Crandall Office Furniture’s Steelcase 462 Leap V2 aftermarket side activated stool gas cylinders have been constructed to meet original OEM chair specifications and are built to last.
A office chair gas cylinder is the height adjustment mechanism on the chair. The typical life span of a office chair gas cylinder is 4-7 years, depending on use and abuse. If failed, your chair will be left with limited or no height adjustment, however you can quickly and easily replace your broken Steelcase 462 Leap V2 stool gas cylinder today.
Our Steelcase 462 Leap V2 gas cylinders are made to fit all Steelcase 462 Leap V2 chairs using the side activated style gas cylinder – Manufactured after 01-19-2009.
This cylinder can successfully be used on a standard Steelcase 462 Leap V2 chair, to convert it to stool height, standing desk, sit-to-stand desk, or bar height. Also available is our full stool conversion kit (including foot ring) for the Steelcase 462 Leap V2 chair.

Excellent service. I would buy from Crandall Office Products again.

Way too tall for me – I am 5’6″ and my feet don’t touch the ground all the way down. But I figured out a solution. I took apart the new and old cylinder (the bottom housing the strut goes into) and swapped them. Now my feet touch the floor and it’s usable. You just can’t fully extend the strut up without it coming out of the housing. but i will never use the chair that high so it’s not a big deal. Better than a seized up one that doesn’t move at all!

The only improvement I suggest is including the diagram/schematics of the product

Excellent customer service. There was a slight issue with the cylinder and a replacement was shipped immediately.
Would definitely deal with them again for any Steelcase office chair replacement parts.

I used this to replace the stock piston in a leap v2. Initially, I was sent the wrong size. Customer support was super easy to deal with, they sent me the correct piston right away – no fees , no bs.

Quick shipping, earlier than expected date than they told me and the product worked exactly as described.

I looked around at a lot of vendors who tried to sell regular top activated pistons for the Leap V2 knowing this is side activated. This was the only gas cylinder I could find that showed pictures of the mechanism that I felt confident was the right part. Once I received the new part there was approximately 10 minutes of coercing the old cylinder out and 30 seconds of installation of the new one. The new gas cylinder works great!
