Description
Small parts have a way of disappearing right when you need them, and the wave spring inside a KeyMo mount is exactly that kind of part. This is the genuine Dead Air replacement, part number DA011, and it drops right into the KeyMo and KeyMicro adapter systems. If you pull your mount apart for a deep clean and that spring goes flying across the bench, or it finally gets tired after years of heat cycles and lockups, this is the exact piece to put things back in order.
One Wave Spring, Every KeyMo Mount
Dead Air uses this same spring across the whole KeyMo family, which makes stocking a spare simple. It fits the DA428 KeyMo-HUB adapter, the DA429 KeyMo-Saker adapter, and the DA451 Key-Micro adapter. It is also the identical spring that ships inside every Sandman series can and the Sierra-5 KM, along with any other KeyMo-equipped silencer in the lineup. One part number covers all of them, so there is no digging through diagrams trying to figure out which version you need.
Why Keep a Spare KeyMo Wave Spring Around
The wave spring is what keeps tension in the mounting system so your suppressor locks up tight and consistent every time. A worn or lost spring means sloppy lockup, and sloppy lockup is not something you want between a muzzle brake and a can. Anyone who runs quick-detach mounts hard, whether that is a duty setup, a hunting rifle, or a range toy that sees a lot of on-and-off cycles, will tell you the cheap insurance of a spare spring beats a can sitting in the safe waiting on parts.
It weighs next to nothing, takes up zero space in a parts bin, and it is the factory-correct component, so fit and tension are exactly what Dead Air intended. Toss one in with your cleaning kit and forget about it until the day it saves your range trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Dead Air adapters does the DA011 Wave Spring fit?
This spring fits the DA428 KeyMo-HUB, DA429 KeyMo-Saker, and DA451 Key-Micro adapters. It is also the same spring installed at the factory in all Sandman series suppressors, the Sierra-5 KM, and other KeyMo-equipped Dead Air silencers. One part number covers the entire KeyMo and KeyMicro family.
Is this the same spring that comes installed in Dead Air suppressors from the factory?
Yes. This is the genuine Dead Air component, identical to the wave spring that ships inside Sandman series and Sierra-5 KM cans and their KeyMo mounts. Since it is factory-correct, you get the proper fit and tension without any guesswork.
Why would I need a replacement KeyMo wave spring?
The wave spring maintains tension in the KeyMo mounting system so your suppressor locks up tight and repeatable. Springs can wear over time from heat and repeated mounting cycles, and they are easy to lose during disassembly and cleaning. Keeping a spare on hand means a lost or tired spring never sidelines your suppressor.
Does the Dead Air Wave Spring require any special tools to install?
No special tools are needed for the spring itself. It goes in during normal disassembly and reassembly of your KeyMo or KeyMicro adapter. If you are already comfortable taking your mount apart for cleaning, swapping this spring is a quick job.
