Usa Industrials BULK-RS-BHS50-24 Buna-n Rubber Sheet

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-BHS50-24 is a Buna-N (nitrile) rubber sheet used for gasketing, sealing, and vibration-dampening applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial trades. Measuring 0.125 inches thick and 12 inches by 12 inches, this black sheet carries a Shore A durometer rating of 45 to 55, placing it in the medium-soft range suitable for compressible seals and custom-cut gaskets. Tensile strength is rated at 1,500 psi. The material handles a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 212 degrees F, making it viable for both refrigeration and moderate-heat applications. Tradespeople can cut this sheet to size using standard utility knives or die-cutting equipment.

This Buna-N rubber sheet is well suited for residential and commercial applications where oil, fuel, or water resistance is needed. Common uses include fabricating custom flange gaskets, pipe isolators, equipment mounts, and sealing pads. HVAC technicians, pipefitters, plumbers, and general maintenance mechanics regularly use nitrile sheet stock when OEM gaskets are unavailable or when a custom-shaped seal is required on the job. The 12-by-12-inch format is a standard stock size that allows efficient layout and minimal material waste for most small-to-medium gasket cuts.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) compound provides strong resistance to oils, fuels, and water-based fluids
• Shore A durometer of 45 to 55 for compressible, medium-soft sealing performance
• Tensile strength of 1,500 psi for durable gasket and seal fabrication
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 212 degrees F
• 12 x 12 inch stock sheet cuts cleanly with standard hand or die-cutting tools
• Uniform 0.125-inch thickness for consistent compression across sealing surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose nitrile rubber sheet for use in gasketing, sealing, and vibration-dampening applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment service.

Installation Notes

Gasket fabrication from sheet stock is typically performed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, or plumbers. Always depressurize and de-energize the system before replacing any gasket or sealing component. Trace and cut the desired gasket profile using a utility knife, hole punch, or die, ensuring clean edges for full surface contact. Verify material compatibility with the specific fluid or refrigerant in the system before installation.
