Usa Industrials BULK-RS-H50-257 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-H50-257 is a stock-length Buna-N rubber strip rated at Shore A 50 durometer, measuring 4 inches wide by 60 inches long and weighing 0.32 pounds. Buna-N, also known as nitrile rubber, delivers reliable resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and many common solvents, making it a go-to elastomer material across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications. The 50 Shore A durometer rating places this strip in the medium-soft range, offering a balance of compressibility and structural integrity. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians use strips like this for gasketing, vibration dampening, sealing, and protective padding tasks.

This rubber strip suits a wide range of residential and commercial applications where oil- and fuel-resistant sealing material is needed. Common uses include fabricating custom gaskets, lining brackets or panels to reduce metal-to-metal contact, sealing gaps around mechanical equipment, and providing cushioning in HVAC equipment mounting or pipe support scenarios. The stock 60-inch length allows on-site cutting to fit most standard applications without special ordering a custom size.

Key Features

• Buna-N nitrile rubber construction with strong resistance to petroleum oils, fuels, and common solvents
• Shore A 50 durometer provides medium-soft compressibility suitable for gasketing and vibration isolation
• Tensile strength rated at 800 to 1000 psi for dependable performance under compression and stress
• Operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F covers most mechanical service environments
• Stock 60-inch length is field-cuttable to exact dimensions with standard utility tools
• Black color standard for this material grade and durometer

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Buna-N rubber strip suitable for custom gasketing, sealing, and padding tasks across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications where nitrile rubber is the specified material.

Installation Notes

This strip is typically cut to length and shape by the installing technician using a utility knife, scissors, or die-cutting tools. When used as a gasket or seal, ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation. Confirm the temperature and chemical exposure conditions of the application fall within the rated operating range of this material before use. No special certifications are required to install rubber strip material, but the broader assembly or system it is used in should comply with applicable mechanical or plumbing codes.
