Usa Industrials BULK-RS-H60-268 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-H60-268 is a stock-length Buna-N rubber strip used for gasketing, sealing, vibration dampening, and weatherstripping applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial installations. It measures 2 inches wide by 60 inches long and carries a Shore A durometer rating of 60, placing it in the medium-firmness range suited for compression seals and protective liners. Tensile strength is rated at 800 to 1000 psi. The strip is black and weighs approximately 0.16 pounds. Buna-N, also known as nitrile rubber, resists petroleum-based oils, fuels, and many common refrigerants, making it a practical choice for mechanical and fluid-system sealing tasks.

This rubber strip is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a flexible, oil-resistant seal or cushioning layer is needed. Common uses include duct system gasketing, equipment mounting pads, pipe wrap, door and access panel seals, and general-purpose fabrication. At 60 inches, the strip can be cut to custom lengths on the job. The 60A Shore hardness balances conformability with enough firmness to hold a reliable compression seal under moderate load.

Key Features

• Buna-N nitrile rubber construction resists petroleum-based oils, fuels, and many refrigerants
• Shore A 60 durometer provides medium firmness for compression sealing and vibration isolation
• Tensile strength of 800 to 1000 psi for durable service under moderate mechanical stress
• Operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F suits most HVAC and plumbing environments
• Stock length of 60 inches allows field trimming to fit custom applications
• Lightweight at 0.16 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Buna-N rubber strip suitable for gasketing, sealing, and cushioning tasks in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial mechanical applications where nitrile rubber is specified.

Installation Notes

This strip is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors as part of sealing or vibration-isolation assemblies. Cut to length using a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. Ensure mating surfaces are clean, dry, and free of debris before applying the strip. When used as a compression gasket, follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque and surface preparation.
