Usa Industrials BULK-RS-H60FDA-242 Buna-n Rubber Sheet

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-H60FDA-242 is a Buna-N (nitrile) rubber sheet used for gasket cutting, sealing, vibration dampening, and general fabrication in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications. It measures 0.125 inches thick by 12 inches wide by 24 inches long and carries a Shore A durometer rating of 50 to 60, placing it in the medium-soft hardness range. The white color aids in visual inspection during fabrication. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working in oil-exposed or fuel-adjacent environments rely on Buna-N sheet stock for its reliable resistance to petroleum-based fluids and moderate temperature ranges.

This rubber sheet is suited for residential and light commercial service work where custom-cut gaskets, pipe flange pads, equipment mounts, or sealing strips are required. Common applications include HVAC equipment isolation pads, plumbing flange gaskets, and general mechanical seals. The stock sheet format allows tradespeople to cut to fit using standard utility knives or die-cutting tools. It is appropriate for dry, wet, and oil-contact environments within its rated temperature range of -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) compound offers strong resistance to petroleum oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids
• Medium-soft durometer (50 to 60 Shore A) provides good conformability for sealing irregular surfaces
• Stock sheet format - 12 inches wide by 24 inches long - allows on-site custom cutting
• Rated from -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F for broad service temperature coverage
• Tensile strength of 1,000 psi supports reliable performance in compressed gasket applications
• White color assists with layout marking and visual inspection during fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Buna-N rubber sheet suitable for fabricating custom gaskets, seals, pads, and strips in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical maintenance environments where oil and fuel resistance is required.

Installation Notes

Cutting and fabrication should be performed by a qualified technician using appropriate hand tools such as a utility knife, scissors, or hole punch on a clean, flat surface. Ensure all system pressure is relieved and equipment is de-energized or shut down before replacing any gasket or seal made from this sheet. Follow applicable codes - including IPC and IFGC as relevant - when using field-fabricated gaskets in piping or equipment assemblies. Avoid prolonged contact with strong acids, ketones, or ozone-generating environments, which can degrade nitrile compounds.
