Usa Industrials BULK-RS-HUS50-285 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-HUS50-285 is a Buna-N (nitrile) rubber strip designed for sealing, gasketing, vibration damping, and surface protection applications across mechanical and industrial trades. The strip measures 2 inches wide and 60 inches long, with a Shore A durometer rating of 50, placing it in the medium-soft flexibility range suited for compressible seals and cushioning. A factory-applied adhesive backing allows for direct surface mounting without additional fasteners or adhesives. Rated for temperatures from -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F, this strip handles a broad range of service environments.

This Buna-N rubber strip is well suited for HVAC cabinet sealing, plumbing access panel gaskets, equipment vibration isolation, and pipe or duct edge protection in both residential and light commercial settings. The adhesive backing makes it practical for technicians working in tight spaces where clamping or mechanical fastening is not feasible. Its black color and stock 60-inch length allow field cutting to exact dimensions on the job site.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement or add-on sealing strip for use in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light industrial applications requiring Buna-N rubber gasketing or vibration isolation material.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or general maintenance trades using standard utility knives or scissors to cut the strip to length. Before applying, ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of oil or debris for proper adhesive contact. Avoid stretching the strip during installation, as this may reduce long-term adhesive bond strength. Follow applicable facility or equipment manufacturer guidelines for gasket material compatibility before use in fluid-contact applications.
