Usa Industrials BULK-RS-HUS60-285 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-HUS60-285 is a stock-length Buna-N (nitrile) rubber strip used for sealing, gasketing, cushioning, and vibration dampening in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial applications. The strip measures 0.125 inches thick by 2 inches wide by 60 inches long and features a Shore A durometer rating of 50 to 60, placing it in the medium-soft hardness range. An aggressive adhesive backing allows direct bonding to equipment surfaces without separate fasteners. Buna-N compound is resistant to oils, fuels, and many common fluids, making this strip a practical choice for service environments where hydrocarbon exposure is expected.

This rubber strip is suited for residential and commercial HVAC installations, mechanical rooms, plumbing rough-in work, and general trade service. Common applications include door and panel sealing on air handlers, compressor mounts, pipe and duct insulation edge protection, and equipment vibration isolation pads. The 60-inch stock length can be cut to fit most field applications with a utility knife or shears. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general mechanical contractors typically specify this type of strip for both new installations and service repairs.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) rubber construction resists oils, fuels, and petroleum-based fluids
• Shore A durometer of 50 to 60 provides medium-soft flexibility for sealing and cushioning
• Adhesive backing bonds directly to metal, plastic, and other smooth surfaces
• Rated from -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F for broad service temperature range
• Tensile strength of 2500 psi supports demanding mechanical environments
• Stock 60-inch length is field-cuttable to any required dimension

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and aftermarket replacement rubber strip for general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial sealing applications where a 2-inch wide, 1/8-inch thick Buna-N adhesive-backed strip is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools beyond a straight edge, utility knife or shears for cutting to length, and a clean, dry bonding surface. Remove all grease, oil, and debris from the mounting surface before applying the adhesive backing to ensure full bond strength. When used near electrical enclosures or live equipment, de-energize the system per applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer lockout-tagout procedures before beginning work. Avoid stretching the strip during application, as this can reduce adhesive contact area and shorten service life.
