Usa Industrials BULK-RS-HUS60-287 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-HUS60-287 is a stock-length Buna-N rubber strip designed for sealing, gasketing, vibration dampening, and surface protection applications across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades. Measuring 0.25 inches thick, 2 inches wide, and 60 inches long, this strip features a Shore A durometer rating of 50 to 60, placing it in the medium-soft range for reliable compression sealing. The adhesive backing allows for direct application to clean surfaces without secondary fasteners. The black Buna-N compound offers solid resistance to oils, fuels, and water, making it a practical choice for a wide range of service environments.

This rubber strip is suited for residential and commercial applications where a field-cut sealing or cushioning material is needed. Common uses include HVAC equipment panels, duct penetrations, pipe hangers, mechanical room installations, and general gasketing tasks. Technicians can cut the strip to length on-site using standard utility tools. The adhesive backing simplifies placement on flat or lightly curved mounting surfaces. The strip performs across a temperature range of -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F, covering the majority of indoor mechanical system environments.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile rubber) compound resists oils, fuels, and water exposure
• Shore A durometer of 50 to 60 for medium-soft compression sealing
• Adhesive backing for direct, no-fastener surface application
• Operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 180 degrees F
• Tensile strength of 2500 psi for reliable performance under moderate stress
• Stock length of 60 inches allows field cutting to required dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement or supplemental sealing strip suitable for HVAC equipment, plumbing supports, and mechanical assemblies requiring Buna-N rubber gasketing or cushioning material.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors during equipment servicing or new installation. Clean and dry the mounting surface thoroughly before applying the adhesive-backed strip to ensure proper adhesion. Cut to length using a sharp utility knife and a straightedge for clean, accurate cuts. Avoid stretching the strip during application, as this can reduce adhesive contact and long-term holding strength.
