Usa Industrials BULK-RS-HUS70-286 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-HUS70-286 is a stock-length Buna-N rubber strip used for gasketing, sealing, vibration dampening, and surface protection across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical applications. The strip measures 2 inches wide and 60 inches long, with a Shore A durometer rating of 70, placing it in the medium-firm range suitable for compressive sealing tasks. A pressure-sensitive adhesive backing allows for direct application to metal, plastic, or composite surfaces without additional fasteners. At 0.3 pounds, the strip is lightweight and easy to cut and trim on the job site.

This rubber strip is suited for residential and commercial HVAC installations, plumbing rough-in work, and industrial maintenance tasks where a cut-to-length elastomeric seal or cushion is needed. Common applications include equipment panel sealing, pipe hanger cushioning, door and access panel gaskets, and vibration isolation between rigid surfaces. The adhesive backing makes it practical for single-tech installs where bonding to a fixed surface is required without mechanical fastening.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) compound resists petroleum-based oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids
• Shore A 70 durometer provides medium-firm compression resistance suitable for static sealing
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing bonds directly to clean, dry surfaces
• Rated from -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F for broad temperature compatibility
• Tensile strength of 2500 psi supports durable, long-term sealing performance
• Stock length of 60 inches allows field trimming to exact dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cut-to-length rubber sealing strip for use in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical applications requiring a Buna-N elastomer with adhesive backing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or maintenance mechanics without special tools beyond a utility knife or shears for cutting. Clean and degrease the mating surface thoroughly before applying the adhesive-backed side to ensure proper bond. Avoid stretching the strip during application, as this can reduce adhesive contact area and long-term hold. Confirm that the operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F is appropriate for the specific install environment before use.
