Value Collection 0282187 Epdm Round Cord Stock 3/16 in 100 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0282187 is an EPDM round cord stock supplied in a 100-foot standard coil. EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber is widely used in sealing, gasketing, and weatherstripping applications where resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering is required. This cord measures 0.188 inches in diameter (3/16 inch fractional equivalent) with a manufacturing tolerance of plus or minus 0.008 inches. At 5 pounds per coil, it is a practical bulk format for shops and field technicians who need flexible sealing cord on hand for routine maintenance and fabrication work.

This cord stock is suited for HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical sealing applications. It performs reliably in outdoor and exposed environments where ozone and UV degradation are concerns. The 100-foot coil length supports both small custom cuts and larger production runs. Typical users include HVAC technicians fabricating door gaskets or duct seals, plumbers seating access covers, and maintenance professionals cutting custom lengths for equipment enclosures and panel seals.

Key Features

• EPDM material provides strong resistance to ozone, UV, and weathering
• 3/16 inch (0.188 inches) nominal diameter with a tight tolerance of plus or minus 0.008 inches
• 100-foot coil yields flexible cut-to-length capability for varied job sizes
• Round cross-section suits standard groove and compression seal applications
• Rated to a minimum temperature of -40 degrees F for cold-weather performance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose EPDM round cord for sealing, gasketing, and weatherstripping applications across HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical maintenance trades.

Installation Notes

Cut cord to required length using a sharp utility knife or flush-cut shears for clean, square ends. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the cord. No adhesive is required for compression-fit applications, though contact cement may be used for bonded joints per the equipment manufacturer's guidance. Wear appropriate hand protection when handling rubber cord in bulk coil form.
