Value Collection 0282312 Epdm Round Cord Stock 5/16 in 100 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0282312 is an EPDM round cord stock supplied in a standard 100-foot coil. EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber is a synthetic elastomer well suited for sealing, gasketing, and cushioning applications where resistance to weathering, ozone, steam, and water is required. The cord measures 0.313 inches in diameter (fractional equivalent: 5/16 inch) and is measured and sold by the coil. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals reach for EPDM cord stock when fabricating custom gaskets, sealing irregular gaps, or replacing worn seals on equipment that sees outdoor exposure or hot-water contact.

This cord stock is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications including HVAC ductwork sealing, plumbing flange gasketing, pool and spa equipment seals, and general mechanical assembly work. The round cross-section makes it easy to press into grooves, channels, and flanged joints. At 100 feet per coil, there is enough material on hand to complete multiple jobs or stock a service van for field repairs without repeated reordering.

Key Features

• EPDM material provides strong resistance to weathering, ozone, UV exposure, steam, and water
• 5/16 inch (0.313 inch) diameter round cross-section fits standard cord grooves and sealing channels
• 100-foot coil length supports multiple jobs from a single unit
• Inch-system dimensioning aligns with standard U.S. trade measurements
• Round profile allows consistent compression and sealing contact around curved or irregular surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose EPDM round cord stock for use in any sealing, gasketing, or cushioning application that requires a 5/16 inch diameter round cord profile. Confirm groove dimensions and material compatibility with the mating surface before installation.

Installation Notes

EPDM cord stock is typically cut to length with a utility knife or flush-cut scissors before installation. When used as a seal or gasket, ensure mating surfaces are clean, dry, and free of oils or contaminants that could prevent proper adhesion or compression. For pressurized or code-governed applications, verify that EPDM is an approved material under the relevant mechanical, plumbing, or refrigeration code. Avoid contact with petroleum-based lubricants and solvents, which can degrade EPDM over time.
