Value Collection 0284500 Buna-n Round Cord Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0284500 is a Buna-N (nitrile rubber) round cord stock supplied in a standard 100-foot coil. Buna-N compound offers strong resistance to petroleum-based fluids, making this cord stock a practical choice for fabricating O-rings, gaskets, and custom seals in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling applications. At 0.5 inch in diameter, the cord ships ready to cut and join to the required length. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians reach for this material when a molded seal of a specific size is unavailable or when a field-fabricated replacement is the faster solution.

This cord stock suits residential and commercial service work where fluid or gas sealing is required. Common applications include custom O-ring fabrication for pump housings, valve bodies, refrigeration fittings, and hydraulic connections. The 100-foot coil length provides enough material for multiple jobs or high-volume shop use. It is measured in the inch system and is compatible with standard cord-joining adhesives and splicing kits used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance crews.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) compound provides resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids
• 0.5 inch diameter for consistent cross-section in custom seal fabrication
• 100-foot coil length reduces per-unit cost for shops with ongoing sealing requirements
• Round cord profile suited for standard O-ring groove and gland configurations
• Inch-system dimensions for straightforward measurement and cutting in the field

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose round cord stock for field fabrication of custom O-rings and seals in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling systems where Buna-N compound meets the service fluid and temperature requirements.

Installation Notes

Cut to required length using a sharp, straight-edge blade for a clean mating surface before splicing. A licensed plumber or HVAC technician should isolate and depressurize any system before removing existing seals or installing fabricated replacements. Follow the cord adhesive or splice kit manufacturer instructions for cure time before returning the system to pressure. Verify that Buna-N is chemically compatible with the service fluid before installation, as nitrile is not suitable for contact with ketones, esters, or chlorinated solvents.
