Value Collection 0284625 Buna-n Round Cord Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0284625 is a Buna-N nitrile rubber round cord stock supplied in a 100-foot standard coil. Buna-N compound offers solid resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids, making this cord a reliable sealing and gasketing material for plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling applications. The round cross-section measures 0.625 inches in diameter, suitable for cutting custom O-ring lengths, stuffing box packing, and groove-style static seals. Installers and shop technicians use this cord to fabricate field seals when standard O-ring sizes are not available or when a continuous-length solution is required.

This cord stock is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial settings where nitrile rubber compatibility with oils, water, and common refrigeration fluids is needed. Typical applications include HVAC service and repair, plumbing valve reconditioning, and general mechanical sealing work. The 100-foot coil length provides sufficient material for multiple field cuts, reducing the need for multiple separate seal components on a single job. Trade professionals including HVAC technicians and plumbers commonly stock this material for routine service calls.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) compound resists petroleum oils, hydraulic fluids, and water
• Round cross-section at 0.625 inches diameter for groove-fit static sealing applications
• 100-foot coil length allows multiple field-cut seals from a single stock piece
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing in standard U.S. trade work
• Suitable for custom O-ring fabrication and stuffing box applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose nitrile round cord stock for use in static sealing, gasketing, and custom O-ring fabrication across HVAC, plumbing, and fluid-handling equipment that is compatible with Buna-N rubber compounds.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical service professionals. Shut off and depressurize any fluid or refrigerant system before removing existing seals or installing new cord stock. Use a sharp blade to achieve a clean, square cut when joining cord ends for O-ring fabrication, and ensure groove dimensions match the cord diameter before final assembly. Refer to applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for seal material compatibility before use.
