Value Collection 0285312 Neoprene Round Cord Stock 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0285312 is a neoprene round cord stock supplied in a 100-foot standard coil. It measures 0.313 inches in diameter, equivalent to a 5/16-inch fractional dimension. Neoprene cord stock is used as a compression seal, gasket material, or cushioning element in mechanical and industrial assemblies. It is well suited for applications requiring moderate oil resistance, weathering resistance, and flexibility across a range of temperatures. Technicians and maintenance professionals cut this cord to length on the job to fit custom grooves, channels, or sealing paths.

This cord stock is commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where a field-cut round sealing profile is needed. Typical applications include door gaskets, access panel seals, pipe penetration cushioning, and vibration-dampening strips. The round cross-section allows it to seat into standard cord grooves and compression-fit applications. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where neoprene-compatible service conditions exist.

Key Features

• Neoprene construction provides moderate oil, ozone, and weather resistance
• Round cross-section seats consistently in standard cord grooves
• 0.313 inch (5/16 inch) diameter for a common fractional sealing size
• 100-foot coil length allows multiple cuts from a single stock unit
• Measured in inch system for straightforward field sizing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose neoprene round cord stock for use in mechanical sealing, gasketing, and cushioning applications where a 5/16-inch diameter round neoprene profile is required.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a sharp utility knife or razor blade on a flat cutting surface for a clean, square end. Ensure the mating groove or channel is clean and free of debris before seating the cord. No adhesive is required in compression-fit applications, though contact adhesive may be used in low-compression or open-channel installations. Verify neoprene compatibility with any fluids or chemicals present at the installation site before use.
