Value Collection 0286210 Silicone Round Cord 3/16 in 100 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0286210 is a silicone round cord stock supplied in a 100-foot standard coil. This flexible sealing cord is used to create custom gaskets, seals, and compression seals in mechanical and HVAC applications. The cord measures 3/16 inch (0.210 inches decimal) in diameter and is manufactured from silicone, a material well-suited for high-temperature and weather-exposed environments. Silicone cord stock is cut to length on-site, making it a practical solution for field repairs and production shop work where pre-cut profiles are not available.

This cord stock is commonly used in HVAC, industrial, and plumbing applications where a compressible, heat-resistant seal is required. Typical uses include door gasket replacement on access panels, oven seals, equipment enclosures, and custom sealing channels. The round profile seats consistently in grooves or channels and compresses evenly under clamping load. This product is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical systems as well as light industrial fabrication environments.

Key Features

• Silicone material provides resistance to high temperatures and UV exposure
• Round profile seats evenly in standard cord grooves and channels
• 0.210 inch decimal diameter (3/16 inch fractional) for consistent fit in standard grooves
• 100-foot coil length allows field cutting to any required length
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing in standard trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose silicone round cord stock for use in HVAC access panel seals, equipment enclosures, and custom gasketing applications requiring a 3/16 inch diameter round cord profile.

Installation Notes

This cord stock is installed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, and industrial maintenance personnel. Cut to the required length using a sharp utility knife or scissors before fitting into the groove or channel. Ensure the mating surface is clean and free of old adhesive or debris before seating the cord. Do not stretch the cord during installation, as this can reduce the effective cross-section and compromise the seal.
