Value Collection 0286275 Silicone Round Cord 0.275 in 100 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0286275 is a silicone round cord stock supplied in a 100-foot standard coil. This flexible sealing cord is manufactured from silicone elastomer, making it well suited for applications that demand resistance to temperature extremes, compression set, and environmental exposure. The nominal diameter is 1/4 inch (0.275 inches decimal), a common size used across a wide range of static sealing, gasketing, and cushioning tasks. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals use silicone cord stock to fabricate custom gaskets and seals on site when pre-cut parts are not available.

This cord stock is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, plumbing access panels, equipment enclosures, and general industrial sealing applications. The 100-foot coil length allows technicians to cut lengths to specification in the field or shop, reducing material waste and eliminating the need to stock multiple pre-cut sizes. It is particularly useful where a continuous, compressible seal is needed around an irregular perimeter or curved surface.

Key Features

• Silicone material offers broad temperature resistance and long-term flexibility
• Round cross-section seats consistently in grooves and against flat mating surfaces
• 0.275-inch decimal diameter provides a precise fit for 1/4-inch nominal seal channels
• 100-foot coil allows field fabrication of custom-length gaskets and seals
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing on standard U.S. trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose silicone round cord stock suitable for static sealing, gasketing, and cushioning applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance trades where a 1/4-inch nominal diameter silicone cord is specified.

Installation Notes

This cord stock is typically cut to length using a sharp utility knife or shears on a clean, flat surface. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of old gasket material, oil, and debris before installing a new seal. For closed-loop seals, cut ends should be joined with a compatible silicone adhesive to maintain seal integrity. Always consult applicable equipment service documentation for groove dimensions and compression requirements before sizing cord stock for a critical seal.
