Value Collection 0286312 Silicone Round Cord 5/16 in 100 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0286312 is a silicone round cord stock supplied in a 100-foot standard coil. This extruded silicone cord is used as a sealing, gasketing, or cushioning material in mechanical and HVAC assemblies. It measures 0.313 inches (5/16 inch) in diameter and is manufactured to inch-system dimensional standards. Silicone material provides broad temperature resistance and flexibility, making it suitable for static sealing applications where rubber cord stock is required. Technicians cut this cord to length at the job site and form it into custom gaskets or seal channels as needed.

This cord stock is appropriate for residential and commercial applications including HVAC cabinet sealing, equipment access panel gasketing, plumbing fixture sealing, and general mechanical assembly work. The 100-foot coil length supports both single-job cuts and shop-stock use. The round cross-section seats consistently in grooves or along mating surfaces, providing reliable compression seals without adhesive in many static applications.

Key Features

• Silicone material offers wide temperature range flexibility and resistance to weathering and aging
• Round cross-section seats evenly in standard cord grooves and channels
• 5/16 inch (0.313 inch) diameter for precision fit in matching groove profiles
• 100-foot coil allows field cutting to any required length
• Inch-system dimensioning matches standard U.S. trade tooling and groove specs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose silicone round cord stock for static sealing and gasketing applications in HVAC, mechanical, and related trade assemblies where a 5/16 inch diameter silicone cord is specified.

Installation Notes

Cut cord to required length using a sharp blade for a clean, square end before forming into the seal channel. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of old gasket material or debris before seating the cord. No adhesive is required for most static groove applications, but confirm channel geometry matches cord diameter to achieve proper compression. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant safety codes when servicing sealed enclosures or pressure-bearing assemblies.
