Value Collection 0296098 Buna-n Square Cord Stock 200 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0296098 is a Buna-N square cord stock supplied in a 200-foot standard coil length. Buna-N, also known as nitrile rubber, is a synthetic elastomer well suited for sealing applications involving petroleum-based fluids, oils, and fuels. The cross section measures 0.098 inches square, making this cord stock appropriate for fabricating custom O-rings, gaskets, and static seals in a wide range of fluid-handling systems. Technicians cut and splice this cord to length on the job site, allowing a single coil to serve multiple seal sizes and configurations. The square profile seats consistently in grooves designed for square-cross-section seals.

This cord stock is used in plumbing, hydraulic, pneumatic, and HVAC applications where a field-fabricated nitrile seal is required. It is particularly useful for service technicians who need to produce custom-length seals without carrying an exhaustive inventory of pre-formed O-rings or gaskets. Typical install scenarios include valve packing, pump seal replacement, and manifold face sealing in residential and light commercial systems.

Key Features

• Buna-N nitrile rubber construction with good resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids
• Square cross section at 0.098 inches provides consistent groove contact and reliable static sealing
• 200-foot coil length allows field fabrication of multiple custom seals from a single supply
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing compatibility with standard imperial groove dimensions
• Flexible cord stock cuts cleanly with a utility knife for fast on-site seal production

Compatibility

Designed for use as field-fabricated square cord sealing material in plumbing, HVAC, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems requiring a 0.098-inch square cross-section nitrile seal.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or hydraulic system technicians. Shut down and depressurize the system and isolate all fluid supply before removing any existing seal or packing. Cut cord stock to the required circumference and splice ends cleanly and squarely for a consistent seal. Ensure the groove is clean and free of debris before seating the fabricated cord.
