Value Collection 0296202 Buna-n Square Cord Stock 200 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0296202 is a Buna-N square cord stock supplied in a 200-foot standard coil. Buna-N, also known as nitrile rubber, offers reliable resistance to petroleum-based fluids, oils, and greases, making it a common material choice for sealing applications in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment. The cord measures 0.202 inches on each side and is cut to custom lengths on the job or in the shop. Technicians use this stock to fabricate O-rings, gaskets, and custom seals where standard sizes are not available. The 200-foot coil length supports high-volume fabrication and repeat service work.

This square cord stock is used across residential and commercial applications wherever a field-fabricated elastomeric seal is required. Common uses include sealing flanged joints, access panels, pump housings, and valve assemblies. Its square cross-section seats evenly in dovetail and flat-bottom grooves, providing consistent compression across the sealing surface. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and millwrights working on equipment with non-standard groove dimensions frequently keep cord stock on hand to avoid equipment downtime waiting on custom-molded parts.

Key Features

• Buna-N nitrile rubber construction resists petroleum-based oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids
• Square 0.202-inch cross-section seats uniformly in flat-bottom and dovetail grooves
• 200-foot coil provides ample stock for multiple fabricated seals from a single coil
• Cut-to-length format allows field fabrication of custom O-rings and gaskets on site
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing with standard hand tools

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose field-fabrication cord stock for use in any application requiring a square-profile nitrile rubber seal in a 0.202-inch groove width.

Installation Notes

A licensed or experienced technician should de-energize and depressurize the system before removing any existing seals or gaskets. Cut the cord stock to length using a sharp utility knife on a clean flat surface, then join the ends with nitrile-compatible adhesive to form a continuous ring. Verify groove dimensions before cutting to avoid undersized or oversized seals. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant codes such as ASME or IFGC when replacing seals in pressurized gas or fluid systems.
