Value Collection 31944648 Epdm Foam Cord 100 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31944648 is a closed-cell EPDM foam cord designed for sealing, gasketing, cushioning, and vibration-dampening applications across HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial service work. The cord measures 3/8 inch in diameter and runs 100 feet per roll, giving installers plenty of material for continuous runs or multiple cuts from a single spool. Closed-cell EPDM construction resists moisture absorption, ozone, UV exposure, and a wide range of common chemicals. The cord is rated from -20 degrees F to 200 degrees F, making it suitable for both cold-pipe insulation work and moderate-heat duct or equipment sealing tasks.

This foam cord is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever a compressible, weather-resistant seal is needed. Common installations include door and panel gaskets on HVAC equipment enclosures, pipe and conduit penetration seals, mechanical room access panels, and refrigeration cabinet edges. The 100-foot continuous length reduces splicing in long perimeter seals and is a practical choice for service technicians who work across multiple jobsites and need a reliable supply on the truck.

Key Features

• Closed-cell EPDM foam construction resists moisture, ozone, UV, and mild chemical exposure
• 3/8 inch diameter provides a compressible fit in standard grooves and channel gasket applications
• 100-foot roll length minimizes splicing on long continuous seals
• Operating range of -20 degrees F to 200 degrees F covers most HVAC and refrigeration service conditions
• Black color is standard for EPDM foam cord used in mechanical and industrial sealing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose EPDM foam cord suitable for sealing and gasketing in HVAC equipment enclosures, refrigeration units, plumbing access panels, and similar mechanical applications requiring a closed-cell elastomeric seal.

Installation Notes

EPDM foam cord is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or general mechanical contractors using a utility knife and contact adhesive or pressure-sensitive backing where required. Clean and dry all mating surfaces before applying the cord to ensure proper adhesion and compression. Avoid stretching the cord during installation, as elongation reduces cross-section and can compromise the seal. Follow equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable mechanical codes when sealing enclosures or penetrations on pressurized or refrigerant-bearing systems.
