Sealing components for hvac

HVAC and refrigeration systems combine mechanical sealing of cabinets and ductwork with refrigerant and water-line sealing, and each calls for a different elastomer. Cannon Gasket supplies custom gaskets, washers, and O-rings for HVAC OEMs, refrigeration manufacturers, and commercial mechanical contractors.

Where hvac sealing shows up

  • Air handler gaskets and door seals
  • Ductwork sealing strips
  • Coil end-plate gaskets
  • Evaporator and condenser seals
  • Plenum gaskets
  • Register and diffuser seals

HVAC Sealing Applications

Cabinet and panel sealing covers weatherstrip and door seals on rooftop units and air handlers, where neoprene sponge and EPDM hold up to weather and repeated door closing. Refrigerant line seals at fittings use neoprene and HNBR for compatibility with refrigerants, while condensate drain pan gaskets run in EPDM and polyurethane to handle constant water and biofilm exposure. For vibration isolation under compressors and condensers, Cannon supplies sponge, polyurethane, and cork-rubber pads. Ductwork sealing at flange joints uses neoprene and EPDM gaskets sized to the joint.

Materials We Supply for HVAC

Cannon stocks neoprene in both solid and sponge grades and EPDM in both solid and sponge grades, which together cover most cabinet, door, and ductwork sealing. HNBR is supplied for refrigerant contact, polyurethane for drain pans and isolation pads, and silicone for high-temperature condenser components. Cork-rubber serves vibration isolation and flange gasketing, and Mylar and Kapton are available for thermal sensor protection.

Production and Quality

Cannon runs high-volume rotary die cutting for production HVAC programs and applies PSA backing so parts can be installed in line during cabinet assembly. Custom kitting supports service and repair programs. VMI and blanket orders are available to match OEM production scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions from hvac buyers.

Are you ISO 9001 certified?
Yes, ISO 9001:2015 certified. Documented quality management covers incoming material verification, in-process inspection, calibrated measurement, final inspection, non-conformance handling, corrective action, and full lot traceability. AS9100-ready for aerospace, with MIL-spec and FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 / USP Class VI grades available on request.
Can you cut foam gaskets for ductwork and air handlers?
Yes. Neoprene, urethane, and PVC closed-cell foams die-cut from 1/16 inch through 1 inch thick, with PSA backing for installer-friendly application.
Do you serve general industrial OEMs?
Yes. Automotive, Electronics, Industrial Controls, HVAC, Plumbing, Irrigation, Pool & Spa, and Marine programs all run custom gaskets and washers through our Fontana facility. JIT, VMI, and Kanban replenishment available on ongoing programs.
Which materials are typical for HVAC gaskets?
EPDM for weather-exposed air handlers, Neoprene for balanced oil / weather / ozone resistance, closed-cell foam for dust and sound sealing, and Nomex paper for high-temperature flue and exhaust applications.
Which regulated industries do you serve?
Aerospace (AS9100-ready), Medical & FDA (ISO 7 clean room, USP Class VI), Food & Beverage (FDA 21 CFR 177.2600), Oil & Gas (chemical-resistant elastomers), and Defense (US-based production, MIL-spec compounds).
How fast do you return a quote?
Most RFQs come back within one business day. Simple profile updates to an existing tool quote same-day. Send a drawing, DXF, or competing part number and our engineering team reviews material, tolerance, and volume before pricing.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimums depend on the part and material. We cut prototype and first-article quantities for engineering evaluation, then scale up to production volumes from the same tooling. For high-volume programs we run JIT, VMI, and Kanban replenishment out of Fontana, California.
What should I send with an RFQ?
Ideal: a drawing or DXF, material spec (or compound family), estimated annual volume, and any regulatory callouts (FDA, USP Class VI, AS9100, MIL-spec). If you only have a sample or a part number from a competing supplier, send that and we will reverse-engineer the spec before quoting.
What are typical lead times?
Prototype and first-article parts usually ship in 5-10 business days. Production runs from existing tooling are 2-3 weeks depending on volume and material lead time. Rush and expedite options available on a case-by-case basis.
