Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords 20 Piece Tub

Our Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords 20 Piece Tub provides a practical selection of 20 elasticated cords in five different unstretched lengths.

Every cord measures 4mm, or approximately 0.16in, wide. Meanwhile, the assorted lengths range from 250mm to 750mm, or approximately 9.84in to 29.53in.

Consequently, users can select a shorter or longer bungee according to the item and distance between suitable attachment points. The assortment works well for banners, tarpaulins, covers, storage and appropriate lightweight items in transit.

The cords come inside a reusable tub with a screw lid and carrying handle. Therefore, users can keep the complete assortment together inside a vehicle, workshop, garage, warehouse or storage area.

However, bungee cords provide flexible temporary fastening rather than certified load restraint. Users must select the correct cord and assess the complete application before use.

Dimensions are nominal, while imperial conversions are approximate. Colours, finishes and the assortment may vary according to current stock or manufacturing batch.

The listing does not specify the exact number of each length within the tub. Therefore, customers should treat this as an assorted 20-piece selection rather than expecting four cords of every size.

Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords Size Range

Cord Width	Unstretched Metric Length	Approximate Imperial Length
4mm / approximately 0.16in	250mm	9.84in
4mm / approximately 0.16in	455mm	17.91in

All measurements describe the cords in their unstretched condition. Therefore, users should not interpret the stated lengths as maximum extended dimensions.

No maximum extension, breaking strain or safe working load has been specified.

Choosing a Draper® Assorted Bungee Cord

The five available lengths provide options for several suitable fastening arrangements.

Shorter cords may suit closely positioned attachment points, compact items or smaller frames. Conversely, longer cords may reach around larger suitable items or across wider gaps.

Before choosing a cord, consider:

• The distance between the attachment points
• The circumference of the item
• The tension required
• The strength of the attachment points
• The weight and shape of the item
• Movement during transportation
• Outdoor weather exposure
• Sharp or abrasive surfaces
• The condition of the cord
• The consequences if the cord releases

Choose a cord that reaches the fixing points without excessive stretching. However, avoid using a cord that remains so loose that it could detach or fail to hold the item.

Using the Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords 20 Piece Tub

Before using a bungee cord:

1. Select the most appropriate unstretched length.
2. Inspect the complete cord and its fittings.
3. Check both attachment points.
4. Position the item securely.
5. Attach one end to a suitable fixing point.
6. Stretch the cord gradually.
7. Keep your face and body away from its recoil path.
8. Attach the second end securely.
9. Check that the cord cannot slide or detach.
10. Recheck the arrangement during use where appropriate.

Maintain control of both ends while fitting the cord. Furthermore, do not release a stretched bungee until its end fitting sits securely against the attachment point.

If the cord requires excessive force to reach, select a longer size or use a more suitable restraint.

Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords for Tarpaulins

The bungee cords can help fix suitable tarpaulins to compatible frames, rails or anchor points.

Choose a cord that provides enough reach without pulling excessively on the tarpaulin eyelet. Next, attach the cord while keeping the elastic under controlled tension.

Use several fixing points to spread tension around the tarpaulin. Otherwise, individual eyelets may experience excessive stress and tear away from the material.

Bungee cords allow limited movement, which can prove useful for some temporary covers. However, strong winds may create repeated shock loads.

Therefore, inspect outdoor tarpaulins regularly and remove or reinforce them before severe weather where necessary.

Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords for Banners

Users can attach suitable eyeletted banners to compatible frames using the assorted bungee cords.

The different lengths provide options for frames and fixing points with varying distances. Additionally, the elasticated construction can accommodate limited movement.

When installing a banner:

• Support the banner before attaching the cords
• Begin at the corners
• Add further fixing points around the edges
• Distribute tension evenly
• Avoid overstretching individual eyelets
• Keep cords away from sharp frame edges
• Check the complete display before public use

The cords do not guarantee that a banner will remain secure in every weather condition. Therefore, assess wind exposure, banner size, frame strength and the number of fixing points.

Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords for Items in Transit

The cords can help hold suitable lightweight items and covers in position during transit.

For example, users may organise equipment inside a vehicle, hold suitable covers in place or bundle appropriate lightweight materials together.

However, elastic cords can stretch and allow movement. Consequently, they should not serve as the primary restraint for heavy, unstable or hazardous loads.

Use correctly rated ratchet straps, lashing equipment or another suitable load-restraint system where movement could cause injury, vehicle damage or danger to other road users.

Load the vehicle correctly before applying the cords. Additionally, recheck the arrangement after the load settles or the vehicle has travelled a short distance where it is safe to stop.

Unstretched Bungee Cord Measurements

All five stated lengths describe the bungee cords before stretching:

• 250mm / approximately 9.84in
• 455mm / approximately 17.91in
• 500mm / approximately 19.69in
• 600mm / approximately 23.62in
• 750mm / approximately 29.53in

The product information does not provide a maximum extended length or recommended stretch percentage.

Consequently, customers should not calculate an expected extended length by multiplying the unstretched measurement.

Stop stretching the cord if it becomes difficult to control, unusually thin or visibly distorted. Instead, select a longer bungee or a different securing method.

Inspecting Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords

Inspect each cord before use.

Look for:

• Cuts
• Fraying
• Exposed elastic
• Permanent stretching
• Cracked fittings
• Bent end fittings
• Loose connections
• Heat damage
• Chemical damage
• Heavy abrasion
• Corrosion
• Distortion
• Loss of elasticity

Do not use a damaged or heavily worn cord. Instead, remove it from the tub and replace it with a suitable new bungee.

A cord may suffer damage during storage, transport or previous use. Therefore, inspect it every time rather than relying on its earlier performance.

Draper® Assorted Bungee Cord Recoil Safety

A stretched bungee cord stores energy. Consequently, an end that slips, breaks or releases can recoil rapidly.

Keep your face, eyes and body away from the potential recoil path. Additionally, wear appropriate eye protection where the risk assessment requires it.

Never pull a cord directly towards your face. Do not deliberately release a stretched bungee or allow another person to stand in front of it.

When removing a cord, hold the end fitting securely and reduce the tension gradually. Maintain control until the elastic returns to its unstretched condition.

Keep the bungee cords away from children and do not allow them to use the cords as toys.

Attachment Points and Sharp Edges

Only connect bungee cords to suitable attachment points.

The attachment point should:

• Remain secure under tension
• Have no sharp edges
• Accommodate the end fitting correctly
• Prevent the fitting from sliding off
• Avoid cutting or crushing the cord
• Suit the item being held
• Remain accessible for controlled removal

Do not connect cords to weak rails, damaged eyelets, cracked fittings or thin materials that may tear.

Furthermore, keep the elastic away from sharp metal, rough timber, hot surfaces and moving machinery.

Use suitable edge protection or choose another securing method where abrasion could damage the cord.

Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords for Outdoor Use

The bungee cords may suit temporary outdoor applications involving suitable banners, covers and tarpaulins.

However, long-term resistance to ultraviolet light and demanding weather conditions has not been specified.

Sunlight, rain, temperature changes and repeated movement may gradually affect the cord. Therefore, inspect outdoor bungees regularly for fading, cracking, stiffness and loss of elasticity.

Remove temporary displays and covers during severe weather where practical. Additionally, replace cords that show deterioration rather than waiting for complete failure.

Important Safety Limitations

Do not use the cords for:

• Lifting loads
• Suspending loads overhead
• Towing vehicles
• Vehicle recovery
• Climbing
• Fall protection
• Supporting people
• Personal restraint
• Securing animals
• Bungee jumping
• Playground equipment
• Electrical insulation
• Heat or flame protection
• Primary restraint of heavy loads
• Restraining hazardous materials
• Applications requiring a certified working load
• Applications where failure could cause serious injury

No safe working load, breaking strain or maximum extension has been specified. Therefore, use the cords only for suitable general-purpose fastening applications.

Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords Storage Tub

The complete assortment comes inside a reusable storage tub.

The screw lid helps keep the bungees contained between uses. Meanwhile, the carrying handle makes the tub easier to move between a vehicle, workshop, garage or storage area.

After using a cord, inspect it and allow it to dry where necessary. Then return it to the tub without placing it under tension.

Do not return wet, heavily dirty or damaged cords to the container with suitable clean components.

The tub provides convenient organisation. However, it does not make the cords suitable for unsafe or load-rated applications.

Cleaning Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords

Remove loose dirt with a dry cloth or soft brush.

Where necessary, wipe the cord with a lightly dampened cloth. Then allow it to dry naturally before returning it to the storage tub.

Do not use strong solvents, bleach or harsh chemicals because they may damage the elastic, covering or end fittings.

Keep the cords away from direct heat, open flames and hot machinery. Additionally, do not place wet cords against metal tools or equipment where corrosion or staining could occur.

Storing Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords

Store the Draper® Assorted Bungee Cords 20 Piece Tub in a clean and dry location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture and chemicals.

Release all tension before storage. Next, coil or arrange the cords loosely inside the tub.

Do not knot the cords tightly or leave them stretched around objects for prolonged periods. Otherwise, the elastic may remain distorted or lose tension.

Secure the screw lid before carrying or storing the tub. Furthermore, keep the container away from sharp tools that could damage the cords.
