Overview
Barron Equipment supplies the Action Industries V7066-00-W, a large 3 in. EPDM rubber blade seal engineered for side and top weather sealing on residential and commercial overhead doors. This oversized seal installs into compatible #7 large aluminum retainers and provides a wide sealing surface that covers larger-than-standard gaps between the door and the building frame. When properly installed, it creates a continuous rubber barrier that reduces drafts, water infiltration, dust, insects, and other outdoor contaminants from entering the building.
EPDM synthetic rubber is purpose-built for exterior applications exposed to sunlight, ozone, and temperature extremes. This seal maintains flexibility across a temperature range of -50°F to 350°F, so it compresses and rebounds consistently regardless of the season. For garage door weather seal replacement projects on doors with oversized gaps, this 3 in. blade provides the coverage standard-width seals cannot.

Choosing the Right Seal and Retainer
This oversized weather seal is designed for door applications that use compatible #7 large aluminum retainers. Before ordering, verify that the retainer mounted on your door matches one of the compatible profiles: A7082, A7083, A7086, A7087, A7088, A7089, A7092, A7382, or A7388. Standard-size retainers will not accept this 3 in. blade seal.
If the existing retainer is unlabeled or the profile is unclear, contact the Barron Equipment team with a photo of the retainer cross-section. We can help identify the correct retainer and confirm compatibility before you order.
Applications and Use Cases
This large EPDM rubber seal is used for side and top weather stripping on residential and commercial overhead doors where wider-than-standard gaps exist between the door panel and the building frame. Typical applications include warehouses, storage facilities, food processing facilities, service garages, multi-unit residential complexes, and any building with commercial overhead doors or dock-area doors that require a durable perimeter seal.
The 3 in. blade width also makes this seal suitable for dock levelers and other large-door environments that need an oversized rubber barrier to maintain climate control and keep out pests. Because EPDM rubber resists degradation from UV and ozone exposure, it performs reliably on exterior-facing doors with direct sunlight contact throughout the day.

Installation Tips
Before installation, inspect the existing #7 large aluminum retainer for damage, bending, or excessive corrosion. A compromised retainer can prevent the new seal from seating properly and reduce sealing performance. Clean all dirt, debris, and remnants of the old seal from the retainer channel.
Measure the actual installation area rather than relying on the length of the old seal, which may have stretched or shrunk over time. Feed the new seal into the retainer channel from one end. A small amount of dish soap applied to the seal can help it slide through more easily. Have a second person assist on longer runs. Once the seal is fully installed and centered in the retainer, trim any excess material with a utility knife for a clean, finished fit.
