Au-ve-co Products 16457 Rubber Grommet 0.75 in Od

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 16457 is a rubber grommet designed to protect wiring, tubing, and hoses where they pass through metal panels, bulkheads, or enclosures. The grommet features a 0.75 inch outer diameter, a 0.25 inch thickness, a 0.5625 inch slot diameter, and a 0.0625 inch slot width. The slotted design allows for post-installation fitting around existing cables or lines without threading the wire end through first. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel fabricators use this type of grommet to prevent abrasion damage and to meet code requirements for wire protection at panel penetrations.

This grommet is suited for light commercial and residential applications where a clean, protected wire or hose passage through sheet metal is required. Typical install scenarios include control panel wiring, HVAC equipment cabinets, electrical enclosures, and low-voltage wiring penetrations. The rubber construction provides flexibility and a secure fit against panel edges in these environments.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation around existing cables without disconnecting wire ends
• Rubber material resists abrasion and protects wiring insulation at panel edges
• 0.75 inch outer diameter fits standard panel knockouts of that size
• 0.25 inch thickness accommodates typical sheet metal panel wall depths
• 0.0625 inch slot width provides a snug grip on installed cables or tubing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement rubber grommet for use in residential and light commercial electrical panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and similar sheet metal enclosures requiring wire passage protection.

Installation Notes

Installation of this grommet should be performed by a qualified electrician or HVAC technician. Always de-energize the equipment and verify the absence of voltage before working inside any electrical enclosure or control cabinet. For slotted grommets, press the grommet into the panel hole first, then route or snap the cable into the slot. Follow applicable NEC requirements for wiring protection at enclosure penetrations.
