Nvent Caddy ESG1 Metal Stud Grommet

Product Description

The NVENT CADDY ESG1 is a metal stud grommet designed to protect electrical wiring and cables as they pass through metal wall studs and framing members. The grommet creates a protective barrier between the sharp edges of punched or drilled metal stud knockouts and the outer jacket of wire or cable, reducing abrasion and helping meet code requirements for cable protection in metal-framed assemblies. It is installed by electricians and low-voltage technicians during rough-in on commercial and residential construction projects using metal stud framing.

The ESG1 is suited for use wherever wiring or cables are routed through metal stud framing, including commercial tenant build-outs, light commercial construction, and residential projects using steel framing. It fits into standard knockout openings in metal studs and provides a clean, secure installation point for cable runs. Electricians and communications installers working in metal-framed walls will find this grommet appropriate for securing and protecting low-voltage, line-voltage, and data cabling in compliance with applicable electrical codes.

Key Features

• Protects wire and cable jackets from abrasion at metal stud knockout openings
• Designed for fast installation during electrical and low-voltage rough-in
• Fits standard metal stud framing knockouts used in commercial and residential construction
• Sold individually, allowing quantity purchase to match project scope
• Supports compliance with NEC requirements for cable protection through metal framing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with standard metal stud framing knockout openings in light-gauge steel wall and partition assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or low-voltage technicians during the rough-in phase before drywall is applied. De-energize all circuits in the work area before routing cables through the grommet. Snap or press the grommet into the knockout opening in the metal stud before pulling wire to ensure the protective edge is in place prior to cable contact. Follow applicable NEC requirements for cable protection and support when running conductors through metal framing members.
