Panduit GES189F-A-C0 Grommet Edging Solid 0.144 Inch

Product Description

The PANDUIT GES189F-A-C0 is a solid grommet edging strip used to protect wire bundles, cables, and harnesses from sharp metal edges at panel cutouts, chassis openings, and enclosure knockouts. The solid construction provides a continuous, flexible barrier between the sheet metal edge and the cable jacket, preventing abrasion and insulation damage. With a 0.144-inch slot opening, this edging is sized for standard panel gauges common in electrical enclosures, control panels, and wire management installations. Electricians and panel builders install this type of edging during enclosure fabrication or retrofit wiring projects.

This grommet edging is suited for use in electrical control panels, industrial enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment cabinets where cable routing passes through punched or cut openings. It is appropriate for both new construction panel builds and field service upgrades where unprotected edges present a risk of cable insulation wear. The product is sold individually and is categorized as a hardware accessory.

Key Features

• Solid grommet edging design provides continuous edge protection along the full length of the installed run
• 0.144-inch slot opening fits standard sheet metal panel thicknesses used in electrical enclosures
• Protects cable jackets and wire insulation from abrasion at chassis cutouts and panel knockouts
• Flexible construction allows installation on straight runs and mild curves in panel openings
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering on panel builds and service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hardware accessory for use with standard electrical enclosures, control panels, and equipment cabinets requiring edge protection at cable routing openings.

Installation Notes

Electricians and panel builders install grommet edging by pressing the slot over the sheet metal edge of the cutout before routing cables through the opening. Power down the panel and de-energize all circuits before installing or replacing edging in a live enclosure. Ensure the panel edge is free of burrs and sharp protrusions prior to seating the edging to achieve a secure, gap-free fit. Installation work inside electrical panels should comply with applicable NEC requirements for conductor protection and enclosure integrity.
