Value Collection BD6402-131- Rubber Grommet 1-5/8 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD6402-131- is a rubber grommet designed to protect wiring, tubing, and cables where they pass through metal panels, enclosures, or bulkheads. With a 1-5/8 inch outer diameter, a 7/8 inch inside diameter, and a 7/16 inch thickness, this grommet seats firmly in punched or drilled panel holes to prevent abrasion and chafing. The slot diameter measures 1-1/4 inches with a 1/16 inch slot width, allowing the grommet to be snapped into a panel opening without threading wire through a closed ring. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel fabricators commonly use grommets like this when routing low-voltage or line-voltage conductors through sheet metal cabinetry.

This grommet is suited for residential and light commercial applications where wire or conduit passes through a drilled panel. Typical use cases include electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, control panels, and junction boxes. The slotted design allows installation over existing wiring runs without disconnecting conductors. It is packaged in a quantity of 25 units per pack, making it practical for service trucks and shop stock where multiple installations are performed routinely.

Key Features

• Slotted design with 1-1/4 inch slot diameter and 1/16 inch slot width allows snap-in installation over live wiring
• 1-5/8 inch outer diameter seats securely in standard punched panel openings
• 7/8 inch inside diameter accommodates a range of cable and conduit sizes
• 7/16 inch thickness provides a stable, flush fit through typical sheet metal panel walls
• Rubber construction resists abrasion and protects conductor insulation from sharp panel edges
• Sold in packs of 25 for efficient multi-unit stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style rubber grommet suitable for sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, and control boxes requiring a 1-5/8 inch outer diameter snap-in grommet.

Installation Notes

Electricians and HVAC technicians should de-energize equipment before installing or replacing panel grommets whenever possible. Ensure the panel hole diameter matches the 1-5/8 inch outer diameter of the grommet before seating. Use the slotted opening to guide the grommet around existing conductors, then press firmly until the flange seats flush against the panel surface. Inspect the installed grommet to confirm it is fully seated with no gaps that could allow conductor contact with bare metal edges.
