Value Collection BD6402-171- Rubber Grommet

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD6402-171- is a rubber grommet designed to protect wiring, tubing, and cable runs where they pass through metal panels, bulkheads, or enclosures. The grommet seats into a punched or drilled slot opening and creates a cushioned barrier between the edge of the hole and the material passing through it, reducing abrasion and preventing insulation damage. It features a 1-3/4 inch slot diameter and a 1/16 inch slot width, with a 1-1/2 inch inside diameter to accommodate the pass-through. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment fabricators install these during panel wiring, control box assembly, and mechanical system builds where wire protection and a clean penetration are required.

This grommet is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications wherever a slotted panel opening requires edge protection. Common install scenarios include electrical enclosures, HVAC control panels, sheet metal cabinets, and equipment chassis where wire harnesses or tubing pass through fabricated openings. The slotted profile allows the grommet to be pressed into an existing slot rather than requiring a round knockout, making it practical for field installation and panel retrofits. Sold in packages of 25 units, it is well suited for contractors and technicians who install or service multiple panels on a job.

Key Features

• Rubber construction provides flexibility, abrasion resistance, and a secure seat in the panel opening
• 1-3/4 inch slot diameter fits standard slotted panel knockouts
• 1/16 inch slot width accommodates thin sheet metal panel edges
• 1-1/2 inch inside diameter provides clearance for wire bundles or tubing
• Slotted profile allows installation into existing slot openings without round knockout tools
• Package quantity of 25 supports multi-panel jobs and stocking needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock grommet for slotted panel openings in electrical enclosures, HVAC control cabinets, and sheet metal equipment chassis requiring a 1-3/4 inch slot diameter and 1/16 inch slot width.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians or HVAC technicians during panel assembly or service. De-energize all circuits and disconnect power to the enclosure before installing or replacing grommets in live panels. The grommet is pressed by hand into the slotted opening; verify the panel material thickness is compatible with the 1/16 inch slot width before installation. Work follows applicable NEC requirements for wire protection at panel penetrations.
