Value Collection BDC87338 Expandable Nylon Grommet 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDC87338 is an expandable nylon grommet designed to protect wiring, tubing, and cable runs passing through sheet metal panels, enclosures, and bulkheads. The grommet features a 5/8-inch outside diameter and a 13/32-inch overall thickness, with a 7/16-inch inside diameter sized to accommodate small-gauge conductors and flexible tubing. The expandable design allows the grommet to snap into punched or drilled panel openings without fasteners, creating a clean, snag-free edge that prevents abrasion damage to insulation and jacketing. Nylon construction resists oils, solvents, and moderate heat common in mechanical and electrical enclosures. This product ships in a package quantity of 50 units, making it practical for panel shops, service vehicles, and production work.

This grommet is suited for use in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, electrical panel assemblies, control enclosures, and plumbing access panels where wire or tubing must pass through a metal opening. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel builders commonly install this part when routing low-voltage control wiring, sensor leads, or small-diameter tubing through fabricated sheet metal. The push-in expandable design eliminates the need for separate retaining hardware and speeds installation in repetitive panel-build applications.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose expandable grommet for use in sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, and similar assemblies requiring edge protection at wire or tubing pass-throughs.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools — align the grommet with the panel opening and apply firm hand pressure until the flange seats against the panel face. Ensure the panel opening diameter matches the grommet outside diameter before installation. De-energize all circuits in the enclosure before routing conductors through the installed grommet. Follow applicable NEC requirements for conductor protection and fill when routing wiring through enclosure openings.
