Value Collection BDC87686 Rubber Grommet 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDC87686 is a rubber grommet designed to protect wires, cables, and tubing where they pass through metal panels, chassis, or bulkheads. With a 0.5 inch outer diameter, a 0.25 inch inside diameter, and a 0.25 inch thickness, this grommet seats securely in a punched or drilled hole and creates a buffer between the sharp edge and the material passing through it. The slot diameter measures 0.375 inches with a slot width of 0.0625 inches, allowing the grommet to snap into a panel without requiring full disassembly of an existing wire run. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel fabricators use this type of grommet as a standard protective fitting in control panels, electrical enclosures, and equipment housings.

This grommet is suited for light-duty wire and cable management applications in residential and commercial settings. It is commonly installed in HVAC control panels, electrical junction boxes, appliance cabinets, and sheet metal enclosures where wiring must pass cleanly through a drilled or punched opening. The rubber construction provides flexibility for easy installation and a snug fit against the panel edge. This listing includes 50 grommets per package, making it appropriate for contractors and technicians who need a reliable on-hand supply for repeat service calls or panel builds.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the panel or enclosure fully before installing or replacing grommets near live wiring. The slot design allows the grommet to be pressed onto an existing wire and then snapped into the panel opening without disconnecting conductors. Verify the panel hole diameter matches the grommet outer diameter before installation to ensure a proper seated fit.
