Value Collection BDC87693 Rubber Grommet 1-1/8 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDC87693 is a rubber grommet designed to protect wiring, cables, and tubing where they pass through punched or drilled holes in sheet metal panels, enclosures, and bulkheads. With a 1-1/8 inch outside diameter, a 5/8 inch inside diameter, and a 1/2 inch overall thickness, this grommet seats firmly in standard panel cutouts and creates a cushioned barrier that prevents chafing and abrasion damage to wire insulation. The 7/8 inch slot diameter and 1/4 inch slot width allow the grommet to snap into the panel edge without fasteners. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel fabricators commonly install this type of grommet during rough-in and equipment assembly work.

This grommet is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications wherever conductors or tubing must transit a metal panel. Typical installations include electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, control panels, junction boxes, and machine frames. The rubber construction provides flexibility for snap-in installation and maintains a secure fit across a range of panel thicknesses consistent with light-gauge sheet metal fabrication. Each package contains 25 grommets, making this item practical for production assembly or service truck stocking.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation grommet for use in electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, and control panels requiring a 1-1/8 inch OD snap-in rubber grommet with a 5/8 inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians or HVAC technicians during panel fabrication or equipment service. Confirm the panel hole diameter matches the 1-1/8 inch outside diameter before installation. Press the grommet firmly into the cutout until it seats flush against the panel surface on both sides. De-energize all circuits in the enclosure before routing conductors through the installed grommet in accordance with applicable NEC requirements.
