Value Collection BDKP553350 Rubber Grommet 7/16 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDKP553350 is a rubber grommet designed to protect wiring, tubing, and cables passing through panel cutouts, sheet metal, and enclosure walls. With a 7/16 inch outside diameter, a 3/16 inch inside diameter, and a 3/8 inch overall thickness, this grommet seats securely in standard punched or drilled holes. The 5/16 inch slot diameter and 1/4 inch slot width allow the grommet to snap over existing wire runs without full disassembly. Molded from rubber at a Shore A hardness of 60, it provides firm hold and resists edge wear. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel fabricators use this type of grommet as a standard consumable in control panel and equipment wiring work.

This grommet is suited for use in low-voltage and line-voltage wiring applications where conductors, tubing, or cable bundles pass through metal or composite panels. Typical install scenarios include electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, control boxes, and light industrial equipment frames where edge protection is required to prevent insulation abrasion. The slotted design makes it practical for retrofit installations where wire is already routed and cannot be threaded through a closed grommet.

Key Features

• 7/16 inch outside diameter fits standard punched panel openings
• 3/8 inch overall thickness for secure seating in typical sheet metal gauges
• 5/16 inch slot diameter and 1/4 inch slot width enable snap-in installation over existing wire runs
• 3/16 inch inside diameter accommodates small-gauge conductors and thin tubing
• Shore A 60 rubber hardness balances flexibility with panel retention
• Sold in a package quantity of 25, suitable for multi-point wiring jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use grommet for electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, and control panels requiring edge protection at wire or tubing pass-throughs.

Installation Notes

De-energize all circuits before working inside electrical enclosures or equipment cabinets. Verify the panel opening matches the grommet outside diameter before installation to ensure a secure, rattle-free fit. The slotted grommet can be pressed into the opening sideways after wire is already routed; confirm it is fully seated around the full perimeter of the hole. Follow applicable NEC requirements for conductor protection at panel penetrations.
