Value Collection IBNRG-13-BKN Rubber Grommet 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION IBNRG-13-BKN is a Buna-N rubber grommet designed to protect wires, cables, tubing, and hoses where they pass through metal panels, enclosures, or bulkheads. With a 7/8 inch outside diameter and 3/8 inch inside diameter, it seats into a standard panel cutout and creates a snug, protective barrier against abrasion and edge damage. The 3/8 inch slot diameter and 1/8 inch slot width allow the grommet to snap into a panel without additional fasteners. The black Buna-N compound offers solid resistance to oils, fuels, and common shop fluids, making it a practical choice in electrical, HVAC, and mechanical enclosure work. Each package contains 50 pieces.

This grommet is used wherever wiring or tubing penetrates a metal cabinet, control panel, HVAC unit chassis, junction box, or equipment enclosure. It is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment fabricators to prevent cut-through and insulation damage at panel edges. The snap-in slot design eliminates the need for a separate retainer ring, speeding up installation in high-volume panel builds or field repairs. Suitable for residential and light commercial equipment enclosures.

Installation Notes

De-energize all circuits before installing or replacing grommets in live electrical or control panels, in compliance with applicable NEC lockout-tagout procedures. Use a panel punch or step drill to achieve a clean cutout sized to the grommet outside diameter for a secure snap-in fit. Inspect the panel edge for burrs and deburr as needed before seating the grommet to avoid tearing the rubber. Buna-N is not recommended for installations with prolonged exposure to ozone, weathering, or ketone-based solvents.
