Value Collection IBNRG-16-BKN Rubber Grommet 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION IBNRG-16-BKN is a Buna-N rubber grommet designed to protect wiring, tubing, and hoses where they pass through metal panels, enclosures, and bulkheads. The grommet measures 1 inch in outside diameter with a 1/2 inch inside diameter and 9/32 inch overall thickness. The slot diameter is 3/4 inch with a 3/32 inch slot width, allowing snap-in installation into punched or drilled panel openings without requiring adhesives or fasteners. Durometer hardness falls in the 45-55 range, providing a firm but compressible seal that resists abrasion and prevents metal edges from cutting through cable jackets or tubing walls. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers use these grommets as a standard material-protection measure during panel and enclosure work.

This grommet is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever wiring or tubing exits a metal cabinet, junction box, HVAC equipment panel, or similar enclosure. The black Buna-N construction offers good resistance to oils, fuels, and moderate temperature ranges, making it appropriate for both electrical and mechanical installations. Each order includes 50 individual grommets, supporting job-lot use or stocking in a service vehicle parts supply.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

De-energize all circuits before working inside electrical enclosures or panels, in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout requirements. Confirm the panel knockout or drilled hole matches the 1 inch outside diameter before seating the grommet. Press the grommet evenly into the opening until the lip seats flush against both faces of the panel. Avoid stretching or forcing the grommet over openings larger than rated, as this reduces edge protection and sealing performance.
