Value Collection IBNRG-30-BKN Rubber Grommet 1-3/4in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION IBNRG-30-BKN is a Buna-N rubber grommet used to protect wiring, tubing, and cables passing through punched or drilled panel openings. It measures 1-3/4 inches in outside diameter and 7/16 inches in overall thickness, with a 1-inch inside diameter bore. The slot diameter is 1-1/4 inches with a 1/16-inch slot width, allowing the grommet to snap into a panel cutout and hold securely without fasteners. Rated at a Shore A hardness of 45-55, the Buna-N compound provides good resistance to petroleum-based fluids, making it suitable for electrical panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and mechanical enclosures. Each package contains 10 grommets.

This grommet is used wherever wiring, conduit, or tubing penetrates a metal panel and edge protection is required. Common applications include residential and light commercial HVAC units, electrical control panels, generator enclosures, and pump housings. Installers use it to prevent abrasion damage to wire insulation at panel knockouts and to provide a clean, finished appearance at cable pass-throughs. The black color and Buna-N material suit both indoor and outdoor enclosures where exposure to oils or mild solvents is possible.

Key Features

• Buna-N rubber construction with Shore A hardness of 45-55 for firm panel grip and good fluid resistance
• 1-3/4 inch outside diameter fits standard punched or drilled panel openings
• 1-inch inside diameter accommodates wiring bundles, tubing, or conduit
• 1-1/4 inch slot diameter and 1/16 inch slot width allow snap-in installation without tools

• Packaged in quantities of 10 for service van stock or panel assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as a snap-in replacement grommet for metal panel openings requiring a 1-3/4 inch outside diameter rubber grommet in electrical, HVAC, and mechanical enclosure applications.

Installation Notes

De-energize all electrical panels and shut off equipment before installing or replacing grommets at live enclosure openings. Press the grommet into the panel cutout by hand, seating the flange flush against both faces of the sheet metal. Verify the inside diameter clears all conductors or tubing without pinching insulation. Installation should comply with applicable NEC requirements for wire protection at enclosure penetrations.
