Value Collection IRG-14-BKN Flexible Rubber Grommet

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION IRG-14-BKN is a flexible rubber grommet designed to protect wiring, tubing, and cables where they pass through metal panels, chassis, or enclosures. With a 0.5 inch outside diameter and a 0.25 inch inside diameter, this grommet seats into a panel cutout and creates a cushioned barrier that prevents abrasion and chafing on conductors or lines. The slot diameter measures 0.3437 inches with a slot width of 0.0630 inches, allowing the grommet to snap into a panel edge without requiring a full hole. Overall thickness is 0.188 inches. Hardness is rated at 50-60, indicating a medium-durometer rubber that remains flexible across a broad range of service temperatures. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel fabricators install this type of grommet as a standard protective measure during wiring and mechanical assembly work.

This grommet is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications wherever conductors, low-voltage wiring, or tubing must pass through a sheet metal panel, electrical enclosure, HVAC cabinet, or equipment chassis. The snap-in slot design simplifies installation in existing panel openings without disassembling surrounding components. It is commonly used during new equipment assembly, field service repairs, and enclosure modifications where wire protection and panel edge insulation are required by code or best practice.

Key Features

• Flexible rubber construction with 50-60 durometer hardness for reliable snap-in fit and long-term resilience
• Slot-style design with 0.3437 inch slot diameter and 0.0630 inch slot width for installation into existing panel edges without a through-hole
• 0.5 inch outside diameter and 0.25 inch inside diameter accommodate a range of wire bundle and tubing sizes
• Black color for standard industrial and electrical enclosure applications
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per piece, minimizing added load in finished assemblies
• Sold in packages of 100 for bench stock and service van inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard snap-in flexible grommet for use in sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, and mechanical assemblies requiring wire or tubing pass-through protection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, or mechanical assemblers as part of wiring or panel fabrication work. De-energize all circuits and discharge any stored energy in the panel or enclosure before inserting or replacing grommets near live conductors. The slot design allows the grommet to be pressed into a panel cutout by hand; no special tooling is required. Ensure the panel material thickness is compatible with the 0.188 inch grommet thickness before installation.
