Value Collection IRG-9-BKN Flexible Rubber Grommet 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION IRG-9-BKN is a flexible rubber grommet designed to protect wires, cables, tubing, and hoses where they pass through panels, enclosures, or bulkheads. With a 7/16 inch outside diameter, 1/8 inch inside diameter, and a 7/32 inch overall thickness, this grommet seats cleanly into punched or drilled holes to cushion edges and prevent abrasion damage. The slot configuration — 5/16 inch slot diameter and 1/16 inch slot width — allows the grommet to be installed around existing lines without requiring disassembly of the run. Rubber construction provides flexibility and a snug, vibration-resistant fit. Sold in a pack of 100.

This grommet is a standard component used across electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical applications wherever a conduit, wire bundle, or tube penetrates a metal or plastic panel. It is commonly installed in electrical enclosures, equipment cabinets, HVAC unit housings, and control panels. The black rubber construction blends with most panel finishes and holds its shape across a range of operating temperatures. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers routinely stock flexible grommets of this type for panel work and field repairs.

Key Features

• Flexible rubber construction with a hardness rating of 50-60 Shore, providing a firm yet compressible seal around penetrations
• Slot design (5/16 inch slot diameter, 1/16 inch slot width) allows installation around pre-run cables or tubing without disconnecting ends
• 1/8 inch inside diameter sized for small-gauge wires and light-duty tubing
• 7/16 inch outside diameter fits standard punched panel openings
• Black color for clean, professional appearance in panel and enclosure work
• Pack quantity of 100 units supports bulk stocking for service vehicles and shop inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-fitment flexible grommet for panel and enclosure applications requiring a 7/16 inch outside diameter opening. Suitable for use in electrical panels, HVAC unit housings, control cabinets, and similar sheet metal or plastic panel penetrations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, or sheet metal workers during panel fabrication or service. Always de-energize the panel or equipment before inserting or removing grommets near live conductors, in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout requirements. The slot feature allows snap-in installation around existing wires or tubing — press the grommet firmly into the panel hole until the flange seats flush against the panel face. Do not stretch or force the grommet beyond its rated opening size, as this may compromise the protective seal.
