Rubber Grommet Kit Manufacturers
When sourcing a rubber grommet kit, request a contents list with dimensions and material information. Confirm the quantity of each part and the intended applications.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommet Hole Plugs
A rubber grommet hole plug closes an unused opening in a specified panel. It has no cable passage unless a particular product is designed for permitted piercing…
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommets for Hole Sealing
A rubber grommet used for sealing must match the specified opening and mating surfaces. Flexibility does not justify forcing an oversized part into an undersized hole.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommets for Electrical Boxes
A rubber grommet may provide edge protection at a specified electrical-box opening. Confirm that the selected cable-entry arrangement meets the box and equipment requirements.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommets for a 1/2-Inch Hole
A 1/2-inch mounting hole is nominally 12.7 mm. The grommet's usable cable passage will be a separate dimension and must be checked on the drawing.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommets for a 5/8-Inch Panel Hole
A 5/8-inch panel hole measures 15.875 mm. Select a grommet explicitly specified for that mounting-hole size and the panel thickness. The 5/8-inch hole is not the same…
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommets for a 2-Inch Hole
A rubber grommet for a 2-inch mounting hole is specified for a nominal 50.8 mm cutout. Confirm the allowed tolerances and panel-thickness range.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommets for a 1.5-Inch Hole
A 1.5-inch mounting hole is nominally 38.1 mm. Select a grommet whose drawing specifies that cutout and a compatible panel-thickness range.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommets for a 1-1/4-Inch Hole
A grommet specified for a 1-1/4-inch mounting hole fits a nominal 31.75 mm cutout within its stated tolerances. Confirm the panel-thickness range and internal passage separately.
