Electric cables are usually distributed through the walls of our house, following engineered paths to maximize coverage reduce possible damages, and reduce costs of installation. One of the persistent issues even with a well-planned out electrical outline of your house is friction. While cables will be immobile once fully placed and won’t be disturbed often some tears can occur during placement and endanger the functionality of the entire system.   

These tears usually happen due to friction between the coarse walls of the holes the cables are being placed into. To prevent damage from friction on cables within installation we utilize rubber grommets. By plugging the hole with a non-blank grommet electric cables and wires have heavily decreased chances of friction damage, making tears extremely hard to happen. With the use of a grommet electric installations will be protected from chemical and mechanical damage that may happen as well. These sources of damage can be very frequent during any type of construction work and repair jobs. Utilizing heavy-duty equipment causes the chance of mechanical damage to increase exponentially, due to resulting vibration and human error being even harder to account for. Whether it’s immediately apparent damage or discovered later on it will interfere with the functionality of our installation, resulting in additional work that could have been avoided. Chemical damage can stem from a variety of factors that include weather, exposure to harmful materials, or residue from other construction jobs. Although keeping and mitigating these factors are aspects of this line of work there’s always something that’ll slip by no matter how hard we plan. This is why it’s always useful to have a backup plan such as the one we present here with the use of rubber grommets.
