THE GROMMET JOURNAL

Preparing Grommet Holes

Rubber Grommets1 min readExplore product profiles

A panel grommet hole is the opening into which the part is installed. Its size and edge condition affect fit and cable protection. Use the mounting-hole specification rather than the grommet's flange outside diameter.

Prepare and deburr the cutout according to the drawing, and check panel thickness. Follow the installation method for the selected profile. Hammer-setting tools used for fabric eyelets are not a general installation method for push-in rubber grommets.

Desk cable outlets, fabric eyelets and panel grommets are different products. Identify the intended function before choosing the component. After installation, verify retention and ensure that the cable cannot contact an exposed sharp edge.
