Grommet, Strip

A rubber grommet is a small, circular ring made of rubber that is used to protect or insulate objects passing through holes in metal, plastic, or other materials. They prevent chafing, abrasion, and damage to wires, cables, and pipes.

Rubber grommets are used in a variety of applications, including:

• Protecting electrical wires and cables as they pass through holes in metal panels or walls.
• Sealing holes to prevent the ingress of dust, dirt, and moisture.
• Reducing vibration and providing insulation in automotive and machinery applications.
• Organizing and managing cables in electrical installations.

To choose the right size rubber grommet, measure the diameter of the hole it will fit into and the diameter of the object that will pass through it. Ensure the grommet’s inner diameter matches the object size, and the outer diameter is slightly larger than the hole for a snug fit.

Yes, many rubber grommets are designed to be weather-resistant, especially those made from materials like EPDM and neoprene, which can withstand exposure to UV light, ozone, and varying weather conditions.

Yes, rubber grommets are commonly used for electrical insulation. They protect wires and cables from chafing against sharp edges and prevent electrical shorts by providing a non-conductive barrier.
