3/16" Inside Diameter Rubber Grommet - 1/4" Groove - Fits 5/16" Panel Hole

Product Overview:

3/16" Inside Diameter Rubber Grommet - 1/4" Groove - Fits 5/16" Panel Holes. Ideal for passing wires through panels without risking damage or abrasion by acting as a protective barrier, extending the lifespan of your cables and wires.

Dimensions:

• Inside Diameter: 3/16"
• Groove Width: 1/4"
• Groove Diameter: 5/16"
• Outside Diameter: 7/16"
• Thickness: 3/8"

1) Inside diameter - what passes through. 2) Groove width - must equal your panel thickness. 3) Panel hole - the drilled hole the groove snaps into (the Fits size). Get all three right and the grommet seats like factory.

• Measure and Cut the Hole: Accurately measure the diameter of the wire or cable and cut a hole slightly smaller in the panel or surface where the grommet will be placed.
• Prepare the Grommet: Ensure the rubber grommet is clean and free from any debris. If necessary, lightly lubricate with a silicone-based product for easier installation.
• Insert the Grommet: Gently press the grommet into the hole, starting from one side and working your way around. It should fit snugly without excessive force.
• Thread the Cable or Wire: Once the grommet is securely in place, thread the cable or wire through it. The grommet should provide a protective, snug fit around the cable.
• Final Check: Ensure the grommet is seated properly and provides a tight seal. Adjust if necessary to avoid any movement or chafing of the wires.
