Product Information

Manufactured from polyethylene, the grommet strip protects cables and wires from sharp edges in sheet metal work, wood or other panels. Like most manufactured components, grommets are available in a variety of designs for different tasks.

Rubber grommets are push-fit, meaning that they are held in place by internal pressure and expansion only and so require no adhesive. Also known as blind rubber grommets, closed grommets provide air-tight seals when applied, and can be a good choice for sealing holes not currently in use to prevent the build-up of dust. Rubber is a resilient substance and offers several benefits in comparison to other grommet materials. The grommet strip protects cables and wires from sharp edges in sheet metal work, wood or other panels.Rubber grommets provide strain relief, gripping wiring in place and minimising the damage and disruption that might occur if the cord or cable was accidentally pulled. It is odourless and perfectly safe when in contact with food and skin, so silicone grommets are frequently used in kitchen devices, food processing machines and medical equipment.

Rubber blanking plugs are used to seal holes and are designed to hold and control pressure coming from above or below, making them a good grommet choice for high-pressure UK devices and tubing. This offers good tensile strength and resistance to strain and tears, along with strong electrical insulation.
