Rubber Hole Grommet

Rubber Hole Grommet

Special Rubber Hole Grommets for Wire Protection

A rubber hole grommet is a ring-shaped fitting with a through-hole running the full length of its body, allowing wires, cables, or tubing to pass cleanly through a panel opening. Unlike a closed grommet that simply plugs a hole, the hole grommet is designed for pass-through applications — it seats firmly in the panel cutout and protects whatever runs through it from sharp metal edges, vibration, and moisture ingress.

Unlike standard grommets sold off-the-shelf, every hole grommet we make is built to your drawing or sample. We do not stock catalog sizes — inner bore, outer diameter, groove width, flange thickness, and shore hardness are all specified by you to match your panel thickness and cable bundle dimensions exactly.

FlexiParts specializes in on-demand custom rubber hole grommets, offering complete custom injection molding and compression molding solutions from mold design to mass production. Send us your 3D drawings or a sample part to get started.

Where Rubber Hole Grommets Are Used

Hole grommets are specified wherever a wire harness, cable, or fluid line must pass through a metal or plastic panel. Each application carries its own panel thickness, cutout size, and environmental requirements — which is exactly why custom manufacturing matters here.

  • Automotive Wiring Harnesses — passing through firewall, door panels, and chassis openings; groove dimensions must match panel gauge precisely
  • Electrical Enclosures & Control panels — protecting insulated wire at entry and exit points; often specified with a tighter bore tolerance for strain relief
  • Industrial Machinery — routing hydraulic hoses or sensor cables through steel frames; NBR or FKM material typically required for fluid contact
  • HVAC Equipment — sealing refrigerant or drainage tubing pass-throughs; EPDM for outdoor units, silicone for high-heat environments
  • Marine & Outdoor Equipment — waterproof cable routing; groove geometry designed to seal against moisture ingress at the panel face

Tell us your application and we will engineer the grommet geometry to fit — not the other way around.

Customizable Specifications

When you send us your drawing or sample, we quote based on your exact requirements. Parameters we customize include:

  • Inner Bore (ID): matched to your cable or tubing OD; tighter bore creates a self-sealing fit
  • Outer Diaeter (OD) & Groove Width: matched to your panel cutout size and material thickness
  • Flange Diameter & Thickness: prevents pull-through; sized for your clamping or visual requirements
  • Hardness (Shore A): typical range 40–80 Shore A; softer for vibration damping, harder for structural retention
  • Color: black standard; custom colors available for identification or brand requirements
  • Surface Finish: smooth or textured inner bore; matte or glossy outer face

How To Work with Us

The key to great custom parts is collaboration. As a custom molding manufacturer, our engineers will stay connected with you throughout the process, and deliver products that meet your expectations.

  1. Send us your 2D/3D files or product concept, for an accurate quote, please send us materials, order quantity, and surface requirements.
  2. We review your design and send you a clear cost within 24 hours.
  3. Our tooling team builds the mold to your specifications, then send you T1 samples for confirmation.
  4. Once the sample is approved, we run full production under strict quality control
  5. Your finished parts are packaged securely and shipped to your location on time.
