What are Rubber Grommets?
Rubber grommets are commonly used to protect or cover holes and protect cables or wires from sharp corners or edges. Rubber grommets are useful in a variety of situations. They are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, production, and other related industries. A rubber grommet grips the wire effectively and safely. Rubber grommets are also used in automotive applications. In these applications, they are used to prevent chafing or grazing of lines, wires, and cables on rough surfaces and seal various important under-the-hood and body applications. In addition, rubber grommets can effectively reduce vibration.
