Bushings and Grommets
Bushings convert raw-edged holes to smooth, neat, insulated ones. Grommets protect tubes, wires and cables from becoming frayed or cut by sharp panel edges.

Armour (Anti-Short) Bushings
Used at entrance to flexible metallic conduit or armoured cable. Insulates and protects electrical wires from being cut by rough conduit ends. Chamfered lead-in allows for fast installation. Also used in holes through which ropes and steel cables pass, to prevent chafing, cutting or scraping, where bushing space is very limited.
Grommeting
Extruded Serrated Polyethylene (GRPE) Use grommeting to protect tubes, wires and cables from becoming frayed or cut by sharp panel edges. Makes bushings for all sizes and shapes of panel cutouts in sheet metal, glass, wood panels or other sheet-form materials. No tools required-just cut to size and insert. Depending on the panel thickness, grommeting may grip tightly by itself, or it may need a touch of epoxy to keep it in place.
Open/Closed Bushings
A black nylon bushing for side entry and encirclement of preassembled harnesses, capillary tubes or other units that have sections larger than the bushing’s ID. Can also be assembled into holes that already contain cable or tubing. Fingertip pressure snaps the bushing into the mounting hole, forming a complete circle and insulation barrier against the raw edge of the chassis hole.
Snap Bushings
These nylon bushings convert raw-edged holes to smooth, neat, insulated ones. Special locking “fingers” allow the bushings to snap into holes with fingertip pressure. Mechanically protect, insulate, and isolate telecommunications and electrical cables, tubing, hose, rope and utility lines.
