No Sharp Edges: A Pro's Guide to Grommets & Bushings

You’ve just drilled a perfect hole for your cables through a metal panel or desk, but in doing so, you've created a razor-sharp edge that can easily chew through a cable's insulation over time, leading to faults or safety hazards. The simple, essential, and professional solution is the humble grommet—a small but mighty component designed to protect your wiring and provide a clean finish.

At SCHNAP, our wide range of grommets and bushings is built tough for electrical, industrial, and commercial use, providing the perfect finishing touch for any cable entry point.

The Right Grommet for the Job

We stock a huge variety of sizes and styles to suit any application.

• Standard Rubber Grommets: The classic, flexible choice for protecting cables passing through metal panels. They are perfect for sealing entry points in switchboards, junction boxes, and machinery, providing excellent protection against chafing.
• Nylon Snap Bushings: The quick and easy solution for a fast, no-fuss installation. These durable nylon bushings simply snap and lock securely into a standard-sized hole, providing a smooth, safe edge for your cables to pass through.
• Desk Grommets & Hole Plugs: The go-to for a clean and tidy finish in office fit-outs. Desk grommets allow you to route all your computer, monitor, and phone cables neatly through a desktop. If a hole is no longer needed, a simple hole plug provides a clean, flush cover.

Specialised Solutions for Compliance & Safety

For applications where safety standards are paramount, we offer specialised options.

• Fire-Rated Grommets: For use in fire-rated walls, panels, and enclosures. These grommets are designed to swell up in the heat of a fire, sealing the penetration and helping to maintain the integrity of the fire barrier. This is a critical compliance requirement in many commercial builds.
