Cable grommet Rittal 4316.000, polypropylene (PP), white, Ø 13 mm

Rittal 4316.000 is a white cable grommet made of polypropylene (PP) with a nominal diameter of 13 mm. Designed for installation in panels, enclosures and housings, this thermoplastic grommet provides a protected, tidy cable entry while reducing mechanical wear on cable sheaths. Its material and shape help preserve the integrity of the enclosure and support cable routing in electrical and industrial installations.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction delivers chemical resistance, dimensional stability and low moisture absorption, making the grommet suitable for standard indoor and sheltered outdoor use. The 13 mm diameter accommodates many common signal and power cables, providing a snug fit that reduces movement and abrasion. The smooth edges protect cable insulation and help maintain neat, professional cable runs inside control cabinets and distribution panels.

Suitable for

• Protecting and routing single cables with an outer diameter up to approximately 13 mm through panels and enclosures
• Electrical cabinets, control panels and distribution boxes where cable entry protection is required
• Industrial equipment housings and junction boxes to reduce cable wear and potential chafing
• Applications requiring a low-cost, chemically resistant cable entry solution

When it may not be suitable

This grommet is intended for cable diameters at or below its nominal size; cables significantly larger than 13 mm will not fit. For applications that demand high ingress protection under continuous outdoor exposure, special sealing solutions or grommets with integrated sealing lips may be more appropriate than this standard thermoplastic part.

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Colour: white
• Nominal diameter: 13 mm
• Application: cable entry protection for panels and enclosures
• Typical use environment: indoor and sheltered outdoor installations

How to use

Select a panel cutout matching the grommet's nominal diameter, push the grommet into the prepared hole until it seats flush with the panel surface, and route the cable through the grommet. Ensure the cable outer diameter is compatible with the 13 mm opening for a secure fit. For improved strain relief or enhanced sealing, combine the grommet with appropriate clamps, bushings or external seals as required by the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the outer diameter of the cable to ensure compatibility with a 13 mm nominal opening
• Assess the installation environment for exposure to chemicals, temperature extremes or UV to verify PP is appropriate
• Check panel thickness and required cutout dimensions to ensure correct fit and seating

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use the Rittal PP grommet in enclosures where mechanical protection and neat cable routing are required but where specialized sealing is not mandatory. Inspect fitted grommets during maintenance to ensure they remain seated and free of cuts or deformation.
