Grommet (cable gland) ShiverPeaks 89864-1 — rubber sealing sleeve for cable passages

ShiverPeaks 89864-1 grommet is a preformed rubber sealing sleeve engineered for cable passages and conduit entries. Made from flexible rubber, it cushions and protects cables against abrasion where they pass through panels, housings or enclosures. The grommet provides a basic barrier against dust and splash moisture, making it suitable for electrical enclosures, control cabinets, vehicles and light industrial equipment that require a simple, reliable cable seal.

Advantages

The rubber construction adapts to cable diameters, reducing wear and preventing chafing on sharp panel edges while maintaining a compact, low-profile installation. Installation requires no special tools; the grommet retains its shape and elastic properties across a range of temperatures typical for indoor and many out-of-vehicle applications. Its smooth inner surface facilitates cable routing and reduces insertion friction.

Suitable for

• Sealing single or small bundles of cables passing through metal or plastic panels
• Use in electrical distribution boxes and control cabinets
• Routing cables in automotive interiors and non-critical engine bays
• Protecting wires in light industrial machinery and equipment enclosures

Key specifications

• Material: flexible rubber compound designed for abrasion resistance
• Form: preformed sleeve/grommet for panel-mounted cable passages
• Function: mechanical protection and basic sealing against dust and splash moisture
• Compatibility: suitable for cable diameters within the elastic range of the sleeve
• Installation: snap-in or push-fit into panel cutouts with minimal tools

How to use

Select a panel cutout size compatible with the grommet profile and the cable bundle. Press the grommet into the panel opening until the flange seats evenly; ensure the sleeve sits flush on both sides where applicable. Route the cable through the inner bore, verifying an even seal around the conductor insulation. For larger bundles, insert cables before final seating where the design allows to avoid overstretching the rubber. Inspect the installed grommet to confirm stable seating and adequate protection from sharp edges.

Usage recommendations

For extended service life, avoid prolonged exposure to strong solvents, oils or high-temperature environments beyond the rubber compound's operating range. Periodically inspect the grommet for cuts, compression set, or hardening, and replace if physical damage or loss of elasticity is observed. When higher ingress protection or oil resistance is required, consider selecting a grommet made from a compound specifically rated for those conditions.
