950167 - ESAB 950167 Replacement Rubber Grommet 1.12 ID x 1.50 GD

ESAB 950167 Replacement Rubber Grommet – 1.12" ID

The ESAB 950167 is a specialized rubber grommet designed for use in welding power sources, wire feeders, and associated industrial equipment. When routing cables through metal enclosures, protecting the insulation from abrasion is paramount to electrical safety and equipment reliability. This grommet serves as a robust interface, smoothing out the rough edges of knockout holes and providing a secure pass-through for your wiring harnesses.

Technical Specifications: This grommet is manufactured to precise tolerances. It features an Inner Diameter (ID) of 1.12 inches, making it suitable for medium-to-large cable bundles. The Groove Diameter (GD) is 1.50 inches, which corresponds to the size of the hole in the panel it is meant to fill. The Groove Width (W) is 0.06 inches, optimized for standard 16-gauge or similar sheet metal often used in welding machine chassis construction. The rubber material offers excellent flexibility for installation while retaining enough rigidity to stay seated under vibration.

Replacing missing or damaged grommets is a simple yet critical maintenance task. Exposure to heat, ozone, and workshop chemicals can degrade rubber over time. A compromised grommet can lead to "grounding out," where a live wire touches the metal case, potentially energizing the chassis or causing arc faults. Installing the ESAB 950167 restores the factory-level safety standards of your equipment. It is an ideal spare part to keep on hand for general repairs, retrofits, or custom fabrication projects requiring a 1.50-inch pass-through.

Installation and Use

Installation is straightforward: simply insert one side of the grommet lip into the panel hole and work the rest of the lip around until it seats fully. No special tools are required. This part is compatible with various ESAB models and can also be used in general MRO applications where the dimensions match the panel requirements.
