    Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube

    Hello everyone, I'm currently making a table lamp out of driftwood found on the beach. Does anybody have any ideas about the cable passing through the 10mm threaded rod regarding grommets. I'm wondering whether I should use 3/8 BSP to 15mm plumbing connection to get me into a wider diameter...

    Large grommets needed

    Hi does anyone know where I can source any larger round grommets ? I will be drilling a hole in 100 × 100 trunking so guess around 75mm hole. I've seen larger grommets before but they were a different material to rubber, they were like rubber but had fibre in them, a bit like bicycle tyre...

    Rubber Grommets Cable Entry - BS7671

    I am doing a non-compliance document for college. I have to find non-compliances whilst on site. I have seen an Intruder Alarm where the PVC Flexible cable is brought through bare metal, so no grommet is fitted. Can anyone tell me what part of BS7671 this would fall under and the definition, please?

    Meter tail grommets

    Can the hive mind tell me where I can source the meter tail grommets that pack a 16mm insulated/sheathed tail up to 25mm? The Henley block knockouts are for 25mm cable and I want to maintain the IP rating for existing 16mm. I may use heatshrink as a solution but I know these things exist...

    Fire Retardant Grommets

    An interesting grommets question...hold the front page. Wondered if anyone knew a supplier of the white fire retardant grommets normally used to seal a CCU at the point of cable entry? Wylex and BG make pre-packed kits, somewhat over priced for what they are but they sort-of do the job...

    Grommets or conduit in metal back boxes?

    I've seen a few comments on failed installs because of lack of grommets - although apparently not a specific requirement as such. Is oval conduit plastered into chase and fed a little into the back box OK or does one HAVE to cut it just short of the the box and fit a grommet? Granted it's a...

    Missing grommets

    Hi, What are people coding missing grommets on Galv backboxes. I was thinking a Code 2. This makes it a fail now as the Electrical Safety Council recommend that you put "unsatfactory" if there Codes 1 or 2. 80's the orignal wiring checks out with the other tests. Andy
