Conical Sealing Grommets IP67

Conical sealing grommets are high-performance waterproof grommet seals designed to provide exceptional IP67-rated protection when passing cables through sheet metal panels, enclosures, and housings. These heavy-duty rubber sealing grommets create a completely dust-tight and waterproof seal, protecting electrical installations from water ingress for up to 30 minutes when fully submerged at depths of up to one metre, as certified under the EN 60529 standard. Widely used across the UK in electrical engineering, telecommunications, automotive, rail, marine, and industrial machinery applications, conical sealing grommets offer superior environmental protection in demanding conditions where equipment is exposed to moisture, dust, varying weather conditions, and harsh operating environments.

Vital Parts offers three styles of IP67 grommet: larger Conical shaped grommets which provide the best seal, Low Profile sealing grommets which have the smallest footprint, and Strain Relief sealing grommets where the grommet offers mechanical support to the cable. Conical Sealing Grommets are the heaviest duty IP-rated grommet that we offer, delivering the greatest sealing performance as the cable is sealed in two places at each end of the grommet and featuring the thickest wall sections. This superior design makes them ideal for the most demanding applications where maximum protection is required. Available in premium EPDM and Neoprene materials, these sealing grommets accommodate both metric and PG-sized panel holes with multiple colour options including black, dark grey, and light grey finishes.

Installation Tip: The grommet should be installed in the panel first, and then can be perforated by inserting the cable into place, which causes the grommet to grip against the cable tightly and provide the seal.

Available Materials and Style Options:

• EPDM Material - Operating temperature range from -40°C to +110°C with excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, and UV exposure for long-term outdoor applications
• Neoprene Material - Operating temperature range from -30°C to +100°C offering superior resistance to oils, greases, and petrochemicals
• Colour Options - Available in Black (RAL9005), Dark Grey (RAL7001), and Silver Grey (RAL7035) to match various panel finishes
• Size Range - Metric thread sizes from M12 to M63 and PG thread sizes from PG7 to PG36
• Panel Thickness Compatibility - Designed for panel thicknesses from 0.5mm to 5mm depending on specific grommet size

Key Features and Benefits:

• IP67 Certification - Complete protection against dust ingress and water immersion to EN 60529 standards
• Dual Sealing Points - Conical design seals cables at two separate locations for enhanced protection and reliability
• Superior Wall Thickness - Heaviest duty construction amongst IP-rated grommets for maximum durability
• Chemical Resistance - EPDM offers excellent weathering resistance whilst Neoprene provides superior chemical compatibility
• Easy Installation - Install grommet in panel first, then perforate by inserting cable for automatic grip and seal formation
• Wide Temperature Range - Maintains sealing integrity across extreme temperature variations
• Strain Relief Properties - Grips cables securely to prevent pull-through damage and mechanical stress

Common UK Use Cases:

• Marine and Offshore Applications - Boat electrical systems, offshore platforms, and coastal installations requiring saltwater resistance
• Automotive and Transport - Engine bay wiring protection, vehicle electrical enclosures, and rail carriage installations
• Outdoor Lighting Systems - Street lighting, car park illumination, and architectural lighting requiring weather protection
• Industrial Control Cabinets - Manufacturing equipment, process control panels, and machinery housings in harsh environments
• Telecommunications Infrastructure - Outdoor equipment cabinets, cell tower installations, and network infrastructure protection
