Orbot grommet
A rubber grommet from an Orbot machine.
Small part, real job
Grommets protect a cable or a hose where it passes through a metal panel. A missing grommet lets the panel edge chafe the insulation, and on a wet machine that is how an electrical fault starts. Worth replacing on sight rather than at failure.
Identifying the right part
Fasteners and small components change between production runs, and the part on your machine may not match the current drawing. Measure what you are replacing, or photograph it against a ruler, and send that with your model and serial number. It takes a minute and it saves an order that does not fit.

Before You Order
Measure the diameter of the panel hole and the outside diameter of the cable or hose that passes through it, and send those with your model and serial number. That is the quickest way to confirm the right grommet.
If the panel edge has already chafed through the outer sheath of a power cable, fitting a new grommet is not the whole repair. Isolate the machine and have the cable repaired or replaced by a qualified person, and have the machine electrically tested before it goes back into service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a hardware-store grommet?
It can work if the hole size, panel thickness and cable diameter all match. Those dimensions are not published for this part, so we cannot confirm a substitute — measure yours or ask us.
How do I know if a grommet is needed?
If a cable or hose passes through a metal panel with nothing between it and the panel edge, or the old grommet is split or has pushed out, replace it.

Orbot part numbers are not always obvious from the machine. Send us the model, the serial number and a photograph of the part you need and we will confirm it before you order.
