Power Cord Grommet

ReefDreamz · Dec 12, 2021

Hi. I'm not exactly sure what its called but I am looking for wall mountable power cord grommets for running power cords through holes in a surface. Needs to be large enough to fit a standard 3 prong plug through. Something waterproof or water resistant is prefered. Image below is just an example. Has anyone found a really nice solution?

I've used these on my stand a few times. Semi rigid but holds up great.

Thank you! I was hoping there was some other option out there that is more waterproof than this style of grommet. Something like this?

They exist, but your going to pay for them. Look up marine application grommets, if you want a 100% seal. What are you trying to do?

It's kind of hard to explain but its for routing power cords for equipment coming from my sump (return pumps, heaters, skimmer, etc.) through a PVC panel. The power cords will run from the sump, through the grommet in the PVC panel, through holes in the 2x6 studs, then pop out through the back of the adjoining wall PVC panel and plugged into an 832. The rectangle in the wall above the grommets is an "access door" I will cut out of the PVC panel then reattach either with screws or hinges so I can access the area inside the wall where the cords will be running.

Go to Lowes and look near where they have tv cable equipment. They sell something like what you want for those who want to want to hide tv cables inside of walls.
