Part number 138471 is a push-in grommet with a 3/8-inch inner diameter and a 5/8-inch outer diameter. This small but essential component is used to line holes in metal, plastic, or composite panels, creating a smooth, protected passage for hoses, cables, or other lines.
This grommet is compatible with Helix FR and Helix VR equipment models. A missing, cracked, or deteriorated grommet can lead to wire chafing, hose abrasion, fluid leaks, or the ingress of dirt and moisture. Replacing it protects vital components and maintains the integrity of the equipment's routing paths.
