Today we're going to review and install the Spectro Snap Bushing, part number SWC8055. Note, the snap bushing is available in two sizes: the 7/16 inside diameter and a 9/16 inside diameter, part number SWC8057. Here's what our Spectro snap bushing looks like. This is a nylon bushing that will help protect our wiring as it passes through our pre-drilled hole. Typically that hole is drilled into sheet metal like a firewall. The raw edges of the metal can chafe or dig into the wiring or even an air line, and the snap bushing will protect it. Once the snap bushing is slid through your pre-drilled hole, the locks here will help hold it in place and the face of the grommet will be on the other side of the firewall, so we'll have part of the grommet on each side holding it in position. When drilling it out, you're going to open it up to approximately a 9/16 hole.
That makes the inside diameter 7/16 and the outside overall is 21/32. The grommet itself is 13/32 thick. Our grommet is typically used in areas where there's not a lot of heat, but it will hold up to approximately 257 degrees Fahrenheit. Now with the hole drilled out, we'll go ahead and take our snap bushing and install it. Put it in the hole, push it into place, and it locks into position. We're now ready to route our wiring, air line, or whatever you need to route through the protected hole.
There you have it for the Spectro Snap Bushing, part number SWC8055.

It's a good one. This prevents the wire from scraping the edge of the metal hole causing wire breakage. The only thing is the drilled hole requires a drill bit larger than 1/2", otherwise you have to expand the hole using the sides of the bit. It took me a while with trial and error. I have a good collection of drill bits but unfortunately the largest doesn't go beyond 1/2", and I didn't realize that until trying to fit the grommet inside the hole. By that time, I didn't feel like to go out to just get the right sized drill bit. Just wish they make a grommet that fits the 1/2" drill hole. It's a great product.
The only problem I had was having to buy a 11/16" drill bit. All the parts worked great!
Bought it. Never arrived. Package says it's in there but nothing. Complete rip off.
I ordered a couple of fenders and other small hardware for a camp trailer I’m building. I bought enough to qualify for free shipping. The order went through very quickly and the package arrived two days earlier than promised! All was correct with the order. No damage. Great service.
Got everything I ordered quickly. Installed everything and referred to some of the trailer install videos, which were a big help. Towed my camper for the first time the past weekend!
I had a great experience. Got the product with no problems.
Excellent reaction time in getting products processed and shipped.
Thanks etrailer.com
A way to protect wiring from shorting. Easier to use than a rubber grommet.
Worked great
It protects the wires very well. I added some silicone sealant to keep the critters out
