Newco 500038 SIL035 Aftermarket Silicone Grommet w/o Slit

The Newco 500038 SIL035 Silicone Grommet is a precision-engineered aftermarket beverage equipment part designed to maintain air-tight and liquid-tight seals in high-temperature environments. Specifically utilized in commercial coffee brewers and liquid chocolate dispensers, this 0.60-inch silicone grommet features a "no slit" design to ensure a continuous barrier against moisture ingress and pressure loss. As a direct replacement for the Newco 500038, this component is commonly found on tank lid assemblies, providing a secure interface for thermistor probes and temperature sensors in the Newco Bistro series and 20:1 series brewers. The heavy-duty food-grade silicone construction is resilient against thermal cycling, preventing the degradation often seen in standard rubber seals. For technicians performing routine maintenance or tank repairs, upgrading to this durable silicone grommet prevents vapor leaks that can lead to scale buildup and electrical component failure.

• Ensures a high-integrity, 100% liquid-tight seal for temperature probes and thermistors in pressurized tanks.
• Constructed from high-performance heat-resistant silicone to withstand constant exposure to near-boiling water.
• Features a no-slit design for maximum structural integrity and contamination prevention.
• Optimized for compatibility with the Newco 500038 and SIL035 specifications found in HVACR and commercial beverage systems.

What is the difference between a slit and no-slit grommet?
A no-slit grommet like the SIL035 requires the probe to be inserted through the material for a tighter, more permanent seal, whereas slit versions allow for easier installation over pre-existing wiring at the cost of slight sealing efficiency.

Is this grommet compatible with other commercial brewers?
While designed primarily as a Newco replacement part for the Bistro LCD series and 20:1 brewers, it is frequently used in commercial foodservice equipment that utilizes a standard .060-inch mounting profile for probes.

Can this be used in steam-heavy environments?
Yes, the silicone material is specifically selected for its ability to resist steam and high-humidity conditions without hardening or cracking over time.
