Abstract
A wire protection grommet is constructed for installation in a wire pull opening extending between a preset and the cell of a cellular raceway. The grommet includes a central opening extending between the preset and the raceway cell and which has defines a wire pull strain relief. The grommet is constructed to lockingly engage into the wire pull opening so that it is not displaced during use. The distal end of the grommet is weighted so that the grommet self-orients itself in the opening during installation. The grommet also includes a wire storage section around which excess wiring can be wrapped. Hooks are provided for retaining the excess wire on the wire storage section.
