Hi,
Was putting a circuit in an electrical panel, and tried to get the
smallest knock-out out, but of course the largest (2"?) came out. So now
what do I do? Go get a 2" connector for a single wire or is there a
device that can close off this huge hole?
Thanks!
Sam

A big wad of duct tape around the wire will plug the hole.

I'm trying to think but nothing happens.........



I did this and just laid the knockout back in and secured it with a
couple dabs of epoxy.


I have pushed knock outs back in by turning a knock out punch backwards
so the flat sides are able to press the KO back in and it seems to be
just a stout as the original state. It works best for a KO that has
only been pushed slightly out.
