The Ergotron LX Grommet Mount Kit (98-034) provides an alternative mounting method for compatible Ergotron LX monitor arms. Designed for installation through a suitable hole in a desk or worksurface, it allows a monitor arm to be positioned away from the desk edge, helping users make better use of their available workspace.
Constructed from sturdy steel, this mounting kit provides a stable attachment point for compatible single-monitor and Dual Direct monitor arms. Its white finish complements compatible Ergotron LX accessories, while the included hardware supports a straightforward installation when used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Key Features
- Flexible mounting location: Allows compatible LX monitor arms to be installed through a suitable worksurface hole.
- Durable steel construction: Provides a sturdy mounting base for supported monitor arm configurations.
- Broad LX compatibility: Works with selected LX Desk Mount Arm and LX Dual Direct Arm models.
- Installation hardware included: Includes a grommet plate, bolt, wing nut, T-wrench, and cable ties.
- Long-term support: Backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
Compatible Ergotron LX Monitor Arms
The 98-034 is compatible with selected models in the Ergotron LX range, including:
- LX Desk Mount Arm: 45-241-026 and 45-241-224.
- LX Dual Direct Arm: 45-489-026, 45-489-216, 45-489-231, and 45-489-224.

Compatibility varies by model. The grommet mount is included with some LX arm configurations and sold separately for others. It is not compatible with LX Arm models that use the low-profile clamp, including 45-626-224, 45-626-216, 45-627-224, and 45-627-216. Confirm the exact monitor arm part number before ordering.
Worksurface Requirements
The mounting kit is designed to pass through a suitable worksurface hole measuring approximately 0.31–2 inches (8–50 mm) in diameter. The worksurface can be up to 2.25 inches (57 mm) thick according to the current Ergotron product specification. Older product documentation may list a different maximum thickness, so consult the installation guide for the specific kit and mounting configuration.
Before installation, check the worksurface thickness, hole size, mounting clearance, and the weight limits of the compatible monitor arm. Follow Ergotron's installation instructions to ensure the mount is secured correctly.

Installation and Compatibility Considerations
This kit is a mounting accessory rather than a complete monitor arm. The supported monitor size and weight depend on the LX arm being installed. Ensure the worksurface is suitable for the mounting method and that the selected arm's load limits are observed.
For installations requiring a different mounting arrangement, verify the appropriate Ergotron accessory for the exact LX arm model. Do not assume that all LX arms share the same grommet mounting hardware.
DC Supplies Product Note
The Ergotron 98-034 includes the grommet mounting components listed in the package contents. The monitor arm, monitor, and desk or worksurface are separate products unless specifically stated otherwise by the seller. Please confirm the arm model and mounting-hole dimensions before placing an order.
