Grommets are typically plastic, metal, or rubber rings that are used to reinforce and protect holes from wear and tear. It is imperative to use the correct style of Grommet in every application. For instance, using a rubber grommet in a project where it can be exposed to many chemicals could cause the rubber grommet to deteriorate. Rubber, metal, and fixed plastic grommets are fixed in size. You have to have the right size grommet for the hole it is used in and the seal could be faulty if the grommet isn’t exactly perfect.
Hi-Line offers a Flex Grommet that allows you to customize the size of the grommet needed for the project to ensure every grommet is perfect.
Placing the rubber Grommet into the washer, you can see that an exact size fitting is needed to ensure full functionality.
With Hi-Line’s Flex Grommet offering, you can see how customizable you can make the size of the grommet. You fit the grommet to the project instead of the project fitting the grommet.
The Flex Grommet material not only allows you to customize the size, but also the shape needed. For example, it can be used on the wing spar on the inside of a plane, where the hole might be oblong instead of a perfect circle.
Make your grommets fit your needs instead of fitting the project to the grommet with Hi-Line's Flex Grommet Material.
