When it comes to protecting glass or metal pipes, end preventing anything from coming out of them, the rubber grommet slider is a superior tool for that purpose. Many industries rely on systems of pipes connected which distribute liquids or gasses. One example is the decorations made from glass. The people blowing inside the tube have to be completely intact because if there is a slight hole, the efficiency drops dramatically. Having leaks is a large problem there, so the usage of these grommet sliders is really important. In addition, you can find the rubber sliders on items that many people use, for example, bongs.
The rubber grommet sliders are cylindrical objects that serve the purpose of creating a compact zone on the tube they are inserted on, preventing anything from coming out of them. Unlike the regular grommets, which are meant to be placed inside a hole, these grommets go on top of another cylindrical object. They are completely made out of rubber, which allows them to obtain the sealing effect. Depending on the situation you are in, we can make these rubber grommet sliders with a different synthetic polymer so they suit your project better. For example, if you need them to withstand heat better, we can make them out of silicone.
We can achieve the sealing effect only if the grommets are the correct dimension. For that purpose, you will have to be precise with the measuring of the tubes. It is best to measure the tubes in a metric system because it is more precise, and there are fewer chances for a mistake. They have to fit snug, so it is better to have them smaller and have problems with sliding them on position, than getting bigger ones. Installing them is pretty easy, all you will have to do is to lube the area, and slide the rubber grommet to the portion that you want to secure.
