Push-In Pipe and Tubing Grommets
Press these flexible grommets into holes and their tapered inner wall will expand when pipe or tubing is inserted to hold them snugly in place. They're often used for routing applications on metal, plastic, and fiberglass tanks. Made of plastic, these grommets are chemical resistant and won't dry out and become brittle when exposed to UV rays. All have a hard rating to withstand high levels of impact. They can be used outdoors.
