Anyone know where i can find rubber grommets that are 1/4 inch for the hole size to run 1/4 inch tube through but also 1/2 inch deep so it will fit into 8 inch sch40 pvc pipe? I have been looking around online and can't seem to find any that deep. I am trying to build a new aero system and need to run hose with misters into the chamber but I need grommets to close off the gap from light and water leaks. I know I could use silicone or something but I want to be able to remove the sprayers as needed. If someone could point me in the right direction or give another suggestion it would be much appreciated. Thanks/

Make one with RTV black silicon from auto parts store. Works for my grow, just not "clean" looking.

Never heard of that stuff before, I might give it a shot if I cannot get grommets. I don' care about clean looking I am just looking for results. I am not one to show off my grow room. Thanks for your suggestion.

If your talking about a reservoir I don't need one i have one, I am just looking for grommets to run 1/4 inch hose through for the sprayers on a system I am working on.

If all else fails I can run the hose through and put some tape over it, just thought maybe there would be some grommets the correct size somewhere.

Yeah, they just don't carry the size I need. I am not sure that anyone even makes them with a 1/4 hole size with a 1/2 inch deep.

Ah I see. Have you thought about a threaded fitting/coupler or something like that. Do you have pics? I know nothing about aero systems but a pic or two might make it easier to figure out what you actually need.
