FAQs

What is the purpose of a Top Hat Rubber Grommet in an irrigation system?

Top hat rubber grommets are used in conjunction with take-off fittings, tubing and barbed irrigation fittings to provide a seal around the fitting through a wall in a plastic container.

Aqua Gardening stocks Top Hat Grommets in the following sizes:

- 6mm internal diameter (use holesaw size 10mm)

- 13mm internal diameter (use holesaw size 16mm)

How do I install a Top Hat Grommet in my irrigation system?

To install a Top Hat Grommet, follow these steps:

1. Drill a hole according to the corresponding holesaw size for your grommet.

2. Clean any burrs from the drilled hole.

3. Insert the top hat grommet into the hole.

4. Push the tube or barbed fitting through the grommet.

Are there any tips for ensuring a better seal with Top Hat Grommets?

Yes, for additional leak protection, we recommend applying some silicone around the rim of the grommet before inserting it into the hole. If you have a hard rubber grommet, knead the rubber in your hands before inserting it into the hole and connecting to it. This helps ensure a better seal and easier installation.
