Where you do buy the black rubber ring for your inlet and outlet of the case?

I mean the case has to have holes for inlet and outlet. To protect the tubing from the edge, many has used the rubber ring that insert in the holes. I wonder where to get them. And what size do they come in?

You can get them pretty much at any hardware store.

You are right, Myco. Though spelled that way, it's a British claymation dog.

They come in many sizes. Just go to the hardware store and ask for a rubber grommet with an ID at least as large as the OD of your tubing. Be sure to find out what size hole it's for before you leave.

I found a pic for you....

I got these for my 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD tubes you have to make sure the ID of the grommit matches the OD of your tube if you know what I mean..



At your convience they usually come in packs of 2.
