    Grommets or plugs

    Hi All,

    I need to source something to block holes, around 10mm, in ductwork.
    I have been using tapered PVC plugs of the sort you find protecting nipples on brake cylinders but cannot find a reasonable price for a small amount (approx 1000)
    If anyone buys them in bulk and is willing to sell some, I would be grateful.
    Blind grommets used in electrical junction boxes would work but the smallest I can find is 16mm which is a bit too big.

    TIA

    PS
    Don't forget all the jokes about nipple protectors. It wouldn't be YD without them.
    Paul.

    Human beings were invented by water as a device for transporting itself from one place to another.

    If God had intended us to breathe underwater, he would have given us larger bank balances.

    Go here

    They start at 3.5mm hole size and go right past 10mm, so no probs finding
    one that fit. They'll also send you a range of samples, so you can try
    before you order.

    Thanks DDD, that's what I use them for as well.
    Thanks Terry H but they have the same minimum £30 charge as the others that I have found. We don't really want that many.
