Round Grommets
Square Grommet, Round Wire Grommet, Round Wire Grommet w/ Brush
Determine the location of the grommet as indicated by the elevation.
Confirm measurement of grommet.
Measure the location of the grommet.
Cut the hole for the accessory.
Dual Grommet Only: Cut the grommet to size according to the material thickness
Dry fit the grommet.
Vacuum all shavings on the material, under the material, and around the system.
Install the grommet.
Remove cut material from the hole saw.
Demonstrate to the customer how to snap out the center cap.
Rectangular Grommets
Single Wall Outlet Grommet, Double Wall Outlet Grommet, 1/4” Grommet
Determine the location of the grommet based on outlet location
Transfer measurements to the material being cut. Extend the marks to create a large intersection
Place the grommet at the intersection to confirm cut placement. Trace the bottom edge of the grommet.
Confirm centerpoint measurements to outlet and grommet placement (measure twice, cut once)
Cut the hole for the grommet.
