What are Metal Grommets?

Metal Grommets are metal rings that are inserted into a hole made through another material. They may be used to reinforce the hole, to shield something from the sharp edges of the hole, or both. Small grommets are also called eyelets especially when used in clothing or crafting. When using eyelets for crafting, they are generally used decoratively. When used in sailing and various other applications they are called cringles.

If metal or another hard material has a hole made in it, the hole may have sharp edges. Electrical wires, cord, rope, lacings, or other soft vulnerable material passing through the hole can become abraded or cut, resulting in damage. Rubber, plastic or plastic coated metal grommets are each used to avoid this. The smooth and sometimes soft inner surface of the grommet shields the wire from damage.

Advantages of Metal Grommets

The most important factor of a grommet is its quality. It should be strong enough to serve its purpose. Different metals are used to make grommets. Metal Grommets are good option as they are stout and do not break easily

In Metal Grommets, there are different types. The two of them that are mostly known are the eye and ring type available in sizes 6 to 15 inclusive, with inner diameters from 3/4 inch to 2 inches. The other is the spur type. It comes in sizes 0 to 6, inclusive, with inner diameters from 1/4 to 3/4 inch.

The grommet-inserting punches and dies are available in sets in the same sizes as the grommets; that is, from 0 to 15. Use the same size set as the size of grommet.

The proper way to insert the spur type of grommet is to push the eyelet part of the grommet through the hole in the required fabric. Place the eyelet on the die and the spur over the eyelet. The punch fits inside the eyelet and, when struck with a hammer, curls the edge of the eyelet down over the spur. Do not pound too hard on the punch because that causes the grommet to cut through the fabric and later it may pull out.

The eyelet and ring type of grommet is especially for awnings and sails. Properly used, this is the best of all types. The ring part is sewn to the canvas the same as the handmade grommet. Then the eyelet is placed in the ring and set with the punch and die.

The grommets are available in brass, aluminum, stainless steel and various other types of metals as per the use. When brass is used in metal grommets, it provides the highest level of strength and resistance to rust and corrosion. They are available in a variety of different finishes, including nickel, copper, and black.
