Where can I get a grommet big enough, Ive tried advanced auto, pep boys, lowes, home depot, rexel, and of all places the guys at nappa looked at me like I had two heads. Does anyone know where I can get a 1.5" grommet?

i got mine from a buddy thats works for a heating and air company. If you have an HVAC specific supply store you could check there or call a company and ask if you could buy one

Thats ironic, my father has an HVAC business and were both mechanics. I'll try asking at a supply house.

You can split a hose down the middle too and turn it into a makeshift grommet if you can't find the right size.
