Modification of Grommets
KoldLok Extended Grommets can be modified to seal large and unique openings in the
raised floor. The KoldLok 60” Extended Grommet will come complete with a removable
short filament brush (support brush), a removable long filament brush and the metal extru-
sion. The metal extrusion and brushes may be cut to a desired length.
*IMPORTANT: Data center best practices indicate that metal should not be cut within the
raised floor environment in order to protect equipment from harmful particulates. How-
ever, quick clean up of any debris or loose particulates is always recommended.
1. Cut the metal extrusion with an appropriate cutting tool. File any rough or sharp
edges.
2. Measure and cut both long and short filament brushes with bolt cutters. Crimp the
ends of the channels with pliers or a vice to prevent bristles from falling out.
3. Bend brush filament frames slightly, in order to secure them in the metal extrusion
channels.
4. Use a hammer (or mallet) to maneuver the brush into the metal extrusion so that all
components are flush. NOTE: Short filament brush should be installed in the bottom
extrusion channel in all installations.
