LondonShisha Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 The rubber grommet on my Nammor hose has come apart, and I was wondering what the best solution is to fix it. I was thinking of using some silicone sealant (stuff used for bathrooms) but not sure if that is a safe thing to do!

garykainz Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Mine's been like this for a while. I just jam it all together and it stays unless I tug on the handle. I've thought about gluing it, but never had the motivation to figure out the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I had thought the mouth tips on those were removable. If its still leaking, just wrap some electrical tape around the gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Use a bowl grommet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonShisha Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 The mouthpiece is removable but the rubber grommet was originally glued in to the hose, which has now come off. I usually do jam it in, but it comes loose quite easily. If I was to glue it back in, whats the safest one to use? I might try the electrical tape idea to see if that works as well.

r1v3th3ad Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 silicone caulk should do the trick...I've had this happen with both of my nammors...I've just been too lazy to do a permanent fix, I wrapped duct tape around the grommet to make a tight seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaking Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 you can probably buy a hot glue gun at your local crafts shop for around 4 bucks and it most likely comes with a couple sticks of glue. Make sure you get the "high temp" gun. Its how I fixed mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I agree with Ryno and Mitchard.... electrical tape wrapped around the grommet, then shove it in. What I did on my modified Nammor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonShisha Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Tried the electrical tape fix and it works great! I might opt for a more permanent fix at a later date - the hot glue idea sounds good. Do you guys take out the grommet before rinsing the hose, to stop the tape from getting soggy?
