pipe grommet/pipe sealing collar


Explanation:
"genomföring" can mean either the hole going through something (in this case the roof and walls) or the, often rubber, component used to fit into such a hole.

See for instance, this document in which a "genomföringssats" is called a "grommet kit".
http://www.vp-autoparts.com/Downloads/amazonkatalog.pdf

A larger "genomföring" might be given another name such as a "sealing collar" as in the Volvo part here.

Also look at the description in Wikipedia of "grommet".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grommet
"Grommets are generally flared or collared on each side to keep them in place, and are often made of metal, plastic, or rubber."
This grommet has a "krage" or "collar" as indicated above.
This is essentially what is being described here.

pipe duct


Explanation:
I thought from past experience that a "genomföring" was a duct - or am I confusing it with something else?
