The receiving portion has a first end configured to engage the subcomponent, a second end defining threads, and tabs extending radially outward at a position that is between the first and second ends. The cover portion has a hub and a skirt extending radially outward from the hub. The hub is configured to engage the second end of the receiving portion via the threads to secure the second portion to the first portion. The skirt is configured to engage a wall and extend about the keyed-orifice. The tabs and skirt are collectively configured to generate a compression force on the wall to secure the anchor assembly to the wall.
