Abstract
A one-piece grommet having a central elongated tubular portion surrounded by a cylindrical rim portion. One end of the rim portion is formed with a continuous laterally extending mounting flange spaced from an annular detent shoulder defining an annular groove for securing the grommet in a panel opening. A thin-walled resilient frusto-conical web portion connects the rim portion to the tubular portion. The web small diameter end forms a juncture with one end of the rim portion in the transverse plane of the annular groove while the web large diameter end forms a juncture with the rim portion other end at a predetermined axial distance from the transverse plane. This offset web arrangement allows the tubular portion to be positioned at any desired angle relative to the panel while maintaining the grommet annular groove in sealed engagement with the panel opening.
