Abstract
A resilient grommet assembly useful in isolating the transfer of acoustical energy across structural connections includes a first annular portion provided with a central tubular projection in concentric deployment within a first peripheral edge and a second, mating annular portion provided with a second peripheral edge, the first edge extending to a depth greater than the second edge. The tubular projection is then inserted into a circular hole in a hanger strap and thereafter into a central opening in the second portion. A fastener then compresses the portions against the hanger and since the depth of the first edge is greater than the second edge the first edge is collapsed to a greater extent to further drive the tubular projection into the second portion.
