Abstract
A grommet or the like comprised of elastomeric material and having a passage formed therein is placed onto a mandrel which serves to resiliently expand the cross-sectional area of the passage; the mandrel while holding the passage to the expanded cross-sectional area places the grommet or the like in an area of cold temperature to effectively freeze the grommet or the like and thereby stabilize the expanded cross-sectional area by, through such freezing, eliminating the resilient characteristics of the elastomeric material; the stabilized grommet or the like, removed from the mandrel, is then easily slid onto a related cooperating carrier wherein the outer configuration and size of the carrier is less than that of the stabilized expanded cross-sectional area.
