1. A wrap bracket assembly comprising:

  • a single-piece bracket having a base that is adapted to be attached to a surface and a clamp extending from the base and that is adapted to wrap around an elongated member, wherein the clamp defines an aperture, and wherein the clamp has first and second axially spaced side edge surfaces that extend around the elongated member; and

    a molded grommet forming a split tubular body that defines a substantially cylindrical cavity, the body having an axially extending opening through which the elongated member is inserted into the cavity, wherein the body has a pair of flanges, each of which having a flange surface that engages one of the first and second side edge surfaces to nest the body of the grommet within the clamp with the flanges outside of the clamp, the grommet having a projection extending radially outward from the body that is received in the aperture to circumferentially align the grommet with the bracket;

    wherein the projection further comprises an oblong projection with a tapered head that has a base extending beyond a width of the aperture for retaining the grommet to the bracket, and wherein the clamp of the single-piece bracket is configured to wrap around an outside surface of the grommet and engage with itself to secure the grommet within the clamp.
