A retainer ( 10 ) holds elongated members ( 12 ), such as hoses, pipes, wiring, etc, has a first arm ( 30 ) which extends from one side portion ( 24 ) of a base ( 20 ) and a second arm ( 32 ) which extends from another side portion ( 26 ) of the base. The arms ( 30 and 32 ) have end portions ( 46 and 50 ) which are spaced apart from each other when an elongated member ( 12 ) extends through an opening ( 14 ) in the base ( 20 ) and is disposed in engagement with a connector or bottom portion ( 22 ) of the base. At least one of the end portions of one of the arms ( 30 and 32 ) is movable away from the connector portion ( 22 ) of the base ( 20 ), under the influence of force transmitted from the elongated member ( 12 ), to effect engagement of the end portion ( 46 ) of one of the arms ( 30 ) with an opening ( 76 ) formed in the other arm.
