Described is a fastener assembly for coupling a tube via a strap to an opening formed in a component. The fastener assembly includes a lock pin having a shank with a head and a base structure having a grommet portion. The shank includes a lock tab. The head includes a fixed planar portion coupled to the shank and at least one wing portion coupled to the fixed planar portion via a hinge. The head includes an installation indicator positioned over at least a portion of each of the fixed planar portion and at least one wing portion. The grommet portion defines a grommet opening and a pair of legs resiliently coupled to the grommet portion and configured to couple with the opening. The grommet opening is configured to receive and secure at least a portion of the shank. A first leg of the pair of legs includes a flex leg feature formed therein and resiliently coupled thereto, the flex leg feature defining a positioning edge. The lock tab engages with the positioning edge to secure the lock pin relative to the base structure in a part-in-assembly (PIA) position.
