The sleeve is adapted to be inserted through a pre-drilled opening in a barrier, such as a wall or floor. The sleeve has a tubular body with an outwardly extending annular flange at one end of the body, the sleeve defining a bore. The flange defines elongated, arc-shaped slots between the tubular body and the periphery of the flange for optionally receiving at least one fastener to fix the sleeve to the barrier during installation. A plurality of legs, having outwardly extending latches, extend from the end the tubular body opposite the flange for locking the sleeve to the barrier.
