  • Patent number: 4864080
    Abstract: A terminator fitting useful for connecting corrugated tubing to an electrical outlet box and including a cylindrical collar having first and second ends and a rib projecting radially inwardly from the collar for engaging an external rib on corrugated tubing placed within the collar. The collar carries circumferentially-spaced, axially projecting projections on one of its ends, with each such projection including a wedge-shaped free end portion. Each wedge-shaped end portion is joined to the first end of the collar by a web portion. The web portion, free end portion and collar define a groove for engaging the side wall of an outlet box when the arcuate projections are forced through an opening in the box to secure the fitting in the box. A plurality of blocking flanges are included in the terminator fitting with each blocking flange extending in a circumferential direction from a lateral edge of one of the wedge-shaped free end portions.

  • Patent number: 4647074
    Abstract: A system of flexible conduit and fittings useful particularly, though not exclusively, for conveying, supporting and connecting electrical service cables and wires. The system includes a corrugated, synthetic resin conduit which is flexible and mechanically strong, connector sleeves for clampingly engaging sections of the corrugated conduit in end-to-end relation, and hanger sleeves for clampingly engaging the conduit and suspending it from a wall or similar surface. A novel electrical outlet box is provided and includes internally toothed conduit-receiving inlet fittings for securely engaging an end of the conduits in inlets to the box.
