ABSTRACT:
A conduit connector assembly for attachment of a conduit carrying electrical wires to an electrical junction box includes a fitting body, an end stop grommet, and a spring clip. The fitting body has open first and second opposite ends and an interior bore for receiving therein an end portion of a conduit. The end stop grommet includes a grommet body having an interior cavity with open first and second end portions, the grommet body being inserted within the interior bore of the fitting body. The conduit is received and held within the interior bore of the fitting body and within the interior cavity of the grommet body. The fitting body is inserted through an opening in the junction box and is connected thereto. The grommet body is secured within the interior bore of the fitting body and has an outer flange making contact with the fitting body for preventing the grommet body from being inserted into the fitting body beyond a predetermined position therein. The grommet body also has an end wall having a round passage therethrough to prevent the conduit from entering farther into the junction box but permits wiring from the conduit to pass into the junction box. The spring clip retains the conduit within the fitting body and cooperates with the fitting body for connection of the assembly to the junction box.
