ABSTRACT:
The conduit assembly includes two mateable generally cylindrical conduit connector bodies with a longitudinal internal bore extending therethrough. The connector bodies include a locking surface for joining and retaining the bodies together at a desired angle. One connector body is externally threaded and the other provides an external snap-on attachment mechanism. Moreover, a gland nut is provided with an internally threaded surface and a snap-on attachment mechanism. The gland nut is slidably positioned over and attached to the connector bodies via snap-on attachment or screw attachment. The gland nut secures and retains the connector halves together at the desired position.
