ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly includes a nut, a first member, a second member, and a third member. The connector assembly is used for coupling a conduit to an electrical device that includes a body having an end with an outer edge and a threaded exterior surface. The nut includes a first angled end, a second threaded end, and an inner cavity between the first angled end and the second threaded end. The nut is configured to be threadably attached to the threaded exterior surface of the body. The first member includes a first edge, a second edge, and is positioned within the cavity and encloses the conduit when the conduit is connected to the body. The second member includes a first edge, a second edge, and is positioned within the cavity and encloses the conduit when the conduit is connected to the body. The third member includes a first edge, a second edge, and is positioned within the cavity and encloses the conduit when the conduit is connected to the body. When the nut is threadably attached to the body, the first edge of the first member slidably mates with the first angled end of the nut, the second edge of the first member is in contact with the first edge of the second member, the second edge of the second member is in contact with the first edge of the third member, and the second edge of the third member slidably mates with the outer edge of the end of the body.
