ABSTRACT:
A conduit connector assembly which receives an end of a conduit carrying electrical wires includes a fitting body, an end stop grommet and a spring clip. The fitting body and spring clip are provided with inwardly projecting conduit gripping portions having grip ends which are angled relative to a reference plane disposed perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the fitting body so as to make line contact rather than only a point contact with portions of convolutions of the conduit so that greater and more uniformly applied gripping force is produced that will prevent the conduit from being pulled out from the connector assembly.
