ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for providing a substantially fluid-tight connection of a conduit to an electrical box or other apertured bulkhead. A substantially tubular hollow connector body has a front section and a rear section, with the front section having one or more locking tabs for mounting the connector body in the aperture. A substantially hollow sealing member having proximal and distal ends is telescopingly connected over the connector body in non-rotatable condition, and may include an outwardly extending flange adjacent its proximal end. The sealing member also includes a tapered sealing bore for receiving the end of the conduit and, in some applications, includes a plurality of inwardly oriented deburring protuberances near the distal end of that bore. The assembly further includes a substantially hollow sealing sleeve telescopingly surmounting at least a portion of the sealing member. The assembly can be snapped into locking engagement and sealed about the aperture totally from the outside of the bulkhead.
