ABSTRACT:
A connector fitting by which corrugated conduit can be quickly connected to an electrical box. The fitting includes a pair of hingedly interconnected semi-cylindrical collars. Two spaced, box engaging projections are carried on, and extend axially from each of the semi-cylindrical collars, and the inner side of each semi-cylindrical collar is grooved to mate with and engage corrugations carried exteriorly on a corrugated conduit to be connected to an electrical box by the use of the fitting. Each of the box engaging projections includes a wedge shaped free end portion and a web portion by which the wedge shaped free end portion is connected to one of the respective collars. Each wedge-shaped end portion, its associated web portion and the collar to which the web portion is connected define an arcuate channel or relief for receiving and engaging the portion of the wall of an electrical box which surrounds an opening into which the connector fitting is snapped.
