ABSTRACT:
A conduit connector assembly which receives an end of a conduit carrying electrical wires includes a sleeve, a spring clip and a retaining spring. The retaining spring and the spring clip are each coupled to the sleeve. The spring clip is disposed within an interior passage of the sleeve and has a resiliently flexible body and a leg having a gripping end portion. The gripping end has a configuration for gripping and fitting partially about the conduit so as to center the grip end of the spring clip body on the conduit. The retaining spring includes a leg extending into the sleeve and a body contacting the outer surface of the spring clip to hold the spring clip in position and apply a biasing tension of the gripping end of the leg against the conduit.
