ABSTRACT:
An electrical conduit to junction box connection system is designed connect conduit to junction boxes. The system incorporates a compression nut and a body. The body includes a box engagement region, a nut engagement region, and a conduit engagement region. The box engagement region includes a radially extending leading and follower tab, a root surface, a tab centering ledge, and a tab centering flank. The nut engagement region includes a nut engagement region thread that cooperates with the compression nut. The conduit engagement region includes a conduit compression system. During installation, the leading tab is inserted into the knockout. An edge of the knockout is positioned in contact with the root surface. The body is reoriented which positions the follower tab inside the junction box. The compression nut is manipulated to compress the junction box between the compression nut and the leading and follower tabs.
