ABSTRACT:
A liquid tight connector for terminating one end of an elongate electrical conductor includes a connector body having a rearward conduit receiving end, an opposed forward end and a central bore therethrough. A gland nut is movably secured to the rearward conduit receiving end of the body for securing the end of the conduit thereto and a sealing ring is interposed between the rearward conduit receiving end of the body and the gland nut and is supported within a receiving chamber defined therebetween. The sealing ring has a generally O-shaped cross section and is formed of resiliently deformable material. The gland nut includes an internal frusto-conical surface, which simultaneously urges the sealing ring radially inward toward the conduit and forward toward the rearward conduit receiving end of the body so as to deformably fill the receiving chamber upon the movable securement of the gland nut onto the body.
