ABSTRACT:
An improved one-piece connector clip for securing a helically grooved flexible electrical conduit within generally round apertures in a junction box is disclosed. The body of the clip comprises a plurality of generally flat sides and is provided with tabs which engage the helical groove in the conduit to prevent the conduit from being pulled out of the clip and to electrically interconnect the clip and the conduit. A collar on the inner end of the clip encloses the end of the conduit to protect the wires contained therein against any burrs which may be present on the end of the conduit. Resiliently deflectable retaining arms and flanges clampingly engage a wall of the junction box to hold the clip and conduit in place and to electrically interconnect the clip and the junction box. In one embodiment of the invention, the body of the clip has a generally square cross-sectional configuration, in another embodiment the body has a generally truncated equilateral triangular shape, while in still another embodiment the body has a generally hexagonal shape.
