ABSTRACT:
A two-piece, all plastic connector for connecting a flexible conduit to an electrical fixture comprising a threaded connector cap having an extending wedging ring and a mating threaded connector body having a deflection ramp. The connector body is secured to an electrical fixture and the connector cap is loosely threadably engaged with the connector body. The conduit is inserted through an opening in the connector cap until it abuts the bottom of an annular cavity in the connector body. The cap is then tightly screwed onto the body such that the wedging ring is cammed, by the deflection ramp, into engagement with the conduit to securely grip the conduit. This arrangement provides a liquid-tight seal.
