ABSTRACT:
A kit of cord trip components which when applied to an electrical cord provide a strain-relieved, water-tight cord grip. A body having a bore with a tapered end wall and external thread portion receives a deformable bushing having a matching tapered portion. An assembly device having a second tapered end wall and an internal threaded portion receives a grip device having a plurality of displaceable fingers. When the assembly device is threaded onto the body, the deformable bushing is compressed upon a cord inserted in the cord grip to provide a water-tight seal and some strain relief while the displaceable fingers of the grip device securely grip the cord to provide the major portion of the strain relief. By changing the bushing and grip device, to ones having different diameter bores, and provided with the body and assembly device, the cord grip can accommodate a wide range of cord diameters.
