Patent attributes
A liquidtight conduit fitting has a body with an end wall with an opening formed therein; a hollow threaded nipple attached to the end wall, for passage into an electrical box, the body having an outer shell extending from the end wall in a direction opposite the nipple, the outer shell defining an open-ended chamber; a ferrule positioned within the outer shell, a foam gasket positioned within the open-ended chamber adjacent the end wall and around the ferrule, and a conduit locking device having tabs protruding inwardly toward the outer surface of the ferrule so as to contact a conduit positioned around the ferrule, terminating ends of the tabs forming a helical-type pattern so that a conduit positioned around the ferrule is securely held in place by the tabs and so that the conduit can be removed from the conduit fitting by rotating the conduit fitting relative to the conduit.
