Claim 11:
12. A conduit coupling system, comprising:
a conduit coupling adapter comprising a first portion including a first opening and a second portion including a second opening, wherein the first opening is at a first end of the conduit coupling adapter, wherein the first end has an unthreaded exterior surface and an unthreaded interior surface, wherein the second opening is at a second end of the conduit coupling adapter, and wherein a cable-receiving channel is defined between the first opening and the second opening;
a flange defined between the first portion and the second portion of the conduit coupling adapter, wherein the second end of the conduit coupling adapter is disposed within an enclosure opening of an enclosure such that the flange of the conduit coupling adapter rests against an exterior of the enclosure;
wherein the unthreaded exterior surface of the first end of the conduit coupling adapter extends from the first opening to the flange;
wherein the first opening of the first end of the conduit coupling adapter receives an end portion of a conduit terminated at the first and end and the unthreaded interior surface of the first end is adhesively securable to the end portion of the conduit; and
a locknut removably connected to the second end of the conduit coupling adapter such that the conduit coupling adapter is securable to the enclosure to position the locknut within an interior of the enclosure;
wherein the first end of the conduit coupling adapter includes a bonding surface that bonds the conduit to the first opening of the first end of the conduit coupling adapter using an adhesive.
