Abstract:
A self-securing insert for electrical conduit junction boxes, comprising:a) a generally cylindrical portion slightly longer than a tubular projection of an electrical conduit junction box into which tubular projection the self-securing insert is to be used; b) an outer flanged rim on one end of the self-securing insert to prevent it from sliding trough the tubular projection; c) an opposite end of the self-securing insert having a plurality of end portions separated by splits aligned with the length of the cylinder, to allow the end portions to flex together for insertion of the self-securing insert into the tubular projection, d) a plurality of split flanged outer rim portions on the end portions to prevent the self-securing insert from being pulled out of the tubular projection without flexing the end portions together; e) a plurality of inner flanged rim portions on the end portions, the inner flanged rim portions being sized to fit between corrugation rings on a length of electrical conduit; f) a pop-out disposable end plug with a conical face for spreading out the end portions upon a length of electrical conduit pushing the pop-out disposable end plug through the self-securing insert.
