Abstract:
A fitting for securing electrical metallic tubing to a panel comprising:a hollow, tubular, electrically conductive electrical connector including a leading end, a trailing end, a central bore, and a fastening arrangement on said leading end for fastening said connector to an aperture in a panel; a resilient, electrically conductive, cylindrical-shaped split ring secured within said trailing end, said split ring having a longitudinal axis there through; a securing arrangement on said trailing end for resisting removal of said split ring from said connector; a plurality of locking tangs lanced longitudinally from said split ring, said locking tangs bent inwardly from said split ring thereby forming a trailing end cantilevered from said split ring and a free leading end; said locking tangs bent inwardly to a smaller diameter than the outer diameter of an electrical metallic tube that said fitting will be used in conjunction with; and arcuate edges on said leading ends of said locking tangs, said arcuate edges capable of digging into said tube.
