Abstract:
1. An electrical conduit ground assembly for electrically and environmentally shielding an electric cable that inserts into a junction box via a through-hole, said assembly comprising: an adapter flange having an internally threaded proximate end, a midsection, and an externally threaded distal end, said midsection having an externally threaded mezzanine and a hexagonal seat that radially extends beyond said mezzanine, said distal end being insertable into the through-hole; a first annular gasket for insertion downstream into said proximate end, said first gasket having frustum and cylinder portions; a first annular washer for insertion downstream into said proximate end and disposal on said first gasket; a slip-ring for insertion downstream into said proximate end and disposal on said first washer; a second annular washer for insertion downstream into said proximate end and disposal on said slip-ring; an annular ground adapter for electrically connecting the cable and the annular conduit, said adapter being insertable between said first and second washers and securable by said slip-ring with the cable installed in the junction box; a second annular gasket having an annular shaft and a circular brim that radially extends from a brim end that faces said second annular washer; a gland nut for screwing into said proximate end of said adapter flange, said gland nut having a hexagonal proximate end and an externally threaded distal end, said annular shaft of said second annular gasket being insertable into said gland nut from said threaded distal end; and first and second lock-nuts, said first lock-nut for screwing onto said mezzanine and abut said landing, said second lock-nut for screwing onto said distal end of said adapter flange.
