Patent ID: 7976070

Claim:
An electrical coupling assembly comprising: a coupling body, a bore extending through said coupling body and defining opposed end portions terminating in opposed end openings, a metal conduit fitted into each of said end portions, a radially outwardly extending flange circumscribing said coupling body between said end openings, an internal shoulder within said bore forming a stop, each of said opposed end portions having a first linear length and a second linear length separated by a stepped shoulder, said first linear length of each of said opposed end portions being an internal surface sized and shaped to receive an end portion of said electrical metal conduit, and said second linear length being an internal surface which diverges toward the associated end opening, a 360 degree split compression ring fitted onto an end portion of each of said metal conduits, a sealing gland fitted onto an end portion of each of said metal conduits, and a fastening nut adapted to be fitted onto an end portion of each of said metal conduits for securing said metal conduits to a corresponding end portion of said coupling body whereby said associated sealing gland is wedged into sealing relationship with its corresponding second linear length as said compression ring is compressed onto its associated conduit to positively secure and electrically ground said associated connected conduit as the fastening nut is tightened onto its associated end portion of said coupling body.
