Claim:
A liquid-tight connector comprising: a tubular body including a leading and a trailing end; said tubular body including a central flange having a leading and a trailing wall; a ferrule extending from said trailing wall, said ferrule including a smooth exterior surface; a tubular nose portion extending from said leading wall, said nose portion including an outer periphery; a depression around the outer periphery of said nose portion; a scaling ring disposed on said nose portion adjacent said leading wall; a fastener secured to said nose portion, said fastener securing said sealing ring against said leading wall, said fastener capable of engaging and securing said nose portion to an aperture in a panel in a manner that said sealing ring is compressed and deformed so that the area between said nose portion and said aperture is filled with said sealing ring thereby creating a water tight seal between said nose portion and said panel; a tubular retainer body extending from and secured to said trailing wall, said retainer body concentric with and of a greater diameter than said ferrule, said retainer body including inward directed tangs extending within the inner periphery of said retainer body with the free ends of said inward directed tangs oriented toward said leading end of said tubular body; and a conduit-accepting channel defined as the area between said ferrule and said retainer body, said channel capable of accepting a metallic or non-metallic conduit and creating a water-tight seal between said conduit and said ferrule.
