Claim:
A one-piece liquid-tight connector member comprising: a tubular ferrule having a free end and a fixed end, a sleeve body surrounding said ferrule in spaced relationship to form a channel for securing both metallic and non-metallic, liquid-tight conduit, said sleeve body having one end joined to said fixed end of said ferrule to form a closed end for said channel and an opposite end portion adjacent said free end of said ferrule forming an open end for said channel, said channel being tapered toward said closed end in order to compress non-metallic conduit and metallic, liquid-tight conduit, thereby providing exceptional sealing capacity, said sleeve body having a flexible strap section extending partially around said ferrule, said strap section being formed by a semi-circular slot in said sleeve body and having a fixed end and a free end that can be drawn toward an adjacent edge of said sleeve body to clamp a conduit in said channel, said strap section including a radially inwardly extending rib, said rib being engageable with the conduit.
