Abstract
An improved connector for attaching flexible non-metallic liquid tight conduit to electrical devices. The connector is attached to the conduit by a simple twisting action. The invention simplifies the connection task, is easily manufactured in a one piece molding operation, is cheaper to produce than other connectors on the market, creates a water tight fit, resists pull out forces, and does not require the use of a gasket to create a water tight seal.
