Method for installing a conduit in a liquid-tight fitting
Abstract:
A method for installing a conduit in a liquid-tight fitting includes inserting a coated gland nut configured for insertion onto a conduit, wherein the gland nut includes an outer surface and internal threads. A grounding ring is placed onto external threads of a tubular fitting body having a coated intermediate portion, such that an inner surface of the grounding ring is conductively coupled to the external threads of the fitting body. The outer surface of the grounding ring includes a ground wire engaging portion projecting therefrom. The internal threads of the gland nut are loosely coupled to the external threads of the fitting body. The grounding ring is rotated to a desired position relative to the fitting body. The gland nut is tightened to the fitting body, such that the coated outer surface of the gland nut and the coated intermediate portion of the fitting body compressingly engage the grounding ring therebetween.
