A conduit assembly, such as an electrical conduit assembly, includes a flexible convoluted tube having a non-conductive fluoropolymer interior and a conductive carbon exterior that decreases the electrical resistance of the tube. A fitting is secured to an end of the flexible convoluted tube. The fitting includes a nipple having a profiled tubular portion received into the end of the flexible convoluted tube and a socket secured to the fitting so as trap the end of the flexible convoluted tube between the nipple and the socket. At least one of the nipple and the socket are made from a metal treated to decrease the electrical resistance of the fitting.
