A method of securing an electrical conduit in an electrical conduit fitting including releasably gripping and removably retaining the electrical conduit in the electrical conduit fitting with a conduit retainer disposed in a passage of the electrical conduit fitting prior to press connecting the electrical conduit fitting to the electrical conduit to fixedly attach the electrical conduit fitting to the electrical conduit.

Press fitting for electrical conduit

A press fitting for an electrical conduit includes a fitting body and a press connector in a press-connection section of the fitting body to allow press-fit connection to a conduit. A conduit retainer in a conduit retainer section of the fitting body releasably grips and removably retains the electrical conduit in the fitting body before the press-connection section is deformed radially inward during the press connection process.

A cable gland assembly includes a gland nut defining a longitudinal axis. The gland nut includes an interior wall defining a gland nut opening and the interior wall includes a stop. A bushing is disposed within the gland nut opening proximate the stop. The bushing defines a bushing opening configured to receive a cable therein. A sleeve is moveably disposed within the gland nut opening adjacent the bushing. The cable gland assembly also includes a body defining a body opening configured to receive at least a portion of the cable therein. The body is configured to couple to the gland nut, and upon tightening of the gland nut to the body, the gland nut moves along the longitudinal axis compressing the bushing between the gland nut and the sleeve and around the cable. When the sleeve engages with the stop, further compression of the bushing is restricted.

A press fitting for an electrical conduit includes a fitting body and a press connector in a press-connection section of the fitting body to allow press-fit connection to a conduit. A conduit retainer in the press fitting releasably grips and removably retains the electrical conduit in the fitting body before the press-connection section is deformed radially inward during the press connection process. A socket in the press fitting has a cross-sectional diameter that tapers in a direction away from the press-connection section.

An electrical box includes a first electrical component having an output terminal, and a second electrical component having an input terminal. A jumper is connected to the output terminal of the first electrical component and the input terminal of the second electrical component. The jumper defines a heat flow path between the first and second electrical components. The heat flow path defines a minimum path between the first and second electrical components along the heat flow path. A minimum distance along the minimum heat path between the first and second electrical components is greater than a minimum distance between first and second electrical components.

A housing for a light fixture includes at least one wall that forms a cavity and a light source housing portion, where the at least one wall includes a thermally-conductive material, where the light source housing portion is configured to receive at least one light source. The housing can also include a wireway disposed between the cavity and the light source housing portion. The housing can further include multiple heat sink fins that extend from an outer surface of the at least one wall. The housing can also include at least one air throughway that exposes at least a portion of the wireway between the at least one wall and the light source housing portion, where the at least one air throughway allows air to pass over the portion of the wireway, where the at least one air throughway is formed independent of the heat sink fins.

Hazardous location light fixture housings

The present disclosure relates to a conduit coupler including a hub and a lock nut that thread on the hub. In one example, the lock nut includes a ground connection location including a linear wire retention slot. The ground wire can be retained in the linear wire retention slot by a grounding bracket secured at the ground connection location by a grounding screw. The grounding bracket can be captive relative to the grounding screw. The grounding bracket can include integrated spring washer functionality. The ground connection location can be provided on a tower of the lock nut.
