A conduit fitting for passage of a conduit through an opening in a mounting wall that includes a tubular body having an internal through-passage for receiving a conduit, an external axially oriented wall surface, and an external circumferential channel axially spaced from the external wall surface. A clip ring is received in the body channel, and has a radially outwardly oriented surface that axially tapers narrowingly away from the wall surface of the tubular body. A circumferential rib extends radially inwardly from the body of the clip ring to engage a bottom surface of the channel at the narrow end of the ring. When the body and ring are inserted through the mounting wall opening, the wide end of the ring is cammed radially inwardly about the rib into the channel on the tubular body, and then expands radially outwardly to capture the mounting wall between the ring and the axially oriented wall surface on the body. A plurality of rings may be provided in differing colors coded to axial thicknesses to accommodate differing mounting wall thicknesses while employing a single tubular body construction.

Conduit end fitting

A spring clip cable support assembly for use with a cable comprising of an outer conduit and an inner flexible strand extending through the conduit comprising an inner tubular body having an opening therethrough and a radial flange thereon, a tubular spring clip pressed about a portion of the body, a collar extending about a portion of the spring clip and having a first end engaging the radial flange and second end adapted to engage one side of a support. The spring clip includes spring fingers adapted to engage the other side of the support. The lengths of the contacting portions of body and the spring clip are such that the free edge of the spring clip is spaced from the radial flange and is adapted to be positioned in a plurality of longitudinal positions during assembly to accommodate supports of different thickness. During assembly a spacer of the desired thickness corresponding to that of the intended support is interposed between the second end of the collar and ends of the spring fingers and the collar spring clip and body are interconnected in the desired position as by staking.
