A fastener for connecting a coated conduit to a fitting or to another coated conduit includes a bushing and polymeric material coating and surrounding an external surface of the bushing. The bushing includes internal and external threading The polymeric material includes a central portion coating at least the first end of the bushing, a first flexible sleeve extending from the central portion in a first direction and creating a cavity, and a second flexible sleeve extending from the central portion in a second direction, opposite the first direction. The external threading of the bushing is configured to be threaded into a fitting or conduit such that the first flexible sleeve fits over a circumference of the fitting or a coated conduit, and the internal threading of the bushing is configured to be threaded onto coated conduit such that the second flexible sleeve fits over a circumference of the coated conduit.

Reducing fastener having flexible sleeves for connecting a coated conduit to a fitting

A conduit body includes a sidewall defining an internal chamber and at least two ports providing access to the internal chamber, and a cover connectable to the sidewall to enclose the internal chamber. The sidewall defines a first surface section adjacent one of the at least two ports, a second surface section adjacent another of the at least two ports, and a radiused transition section connecting the first surface section and the second surface section and configured for reducing frictional drag of a cable pulled though the internal chamber. The first surface section is spaced apart from the second surface section to increase a volume of the internal chamber.
