A fitting for connecting conduit. The fitting includes a plurality of electrical conductors running through the fitting and a sealing compound that has been expanded within the fitting to separate the electrical conductors from each other and sides of the fitting. In a further embodiment, the fitting includes a plurality of conductors running through the fitting and a sealing compound that has been expanded within the fitting to separate the conductors from each other and sides of the fitting. The fitting includes a first plug that is secured within a first opening in the fitting such that the first plug is inserted into the first opening after the sealing compound is added to the fitting through the first opening.

Sealing fitting with expanding material

An expanding compound is used to seal conduit fittings. The compound is injected into the fitting, and expands to separate conductors within the fitting. In one embodiment, the compound expands to four times its size, and hardens within approximately one hour. In a further embodiment, the compound is a two-part product that is mixed in a self contained applicator and injected into the fitting.
