Abstract
An adjustable transition coupler for coupling AC/MC to conduit, having a body with a hollow cylindrical section and an extension member, the cylindrical section having a slot to allow passage of a stop plate. The coupler has an insulator (armor stop) with a hollow bushing at one end for insertion into a cavity of the cylindrical section and a stop plate extending radially outward, the stop plate movable by an adjustment screw between minimum and maximum deflections. The stop plate stops AC/MC from passage into the cylindrical section. The hollow bushing stops the conduit positioned in the hollow cylindrical section from passage into the extension member. The coupler has a strap to secure AC having different outer sheath diameters. Snap tabs on the insulator fit into holes in the body while a rib on the stop plate passes through a notch in the slot to facilitate installation and minimize movement.
