Abstract
A connector structure includes a body having a cylindrical recess dimensioned to receive the end of a piece of conduit and a retaining clip to hold the conduit in the recess. The cylindrical recess is provided with an annular recess. The clip comprises a ring with inwardly extending fingers bent out of the plane of the ring, one or more of the fingers having ends thereof bent to form latch tabs. When the conduit is inserted through the clip into the cylindrical recess, the rings are bent against the inner walls of the cylindrical recess so that the tabs enter the annular recess, the intermediate tabe engaging the outer surface of the conduit to hold the assembly together.
