Abstract
A liquid tight connector for pass through cable, tubing or rods includes a body, a compression nut and a gland. There are fingers on the body with flats and triangular ends which cradle the gland and grasp cable, tubing or rods in a liquid tight manner tightly enough to provide strain relief. Spherical bumps with pawl like flats hold the compression nut free of the likelihood of loosening once engaged. The triangular configuration of the ends of the fingers enables improved strain relief and adapts to a large selection of cable, tubing or rod diameters.
