Abstract
A grommet is attachable over an opening in an enclosure wall of an electrical device to protect electrical conductors passing through the opening. The grommet has a twist lock conduit connector that can be attached over an opening in the enclosure wall of the electrical device without the need for separate fasteners. The grommet protects the insulation of electrical conductors passing through the opening of the enclosure wall, seals the opening from its exterior environment, and provides a connection outside the enclosure wall for the attachment of a length of conduit through which the electrical conductors are passed.
