Abstract
In fittings designed to connect threadless electrical conduits, the improvement of providing raintight fittings, having a hollow cylindrical housing with a bore adapted to receive an end of a conduit to be connected with such a fitting and a compression ring with a solid ring portion assembled on the conduit along with a seal, with the solid ring portion of the compression ring providing a radial surface for advancing the seal along the conduit and to compress the seal radially against the conduit to effect a raintight seal between the housing and such conduit and a compression means which is forced against such conduit by a nut system to lock such conduit in the fitting when the radial face of the compression ring abuts against the housing after compressing the elastomer seal against such conduit.
