Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for attaching flexible conduit to a fitting. Prongs of a conduit retention clip contact opposite sides of the flexible conduit in an aperture of the fitting. By aligning the prongs in grooves of the flexible conduit, the flexible conduit is held in place in the aperture of the fitting without sufficient compression to surpass the structural limits of the fitting.
