Press fit condulet devices, assemblies systems and methods for electrical raceway fabrication

A method of fabricating a rigid metal conduit raceway of an electrical system, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a rigid metal conduit and a condulet assembly, the condulet assembly sized to receive the rigid metal conduit;
• circumscribing an outer surface of the rigid metal conduit with a gasket;
• circumscribing the outer surface of the rigid metal conduit with a gripping ring;
• circumscribing the outer surface of the rigid metal conduit with a washer that is positioned between the gasket and the gripping ring;
• and
• inserting an end of the rigid metal conduit into an end of the condulet assembly with the gasket, the gripping ring, and the washer disposed thereon until the gasket, the gripping ring, and the washer are disposed inside the condulet assembly;
• wherein the washer is configured to maintain a relative position of at least one of the gasket and the gripping ring during the step of inserting.
