Articulated electrical conduit fitting assemblies and methods of assembling thereof

An articulated fitting assembly for fabricating an electrical conduit raceway of an electrical system, the fitting assembly comprising:

• a hollow cap having a first cap end and a second cap end opposite the first cap end, the first cap end configured to couple with a component of an electrical conduit raceway;
• and
• a hollow fitting having a first fitting end and a second fitting end opposite the first fitting end, the fitting further comprising:
• a head arranged at the first fitting end and comprising a single arcuate fitting surface extending from the first fitting end to a fitting body, wherein:
• the fitting body extends from the head to the second fitting end,
• the head is received in the second cap end, the cap coupled with the fitting at the single arcuate fitting surface,
• the cap is coupled with the fitting via a coupler arranged about the second cap head and the single arcuate fitting surface, the coupler being defined by a first coupler end and a second coupler end,
• a sealing ring formed with a groove therein is arranged on the coupler such that the second coupler end is located in the groove, and
• the cap is positionable at a longitudinal angle between 0° and 360° with the fitting and at a radial angle in a range with the fitting, the fitting assembly sized to receive electrical wires of the electrical conduit raceway therethrough.

A method of assembling an articulated fitting assembly for fabricating an electrical conduit raceway of an electrical system, the method comprising:

• forming a hollow cap having a first cap end and a second cap end opposite the first cap end, the first cap end configured to couple with a component of an electrical conduit raceway;
• forming a hollow fitting having a first fitting end and a second fitting end opposite the first fitting end, the fitting further including:
• a head arranged at the first fitting end and including a single arcuate fitting surface extending from the first fitting end to a fitting body, wherein the fitting body extends from the head to the second fitting end and extending from the head;
• forming a coupler shaped to receive the second cap end and the first fitting end therein;
• coupling a sealing ring to the coupler, the sealing ring comprising an inner ring and an outer ring that are joined to form a groove therebetween, the groove being arranged to capture a second end of the coupler therein;
• inserting the second cap end and the first fitting end into the coupler;
• and
• coupling, via the coupler, the cap with the fitting such that the coupler and the second cap end both contact the single arcuate fitting surface, wherein the cap is positioned at a longitudinal angle between 0° and 360° with the fitting and at a radial angle in a range with the fitting,
• wherein the fitting assembly is sized to receive electrical wires of the electrical conduit raceway therethrough.
