Abstract
A junction for joining a first section of conduit to a second section of conduit is described. The junction has a body, which has a first connecting portion for connecting a respective first section of conduit to said body and has a second connecting portion for connecting a second respective section of conduit to said body. The body defines a volume extending between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The junction also has a lid which is engagable with the body and is adapted to close the aperture. The junction also has at least one earth connector which is located within the body and has at least one channel adapted to receive at least one earthed electrical cable in electrical contact with the body.
Claims15
A junction for joining at least one first section of conduit to at least one second section of conduit, the junction comprising:
- a body, having at least one first connecting portion for connecting a respective first section of conduit to said body and at least one second connecting portion for connecting a second respective section of conduit to said body, the body defining a volume extending between at least one said first connecting portion and at least one second connecting portion, and having at least one aperture allowing access to said volume;
- at least one lid engagable with said body and adapted to close the or each aperture;
- and
- at least one earth connector located within said body and having at least one channel adapted to receive at least one earthed electrical cable in electrical contact with said body.
A junction for joining at least one first section of conduit to at least one second section of conduit substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
An earthed junction for joining a first and a second cable housing, said junction comprising:
- a body defining a volume;
- a first connector part of said body for receiving said first cable housing;
- a second connector part of said body for receiving said second cable housing;
- and
- an electrical connector part of the body, said electrical connector part having a channel for receiving a conductive part of an earthed wire receivable in the volume and a fastener for retaining the earthed wire in the electrical connector part and to maintain electrical contact between the body and the earthed wire.
