Conduit Locking Connector

Abstract

Improvements in a conduit locking connector that connects rigid conduit to an electrical junction box. Rigid conduit provides the benefit of allowing an installer to screw onto the side of the rigid conduit to frictionally lock into the rigid conduit with the conduit locking connector. A screw engages into rigid conduit that provide a hard bearing surface on opposing sides of the screw. This provides minimal bending of the rigid conduit for a firmer grip of the rigid conduit to the conduit locking connector. The conduit locking connector provides a physical interface that locks onto the rigid conduit and locks onto the junction box. The conduit locking connector provides anti-rotation between the rigid conduit and the junction box. Anti-rotation is with tabs that extend below a planar surface of the conduit locking connector and engage into holes in recesses in the junction box.
