Claims20
A conduit coupling system, comprising:
- an enclosure including an enclosure opening, wherein the enclosure opening leads from an exterior of the enclosure to an interior of the enclosure;
- a conduit coupling adapter comprising a first portion including a first opening and a second portion including a second opening, wherein the first opening is at a first end of the conduit coupling adapter and wherein the second opening is at a second end of the conduit coupling adapter;
- a flange defined between the first portion and the second portion of the conduit coupling adapter, wherein the second end of the conduit coupling adapter is disposed within the enclosure opening of the enclosure such that the flange of the conduit coupling adapter rests against the exterior of the enclosure;
- and
- a conduit including an end portion, wherein the end portion of the conduit is secured within the first opening of the first end of the conduit coupling adapter by an adhesive, wherein the first opening of the first end of the conduit coupling adapter comprises a bonding surface adapted for bonding the conduit to the first opening of the first end of the conduit coupling adapter using the adhesive.
