Abstract
Modular connectors for rigid tubing are provided. An assembly according to embodiments of the present disclosure may include a rigid tube connected to a coupling assembly, the coupling assembly including a main body having a first tubular section and a second tubular section. The assembly may further include a connector head coupled to the coupling assembly, the connector head including a first section coupled to a second section, wherein the first and second sections define an internal cavity for housing an electrical connector, and wherein the first tubular section extends within the internal cavity.
Claims20
An assembly, comprising:
- a rigid tube connected to a coupling assembly, the coupling assembly including a main body having a first tubular section and a second tubular section;
- and
- a connector head connected to the coupling assembly, the connector head comprising:
- a first section;
- and
- a second section coupled to the first section, wherein the first and second sections define an internal cavity for housing an electrical connector, and wherein the first tubular section extends within the internal cavity.
An electrical metallic tubing coupling assembly, comprising:
- an electrical metallic tubing connected to a coupling assembly, the coupling assembly including a main body having a first tubular section connected to a second tubular section;
- and
- a connector head coupled to the coupling assembly, the connector head comprising:
- a first section;
- and
- a second section coupled to the first section, wherein the first and second sections define an internal cavity for housing an electrical connector, and wherein the first tubular section extends within the internal cavity.
A connector head for an electrical metallic tubing, the connector head comprising:
- a first section;
- and
- a second section coupled to the first section, wherein the first and second sections define an internal cavity for housing an electrical connector, wherein the first section includes a first internal planar section, wherein the second section includes a second internal planar section extending perpendicular to the first internal planar section, and wherein at least one of the first internal planar section and the second internal planar section includes a recess for receiving a coupling assembly connected to the electrical metallic tubing.
