Abstract

See full text

A one-piece electrical fitting for connecting an electrical cable to a junction box, the electrical fitting formed from a single, flat blank of metal into a cylindrical connector body. The connector body includes a leading end having an exit bore, a trailing end, a cap, an inner bore, and one or more combination tangs including grounding tangs, locking tangs, and flanges extending radially outward from the connector body. The exit bore in the cap is offset to one side with cable retaining tangs on the fitting configured to push toward the exit bore in order to ease insertion of cables and conductors through the fitting. The one-piece electrical fitting includes a connector body with a D-shaped cross-sectional profile and one or more auxiliary grounding tangs extending outward from the connector body to improve grounding of the fitting with respect to an electrical box.
