Abstract
An electrical connection assembly for securing electrical metal conduit to a junction box or the like, having a connection body with an inlet end portion includes a first portion sized to snugly receive an end portion of a conduit and a second portion having an internal surface that diverges outwardly toward the opening of the inlet end portion. A unitary sealing and compression ring, with a compression ring portion having a greater degree of slope than the sealing ring portion, is positioned so that the sealing ring portion of the unitary ring is received within the inlet end portion. A fastening nut secures the conduit to the inlet portion by causing the sealing ring portion to form a water or fluid tight seal and forming a mechanically sound connection between the connector body and the conduit. The unitary sealing and compression ring formed of metal provides electrical grounding.
