Abstract:
Provided herein are conduit couplings and connector assemblies suitable for wet locations. In some embodiments, a connector assembly includes a conduit, a compression ring extending around the conduit, and a connector body extending around a conduit outer surface, wherein the connector body including first and second ends. The connector body may further include an inner cavity and an internal stop, wherein the inner cavity and the internal stop define first and second sections. The connector assembly may further include a sealing ring within the inner cavity, wherein the sealing ring is directly adjacent the stop, a compression seal extending around the conduit outer surface, wherein the compression seal is in abutment with the first end or the second end of the connector body, and a friction ring extending around the conduit outer surface, wherein the friction ring is in abutment with the compression ring and the compression seal.
