Abstract:
A transition coupler for coupling a flexible metal conduit (FMC) to an electrical metallic tubing (EMT) or rigid conduit comprises a housing with a hollow cylinder having an aperture passing therethrough, the aperture for receipt of an EMT or a rigid conduit. The cylinder includes an extension with recesses. The first shell member is secured to the extension and is shaped to support an FMC. The shell member has first and second flanges, the first flange having apertures and the second flange having an elongated groove. A second shell member has first and second flanges, the second flange having an extending projection for passage through the elongated groove of the first shell member, thereby providing for securement of the FMC to the transition coupler upon receipt of screws through the first and second shell members. A ring having tabs is inserted within the recesses of the extension.
