The grommet includes an inbound end, an outbound end, an outer periphery and a flange extending from the outer periphery at the inbound end. The tubular sealing ring includes one or more thread engagement tabs having an apex that is aligned along the central axis of the sealing ring. The MC ring includes a base portion having an inbound end, an outbound end, and plurality of fingers extending from the outbound end. The fitting facilitates rain-tight connection and proper electrical grounding of PVC-MC cable to an electrical box or panel.
