REMOVABLE PUSH ELECTRICAL FITTING FOR ELECTRICAL METALLIC TUBING OR EMT HAVING IMPROVED PULLOUT RESISTANCE

摘要

An electrical fitting having a gripping device witha plurality of gripping tabs forming a helix or spiral.The gripping tabs have a twist creating increased pulloutresistance and easier disassembly. The electrical fittingpermits electrical metallic tubing or EMT to be quicklyattached to and removed from the electrical fittingwithout disassembling the fitting or cutting the tubing.A body with a locking end having a plurality of gripingtabs receives an end of the tubing pushed into thefitting. The gripping tabs securely hold the tubingpreventing loosening or removal. The helix or spiral andtwist formation of the griping tabs permits easy removalof the tubing by rotating the tubing counter-clockwise.
