Detachable snap-in fitting
Disclosed is a fitting having a main body including a distal end and a proximal end, and a first split ring coupled to the distal end of the main body, wherein the first split ring includes an opening for receiving a main tab along an outer surface of the main body, and wherein the first split ring includes a set of disengagement tabs on opposite sides of a slot. The fitting may further include a second split ring within an interior of the main body, wherein the second split ring comprises a set of interior arms operable to engage a sheath of a cable.
Ground level primary electric distribution system
A ground level primary electrical distribution system deploys terrain mounted or essentially terrain flush pipes that protect suppress ignition from fires that may occur if components fail within the pipes. The pipes can be deployed in remote and rugged terrain where overhead power lines poses fire risks from wind damage and it is impractical and disruptive to bury the electricity conducting cable or deployed along roadways or field at ground level or essentially flush with the ground to avoid excavation yet avoid the use of overhead power lines that can be subject to damage from high wind. The pipes can follow the terrain between junctions over rigid segments formed by a plurality of end-to-end coupled enclosures, while the conductors are protected within jacketing or flow through flexible insulating and isolating conduits within the more rigid pipes.
Power cable and system for delivering electrical power
A power cable is presented. The power cable includes a power link. The power cable further includes an enclosure coupled to the power link, where the enclosure is partially open. Moreover, the power cable includes a contactor disposed at least partially within the enclosure and electrically coupled to the power link, where the contactor is configured to be connected to a receiver such that an open end of the enclosure forms a fluid-tight coupling with the receiver and a cavity is defined between the enclosure and the receiver. A system including the power cable and a method for controlling a supply of an electrical power are also presented.
CONDUIT FITTING
A fitting for an electrical conduit includes a fitting body having first and second open ends, and an interior surface defining a passage adapted to receive a piece of the electrical conduit therein. The fitting body includes a connection section that is configured to receive and connect to the electrical conduit during a connection process. A retainer is in the passage at the connection section of the fitting body. The retainer includes teeth adapted to engage the piece of electrical conduit received in the passage when the electrical conduit is inserted into the connection section during the connection process. A guide is in the passage of the fitting body. The guide is configured to center the piece of electrical conduit in the fitting body before the retainer engages the electrical conduit during the connection process.
Tamper Resistant Covers for Hose and/or Cable Connectors
Tamper-proof covers for enclosing hose connectors or cable connectors are described. The tamper proof covers may include first and second sections configured to fit about the long axis of the connector and to join to cover at least a portion of the connector so that the connector cannot be disconnected without removing the cover. The sections may be held in place using a cable seal, which must be cut to remove the cover.
Conduit Coupling Adapter
A conduit coupling adapter for securing attaching a conduit to an enclosure is disclosed. The conduit coupling adapter generally includes a first end for receiving a conduit and attaching to it via an adhesive, and a second end coupled to the second end comprises threads and is configured for attaching to an enclosure using a locknut.
Apparatus for Producing Different Sized Boxes
The present invention provides a base electrical box, and an end portion. The end portion is added to the base electrical box to substantially complete the electrical box. The electrical box also includes at least one intermediate portion that is added to complete the electrical box. The at least one intermediate portion is placed between the base electric box and the end portion.
Wire harness for retaining a cover there of
A wire harness that includes a cylindrical connector shell; a cylindrical flexible conductor; a fixing member for fixing the flexible conductor to an end of the connector shell; and a cover that covers the connector shell and the flexible conductor, wherein: the cover is fixed through fastening to the connector shell by a fixing band that is arranged on an outer circumferential surface of a leading end of the cover, and the cover includes: a connector fastener that is fastened to the connector shell by the fixing band; a covering that covers the fixing member; and a rib that protrudes inward between the connector fastener and the covering.
Electrical conduit, connection structure for electrical conduit, bell block, method for connecting electrical conduit, method for connecting electrical conduit and bell block, pipe coupling, ring member, double-wall electrical conduit, and connection structure and conduit line for double-wall electrical conduit
A ring member is disposed on a ring member mounting position. The ring member mounting position is a region between a pair of locking walls and is formed in a straight pipe shape. The ring member is in a substantially C shape with an opening at a part of its circumferential direction. The ring member may also be formed in a ring shape being connected at ring member joint parts. The ring member includes a reduced diameter part and first click parts protruding from the reduced diameter part substantially parallel in the pipe axial direction to form a slide guide. The ring member also includes second click parts of which outer diameters expand gradually from the reduced diameter part toward their tip ends. A male fitting part and a female fitting part are fitted with each other using the above ring member to obtain an electrical conduit. A connection structure for the electrical conduits, a bell block, a method for connecting electrical conduits, a method for connecting an electrical conduit and a bell block, a pipe coupling, and a ring member can be obtained thereby. The present invention can also provide a double-wall conduit of which an outer conduit is the electrical conduit having the same structures as the male fitting part and the female fitting part, a connection structure for the double-wall electrical conduits, and a conduit line using the connection structure.
Press fit condulet devices, assemblies systems and methods for electrical raceway fabrication
A conduit outlet assembly for a rigid metal conduit raceway of an electrical system is provided. A conduit outlet assembly includes a gasket, a gripping ring, and a condulet assembly. The gasket is sized to circumscribe an outer surface of a rigid metal conduit of the rigid metal conduit raceway. The gripping ring is sized to circumscribe the outer surface of the rigid metal conduit. The condulet assembly is sized to receive the rigid metal conduit, and includes an adapter and a condulet. The adapter includes a compression section and a coupling section, wherein the compression section is sized to receive the rigid metal conduit with the gasket and the gripping ring disposed thereon. The condulet is sized to receive the coupling section of the adapter.
