LIQUID TIGHT SWIVEL COUPLER FOR ELECTRICAL CONDUIT

摘要

A swivel coupler for connecting a pair of rigid electrical conduits especially in a confined space, includes a tubular body member with an inner sleeve of rigid plastic material, which protrudes slightly beyond the ends of the body. A pair of nuts are slidably mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body between outwardly directed radial flanges adjacent opposite ends of the body and which thread a corresponding conduit. A method of fabricating the coupling is to reverse opposite body ends 180.degree. to abut the outer peripheral surface of the body, have one end with an outside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the nuts, position the nuts back to back on the body, and than enlarge the reduced end of the body to its normal diameter or larger.
