Installation:

1. Prepare the Conduit:

   • Cut the conduit to the desired length using a hacksaw or conduit cutter.
   • Ensure the cut is clean and square.

2. Disassemble the Connector:

   • Unscrew the large top nut and separate the pieces of the connector.

3. Slide on the Components:

   • Slide the large cap and gasket over the conduit.

4. Attach the Connector:

   • Secure it with the lock ring.

6. Tighten the Assembly:

   • Screw the large ring onto the bottom piece and tighten it with pliers until the gasket is compressed and forms a watertight seal.

Tools Required:

1. Tape Measure: To measure the length of the conduit.
2. Hacksaw or Conduit Cutter: For cutting the conduit to the desired length.
3. Reaming Tool or Round File: To smooth out the edges of the cut conduit.
4. Adjustable Wrench or Pliers: For tightening the connector components.
5. Screwdriver or Power Drill: To secure the connector to the box or panel.
