Method 1. Permanent Termination
Apply solvent cement to shoulder and shank of box adapter and insert
through knockout from inside the enclosure. Push coupling over the shank
of the box adapter, tight against the enclosure wall. Rotate the coupling
about one-half turn while installing, and hold in position for a few seconds
to permit setting of solvent cement. The coupling is now ready for the
conduit to be installed. Only the shoulder of the box adapter extends
inside the enclosure.
Method 2. Separable Termination
If a “wet location” as defined in Article 100 of the NEC
®
construction is
required, place a flat washer or O-ring over the threads of the terminal
adapter, securely against the shoulder. Insert the adapter threads through
knockout and secure using either a standard locknut or threaded bushing.
If watertight construction is not required, eliminate flat washer.
