4.4.1 Function
A transition fitting provides the physical connection between flexible metal conduit and an
electrical connector or fitting. An accessory fitting provides the physical connection between flexible
conduit and a bulkhead or panel, and provides the means for coupling two lengths of conduit together.
This type of transition fitting requires the use of a stainless-steel cylindrical end-fitting which is
brazed directly to the braid of the flexible conduit. The other components of the transition fitting are
then attached to the end-fitting with a ferrule which operates by friction. The assembly is made
watertight by O-ring seals.
By comparison, the RP2000-Series reusable fittings (described in section 5) utilize a ferrule
which grips the conduit braid directly by friction, and does not provide for a watertight assembly.
