Patent attributes
A transition fitting for achieving a rain-tight transition at the entry of photovoltaic cables with EMT. The transition fitting includes a fitting body with an internal bore, a grommet seated within the bore, a nut for tightening the grommet against the fitting body, a compression fitting and a ground lug extending from the nut. A plurality of bores extend partially through the grommet. Photovoltaic (PV) cables may be inserted within one or more of the bores in the grommet and the nut tightened upon the fitting body to form a rain-tight fit around the PV cables. The skins of the grommet remain intact in any unused bores to maintain a rain-tight seal on any unused bores. The transition fitting will maintain a rain-tight seal at the entry of PV cables to EMT. The ground lug provides a means of grounding the EMT to the transition fitting.
