Everything you need to know about Conduit Pipe Fitting

Electrical conduit fittings are available in different types and materials. Following are some of the common types.

The company is the world’s best Non-Metallic Fittings supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

Adapters &#; are used to connect different types of conduit materials and different thread sizes.

Bushing &#; helps keep sharp edges from damaging wires. It is inserted into the ends of the metal conduit.

Coupling &#; is used to create runs of the same conduit type and is attached with set screws or compression. Threaded couplings are screwed directly onto the conduit while non-metallic couplings are attached with solvent cement.

Elbow &#; is used to connect conduits in a gentle sweeping curve to change the direction of conduits and save wires from damage.

Strap &#; is used to hold conduits to the wall and prevent sagging and breakage.

Connector &#; joins conduit runs together and connects them to outlet boxes, load centers, and other devices.

Expansion fittings &#; connect conduits between two areas where the temperature changes rapidly. These fittings also help reduce stress on the raceway.

Grounding fittings &#; used in areas where grounding considerations are crucial. These fittings provide a continuous path in the conduit system to prevent grounding discontinuities. Ideal to install in where you need to break a conduit run for maintenance, repair, or troubleshooting.

Other types &#; include caps, tees, flanges, plugs, squeeze clamp connectors, wyes, and more.

This is my first post, so hello all and thanks in advance for any responses. Info: I recently purchased a home with a detached garage and the inspector had informed me that my garage was grounded incorrectly. The garage is a typical garage with outlets along the three walls, two outlets in the ceiling for garage opener and another one where a shop light is plugged in. There is also a set of lights on either side of the garage and a set inside. After a T-storm came through the ceiling outlets aren't working. After it went out I did a little investigation and also found out that the wiring in the outlets in the walls are wired backwards (two light lit up telling me the poles are reversed). Now one last piece to this puzzle, which is what prompted me to post a question, I now hear clicking coming from within my OSB sealed fiberglass insulated garage wall between an outlet and the 3-gang switch (it is loudest below the 3-gang and right of the nearest outlet). My question: How big of a fire hazard am I looking at? I know it needs to be fixed, I just need to find the time to do it. Can anyone answer this riddle?
