Question:

connector size for 1/2 flexible metal conduit?

I purchased 1/2 fmc conduit, 1/2 bushings, 1/2 knockout junction box, and 1/2 connectors.The conduit, bushings and knockout seem to fit, but the connector looks too small? What size connector should I be using with 1/2 fmc? Or is there a trick to connecting it?

Answer:

The connectors should be a little bit larger than a 1/2 inch and should slide right over top of the 1/2 conduit. If the don't I would take the items back to the store becasue that is their purpose.
Have you tried assembling the connector to the conduit? If you spin the collar off, you should have 3 pieces. The outer collar, a plastic ring, and the end piece that screws into the conduit. Slide the collar and ring over the end of the conduit and screw the end piece in until the conduit end is covered by the end piece. If it doesn't fit, the store sold you the wrong connector. Hope this helps
