What glands to connect conduit to metal clad socket/switch?

[JamesHughes]

Topic says it all really. Wiring up some stuff in the garage - going to use 20mm PVC conduit, but don't know what sort of glands/connectors are needed to connect to the metal clad gear.

Anyone have a toolstation/screwfix/QVS product code to point me in the right direction?

Never seen them before lec, thank goodness!!

 

[RF Lighting]

I've never seen them either.

Hows that work then?

Doesn't look like a very reliable earth connection to me.

 

[GaryMo]

New to me also. Is that a grub screw?

Or a top hat, bush and lead washer.

Flange coupling?

 

[Spark123]

Yeah, they were called that before we renamed them top hats

its a sort of springy metal tag , that is rivetted onto the inside this makes it fit tight.
There called knock on couplers.
you can get a thro one as well to join two unthreaded conduits.
You hammer on with an hammer.
I dont think the makers recomend using them without an earth wire though.
