ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A vapor-proof connector on a metal electrical conduit includes an externally threaded tubular body engaging the end of the conduit and a gland nut spaced inwardly of the engaging the tubular body. The gland nut has an in- wardly directed peripheral flange with a tapered inside face confronting a tapered and face of the body to delineate an annular space which surrounds the conduit and houses a channel-shaped split metal ring having inwardly directed diverging flanges and a wedge-shaped deformable gland ring arranged end to end so that tightening of the gland nut com- presses the gland ring between the metal ring and the body or nut to radially compress the inside face of the gland ring and cause the split ring to bite and anchor to the conduit. Alternatively, the gland ring may be encircled by the split ring. The ends of the split ring may have opposing reduced width tongues extending therefrom. The gland ring has a coupling member extending radially outwardly into the cir- cumference of the split ring and has a longitudinal bore therein which receives the tongue.
