[QUOTE="Mr Sworld, post: 25640, member: 184"] To join the conduit together you'll need to thread each end with a tap. The coupler is then used to join the threaded ends. However if the conduit cannot be rotated you'll need to thread the conduit enough to thread the coupler all the way onto the conduit with a locknut as well. The other length is then offered up, with a locknut threaded onto it already, and the coupler unscrewed enough from the first length onto the second length to join them. The locknuts are then tightened up on either side to prevent the coupler from moving. On the backboxes a male bush is used on the inside of the box to pass through the knockout, it is then screwed into the coupler, on the end of the length of conduit, as if it was the second piece of conduit as in my first example.
