What happens here

The video begins with a 'Master Electrician Dad' introducing a specialized electrical component: a slip fitting (also called a slip connector) for electrical conduit. He holds the fitting, which is a 2-inch version, and explains its basic function. He demonstrates its unique feature by pulling it apart into two distinct pieces, highlighting how this design simplifies the connection process for electrical conduit between two electrical panels or boxes that are already installed, making it easier to bridge gaps without needing precise measurements.

Goal: Understand the basic function and unique design of an electrical conduit slip fitting.

This is actually a slip fitting. Oh wow. Is that EMT? Hey Dad, what do you got in your hand right there? Have you ever seen one of these? No. What is that? So this is like a slip connector. This is actually a 2 in. You need to run a 2 in between two panels and the panels are already up or two boxes. This is actually a slip fitting. Oh wow. Nice. Two pieces. I don't No, I've never seen that. Okay, but there's a catch. Yeah, what's the catch? I don't see any UL listing on here. No UL? I don't see it.
