I want to connect liquid tight tubing to PVC conduit. Searching online I see a lot of Poly tubing connectors w/compression on one end and with a threaded end for a box, but I want to go to a straight piece of conduit.
So what I want is a Poly to PVC conduit coupler.

Don't know if I am looking in the right place or not.
Searched the web, big Orange and big Green, but no success.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks


Looking at this video:
https://youtu.be/1x4i0LFU4_A?t=340
at 5 min & 40 secs the presenter picks one up and I had to turn the volume up really loud to try and figure out what he was saying.
Sounds like 'Carflex' connector.
After watching the video a couple of times I believe this is actually 2 pieces. Compression to male thread and female thread to PVC conduit ?
Did I get it right ?


Legally you need a female adapter on the RNC and a male Carflex
adapter. I won't tell you that a regular RNC coupling glued onto
Carflex will last forever but if you use primer ... Well you know.
It is a listing issue. Carlon does list using glued fittings on Smurf
Tube (ENT) but not Carflex.
OTOH plumbers do it all the time with Spaflex (white Carflex.)
