junction box help waterproof

[h901]

hi

i'm just looking for some help and ideas with a problem i'm facing when installing junction boxes for cameras

the box comes like the pic below but i have to remove the gland to fit the steel conduit as it doesn't fit through the hole (i've asked around at local wholesalers for one that fits but no one has any) but the problem is when the steel conduit goes direct to the box there is a large gap around as the hole is quite large (see second pic below), so i was wondering how i could seal the entry to prevent water entering the hole, i've used some self amalgamating tape for temporary measures.

thanks

Think it may well do

so, just an update, i got the conduit reducer and tried it and it fits, thanks again everyone

Magic gel doesn't replace connecting the conduit to the box!

you're right, didn't think of it like that

Probably a Mickey Mouse thread.

what does that mean?

Was thinking maybe it wasn't a conduit thread but some Chinese thread which fits nothing.

PG thread is the type used on most crap electrical products.

Well I still can't like posts, but at least that forum terms page has finally gone!

I cleaned up the internet rubbish, rebooted and re found the site with Google, then it worked for me. Good luck !
