Is there a part available that transitions from a conduit to the FCSP AC Entry Grommet?

My conduit is a 1.25" diameter 12" nipple goes through the ICF wall and is screwed down to the 8" Hardiplank. Without something to bridge the gap between it, and the grommet in the back of the FCSP, the wires will hang in air for about a inch. And my thought to close the conduit is a large amount of silicon sealant injected in the end of the nipple, around the wires. There has to be a better way?

Installing a 4x4 box will not work as it can't be flush by insetting in to the concrete.

Would you be able to screw a coupling on the end of the conduit and use a chase nipple? Should gain you an inch or more.

I was thinking the same, landing it in the FCSP with an insulated bushing screwed on, but the grommet/FCSP wall is at an angle...

The grommet is removable. I used a male pipe fitting with a lock ring into the FCSP on a piece of flexible water tight. Should work for you and then a coupling between your conduit and the flexible duct. Assuming your conduit is PVC not EMT.

Interesting. You bent the flex @ 45 no doubt. I used a threaded IMC rigid conduit (standard pipe thread), so would need to transition from that to flex to an end all in 1" or so. Maybe a female pipe thread to PVC, then a short 45, then threaded end will fit. Thanks for the idea.
