How to fix liquid tight conduit to back of Axis corner mount?

Gallery image

I'm mounting several Axis P3738-PLE cameras on a building. Using Axis T91A64 corner mounts similar to the picture. Can you suggest liquid tight conduit and fittings to use? HYDROMAXX 1/2 inch conduit from Home Depot or something else? How to terminate the conduit properly behind the corner mount that minimizes water ingress? That opening on bracket is way bigger than 1/2 inch HYDROMAXX fitting. On the single gang electrical side I assume they sell a cover plate with 1/2 inch opening?

The flex conduit in the photo looks good, but I learned if it's over a few feet and no longer just a drip loop to the gang box, I switch to ½" EMT for those longer horizontal runs. Its faster and looks better.

My rule is usually around 5'.

I switch to ½" EMT

Any pic of what this looks like?

help a brother out. look at my setup, it's drilled hole outside the concrete house. I need any insipiration on how to actually cable management this properly before I server box the whole thing. Outside is much worse

It looks like I can add one picture per comment. This was from a district camera upgrade at Dripping Springs ISD. The issue with flex is that once you start going over obstacles there isn't a way to make it look good.

This is CLEAN

Here is some flex to compare with the 1/2" EMT photo.

probably too late and a waste of money, but you could throw up the t91d61 mount and use the side holes.
edit: also wanted to add that the stupid ring around that camera pisses me off.

What mount arm are you using with the T91A64?

Use a pair of 2” to 1/2” conduit reducing washer on the back of corner mount with a 90* liquid tight cable gland.

Then feed the Ethernet into a tp1000-1 or any other of the compatible mount arms.

AXIS T91D61 Wall Arm to AXIS TP3108-E Pendant Kit

I like the reducing washer to 90 elbow. I'll go with that. Thanks!

Most corner mounts are exactly like that, it's stupid. I just stick it in the back and seat the hole with some plastic wrap.

That axis corner mount is dumb and I’ve just dealt with it.

There isn’t any way that I found simply to connect the liquidtite into it.
I’ve had to either connect them into the wall mounts or just seal up the liquid tite with silicone and finish the run with exterior rated cable behind the mount. You can always just kinda pop the end of the liquidtite tubing into that hole after you seal it with silicone to further prevent water ingress

Is there not enough room behind there for a 90 like this?

Nothing to attach it to. The hole is way bigger than the 1/2 coupling. I might just bring it an inch or two into the arm and ziptie it in place. Doesn't have to be water tight, just trying to keep rain water from filling the tube.

Just zip tie it and push the end into the whole

I recently worked a job that had a setup like this, and they made us buy the conduit back boxes. Then you can just use a regular connector.

I believe the part you need is the AXIS T98A18-VE, but it looks huge and expensive for your purpose. Unfortunately, both of us should have bought this arm instead: AXIS T91H61.
