That's my question - do you just slip and glue the flexible male end into the (smooth) rigid female end of the body? Some of the smaller bodies are smooth on the inside. Just thought there would be an adapter for that.....

PVC watertight flex, to a PVC conduit body (LB, LR, LL, etc.).

I do get confused with some of these things. But...
There are special fittings for that. I believe they must have markings FNMC-B or LFNC-B cast into the fitting to be code compliant. If a box has a slip fitting it is meant to have rigid conduit glued into the hole OR a fitting that adapts to the length of flex conduit.
When there is a male threaded fitting that needs to mate to another male threaded fitting our elecrician has made a coupler using a short piece of rigid pvc conduit with a threaded adapter on each end. Two of these connected with a short length of rigid.
Like if the flexible conduit is this stuff.... then, this fitting would be used.....
Sometimes I wish I had become an electrician. Then when I see the size of the NEC book I have other thoughts.

I guess they don't make what I'm looking for.  Or, I just need to use a body with threads.....
