Who makes compression connectors that are UL listed for Aluminum rigid conduit?

I have to cut a Mogul C condulet into an old 3" run with about 390 degrees of bends.

TIA,
Mark

Mark, I can't give you a name right off the top of my head, but you can use steel fittings with the aluminum if you have no choice and are not in severe corrosive areas
