Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BRIDGEPORT from 3G Electric.
What types of Bridgeport conduit fittings does 3G Electric supply?
3G Electric supplies a range of Bridgeport conduit fittings, including set screw connectors for RMC/IMC, compression connectors, combination couplings, snap-in straight connectors for AC/MC cable, and other termination hardware. These are available in various trade sizes and materials such as die-cast zinc and steel. Many are listed to UL 514B or CSA standards. The catalog includes both insulated and non-insulated options. For specific part numbers and availability, contact 3G Electric with your requirements.
Are Bridgeport set screw connectors suitable for outdoor use?
Bridgeport set screw connectors are generally designed for indoor applications unless specifically rated for outdoor use. For damp or outdoor locations, consider Bridgeport compression connectors with a rain-tight design, such as the 252-RT2. Set screw connectors provide a mechanical connection but may not offer the same moisture protection. Always verify the suitability of the fitting for the environment and consult local electrical codes. 3G Electric can help identify the appropriate connector based on your application.
What is the difference between Bridgeport snap-in and set screw connectors?
Bridgeport snap-in connectors, such as the 566-DC2 and 840SP, are designed for quick termination of AC/MC cable into junction boxes or enclosures. They feature a snap-in design and a 2-screw strap to secure the cable. Set screw connectors, like the 507-DC2, are used for RMC/IMC conduit and have a male thread for attachment to boxes. The choice depends on the cable or conduit type and the installation method. Both types are available in non-insulated versions and are listed to applicable standards.
Does 3G Electric provide documentation for Bridgeport fittings?
Yes, 3G Electric can provide available documentation for Bridgeport fittings, such as UL or CSA listing information, material certifications, and manufacturer datasheets. When requesting a quote, specify the part numbers and any documentation requirements. 3G Electric will include available documents with the shipment or provide them electronically. For specific compliance needs, contact 3G Electric to confirm what is available for the selected products.
Can Bridgeport combination couplings be used with EMT and flexible conduit?
Yes, Bridgeport combination couplings, such as the 282-DC, are designed to transition between EMT and flexible metal conduit (FMC) in the same trade size. They are made of zinc and are UL 514B listed. These couplings provide a secure mechanical connection and are used where a change in conduit type is required. Ensure the trade size matches the conduits being joined. 3G Electric stocks these couplings and can assist with selection.
