Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BRIDGEPORT FITTINGS from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Bridgeport Fittings 39ASP and 3838ASP straight connectors?
Both are die-cast zinc straight connectors with a snap-in, insulated design and set screw clamp. The 39ASP has a 3 in trade size, while the 3838ASP has a 2 in trade size. Both are used for terminating metal-clad cable and flexible conduit in junction boxes and enclosures. The insulated throat protects conductor insulation during installation. Selection depends on the cable or conduit trade size and the knockout size of the enclosure. Both are UL listed.
What are Bridgeport Fittings aligning set screw conduit connectors used for?
Bridgeport aligning set screw conduit connectors, such as the 234-SLP, 232-SLP, and 231-SLP, are steel, non-insulated components used to join and align rigid metal conduit in electrical installations. They secure conduit runs and maintain alignment at couplings. The 234-SLP has a 1-1/2 in trade size and 4-3/4 in overall length; the 232-SLP has a 1 in trade size and 3-7/16 in overall length; the 231-SLP has a 3/4 in trade size and 3-7/32 in overall length. They are installed with set screws and do not provide an insulated throat.
Are Bridgeport Fittings straight connectors available with male NPT hubs?
Yes. The Bridgeport Fittings 688-DCI2 is a die-cast zinc straight connector with a 1-1/4 in trade size and a 3 in male NPT threaded end. It has an insulated throat and set screw clamp for terminating metal-clad cable and flexible conduit. The 683-DCI2 has a 1 in male NPT hub and a 3/8 in trade size, with a snap-in duplex design for AC/MC cable and flexible conduit. These connectors allow threaded entry into enclosures or hubs where a locknut and bushing assembly is not used.
What trade sizes of Bridgeport Fittings straight connectors does 3G Electric list?
3G Electric lists Bridgeport Fittings straight connectors in trade sizes including 3/8 in, 1/2 in, 1-1/4 in, 2 in, and 3 in. Specific models include the 683-DCI2 (3/8 in), 74ASP (1/2 in), 688-DCI2 (1-1/4 in), 3838ASP (2 in), and 39ASP (3 in). Connectors are available in die-cast zinc with gray finish, insulated or non-insulated, and with snap-in or set screw clamp styles. Male NPT hub sizes vary by model, such as 1 in or 3 in, to match enclosure entries.
What materials are used in Bridgeport Fittings conduit connectors?
Bridgeport Fittings conduit connectors are available in die-cast zinc and steel. The straight connectors for AC/MC cable and flexible conduit, such as the 39ASP, 3838ASP, 688-DCI2, 683-DCI2, and 74ASP, are die-cast zinc with a gray finish. The aligning set screw conduit connectors, such as the 234-SLP, 232-SLP, and 231-SLP, are steel and non-insulated. Material selection affects mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and suitability for specific environments. Die-cast zinc is commonly used for cable termination fittings, while steel is used for rigid conduit alignment and coupling applications.
Does 3G Electric provide datasheets for Bridgeport Fittings products?
Yes. 3G Electric lists 73 Bridgeport Fittings SKUs with datasheets available for each. Datasheets include specifications such as trade size, material, insulation type, connection style, and manufacturer part number. For example, the 39ASP datasheet lists a 3 in trade size, die-cast zinc construction, snap-in insulated design, and set screw clamp. Buyers can use these documents for specification review, submittals, and maintenance planning. 3G Electric also provides quotation and logistics support for global shipments.
