Bridgeport Fittings BL-17 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What cable types does the Bridgeport BL-17 connector work with?
The BL-17 is built for armored and metal clad cable (AC90/MC) and flexible metal conduit, with 8/3 called out as a recommended cable size. It is a 1/2 inch trade size fitting, so it lands in a standard 1/2 inch knockout.
2) Will the Bridgeport BL-17 fit a standard 1/2 inch knockout in a panel or box?
Yes. It is a 1/2 inch trade size connector with a 1/2 inch knockout rating, so it drops into the standard 1/2 inch KO on a panel, junction box or device box. Body length is 1.38 inches and width 0.62 inches, which matters when you are crowding several fittings along one side of a box.
3) Does the Bridgeport BL-17 connector meet bonding and grounding requirements for an inspection?
It is NRTL listed under UL file E9391 and carries a NEMA FB-1 rating. Bridgeport states the fitting meets the bonding and grounding requirements that listing covers, and the zinc die cast body plus double-serrated locknut is what makes the mechanical and electrical bond at the enclosure.
4) Is this a one-screw or two-screw armored cable connector?
Single screw. The BL Series uses a one-screw clamp rather than the two-screw strap style, which is faster to land on each cable. If your spec sheet calls specifically for a two-screw strap type connector, this is not that fitting.
5) What does the reversible locknut on the BL Series actually do for me?
The locknut is double-serrated on both faces, so it goes on either way round and still bites. In practice that means no fumbling for orientation when you are working blind inside a panel, and the serrations cut through paint or coating on the enclosure to keep the ground path solid.
6) How many Bridgeport BL-17 connectors come in a box and how heavy is the carton?
The BL-17 is sold as a 100 pack, which is the usual way electrical contractors and MRO stockrooms buy 1/2 inch AC connectors. Stated product weight is 12 lbs.
7) Is Bridgeport BL-17 made in the USA?
Bridgeport Fittings is an American manufacturing company, but the country of origin recorded for the BL-17 is China. If you are working a job with a domestic-sourcing requirement, that is the number to check against your spec.
8) Which connector installs faster on a 1/2 inch knockout, the Bridgeport BL-17 or a two-screw strap fitting?
The Bridgeport BL-17 uses a single screw design, which goes on quicker than two-screw strap type fittings, and its reversible double-serrated locknut spins on from either side of the knockout. Among straight fittings of a similar style, the Thomas & Betts 306 Tite-Bite is a straight connector for 1 inch FMC. If the job is 1/2 inch AC90 whips at volume, the BL-17 is the size match.
