Bridgeport Fittings BF-1102 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes do the Bridgeport malleable iron conduit nipples come in?
Two trade sizes: 1/2 inch (part 1102) and 1 inch (part 1104). Order by the trade size of the raceway and enclosure hub you are joining, and match your locknuts to the same trade size.
2) What thread type is on Bridgeport conduit nipples, and will they thread into a standard enclosure hub?
They are cut with NPSM straight threads, which mate with the male and female threading used on rigid and IMC raceway components and enclosure hubs of the same trade size. Engaged properly, the joint is pressure-tight and resists loosening from vibration. On a plain knockout rather than a threaded hub you still need a locknut on each side to make the connection.
3) Are the locknuts included with these conduit nipples?
No. The nipple is the threaded body only. A conduit nipple only works as a short raceway between two enclosures when it is used with locknuts, so order locknuts in the matching trade size (1/2 inch or 1 inch) separately, plus sealing rings if the enclosure needs to stay raintight.
4) Can I use a malleable iron conduit nipple to join two panels mounted back to back?
That is exactly the intended use. With a locknut on each side, the nipple forms a short raceway between two enclosures, which is how you carry conductors from a panel into an adjacent gutter, wireway, or junction box without a run of conduit. Keep the nipple short enough that the enclosures stay tight together and the threads fully engage on both ends.
5) Are Bridgeport conduit nipples UL Listed and do they meet NEMA standards for a spec job?
They are UL Listed under file E9391 and carry a NEMA FB-1 rating, the standard for fittings, cast metal boxes and conduit bodies. That pair of credentials is normally what an inspector or a facility spec wants to see on enclosure fittings in commercial and industrial work.
6) Is a malleable iron nipple better than a steel or die-cast one for a panel connection?
Malleable iron is specified here for tensile strength, so the fitting takes mechanical stress and wrench torque better than a die-cast zinc body when the enclosures are being pulled together. The zinc electroplate finish adds corrosion resistance for typical indoor commercial and industrial environments. For wet, corrosive, or direct-buried locations you want a fitting rated for that condition instead.
7) Will a conduit nipple make a raintight or NEMA 4 connection?
On its own, no. The FB-1 rating covers the fitting itself, not the enclosure rating of the joint. A bare nipple and locknut assembly is a dry-location connection. If the enclosure has to hold a raintight rating, add sealing rings or gaskets rated for that service on both sides of the connection.
8) Does a conduit nipple need a bonding jumper or does it bond the enclosures by itself?
The malleable iron body and locknuts create a metallic path between enclosures, but whether that path is acceptable as the equipment ground depends on the circuit and on your inspector, particularly on service equipment and on concentric or eccentric knockouts. Where a bonding jumper or bonding-type locknut is called for by code, add it; the nipple alone is not sold as a bonding fitting.
9) Can a Cantex 5133330 PVC wallplate be used in place of a Bridgeport malleable iron conduit nipple?
No. The Cantex 5133330 is a PVC single toggle switch wallplate, a cover for a device box opening. The Bridgeport nipple is a threaded malleable iron fitting with a zinc electro-plate finish that, used with locknuts, forms a short raceway between two enclosures. One closes off a box face, the other carries conductors between boxes, so they are not interchangeable.
10) If a job calls for a PVC nonmetallic part rather than metal, is the Bridgeport conduit nipple still the right choice?
No. The Bridgeport conduit nipple is malleable iron with a zinc electro-plate finish and is NEMA FB-1 rated, so it is a metallic raceway fitting. Where the specification calls for nonmetallic PVC material, the Cantex 5133330 is an example of a PVC-series electrical part, though it is a switch wallplate and not a raceway nipple.
