Bridgeport Fittings 236-USI – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Bridgeport 236-USI connector for EMT or for flexible metal conduit?
EMT only. The Bridgeport 236-USI is a set screw connector built for electrical metallic tubing, so the tubing slides into the connector body and is clamped by the set screw. Flex (FMC) needs a different fitting entirely, such as the Thomas & Betts 306 straight Tite-Bite connector for 1 inch FMC. Putting EMT in a flex fitting or flex in an EMT fitting is not a code-compliant connection either way.
2) What does the insulated throat on the Bridgeport 236-USI do, and do I still need a bushing?
The insulated throat is a molded liner at the conduit opening that protects conductor insulation as wire is pulled through, so a separate insulating bushing is not added at that end. That is the difference between the 236-USI and a plain uninsulated connector like the Thomas & Betts 306, which is listed as non-insulated. On pulls with a lot of conductors or repeated re-pulls, the insulated throat is what keeps the jacket off a bare metal edge.
3) What should I use instead of an EMT set screw connector on a wet or vibrating equipment connection?
A set screw EMT connector like the Bridgeport 236-USI is intended for rigid EMT runs in dry commercial and industrial installations. Where the whip has to flex or the location is wet, a liquidtight fitting is the right family instead - for example the RACO 4734 SWIVEL-LOK, a 1 inch Type B liquidtight multi-position connector in nylon. The multi-position design lets you aim the conduit entry, and the liquidtight design addresses moisture at the connection, neither of which a set screw EMT connector does.
4) Can a Thomas & Betts 306 Tite-Bite connector be used in place of a Bridgeport 236-USI EMT set screw connector?
No. The Bridgeport 236-USI is a set screw connector made for EMT (electrical metallic tubing), while the Thomas & Betts 306 is a straight Tite-Bite connector for 1 inch FMC (flexible metal conduit). The raceway type is different, so the two are not interchangeable on the same run. The 236-USI also has an insulated throat; the T&B 306 is non-insulated, which matters if your spec calls for throat insulation to protect conductors at the box entry.
5) Malleable iron vs die cast EMT connectors, which should I spec for an industrial job?
Malleable iron, which is what the Bridgeport 236-USI uses, holds up to impact and over-torquing better than a zinc die cast body, which is why it gets specified in plants, parking structures, and other areas where the raceway takes abuse or where a spec sheet calls out steel or malleable fittings. For light commercial interior work a die cast set screw connector does the same electrical job. If the drawing says malleable iron, a die cast fitting is a substitution, not an equal.
6) How does the Bridgeport 236-USI attach to a box or enclosure?
It lands in a standard knockout: the threaded hub passes through the knockout from outside and a locknut draws it tight from inside, while the set screw clamps the EMT on the other end. That makes it compatible with ordinary steel boxes and enclosures with the matching trade size knockout, including welded square boxes like the RACO 232MSCM 4 in. square with M bracket. Confirm the knockout trade size matches the connector before ordering.
7) Does the Bridgeport 236-USI maintain equipment grounding continuity through the conduit?
Yes. It is a metallic fitting, malleable iron with a set screw that bites the tubing and a locknut connection at the enclosure, so it carries the raceway bonding path the same way any listed steel EMT fitting does. The insulated throat is plastic at the wire opening only and does not break that path. If your design still requires a separate bonding point at the service or for intersystem bonding, that is a different device, such as the Burndy BDTIBB BONDIT wall mount intersystem bonding connector for #14 to #2 AWG.
8) Do I still need separate EMT connectors if I use a box that has a connector built in?
Not for the knockouts the box already covers. A Bridgeport 236-USI set screw connector is a loose fitting that terminates an EMT run into a box or enclosure. Some boxes integrate the termination instead - the RACO 232MSCM is a 4 inch square welded box, 2-1/8 inch deep, with a STAB-IT connector and an M bracket. On that box the integral connector handles its designated cable entry, so loose connectors are only needed for the additional EMT runs entering other knockouts.
9) Will a Bridgeport 236-USI connector satisfy an intersystem bonding requirement at the service?
No - different purpose. The 236-USI is a malleable iron EMT set screw connector whose job is to terminate conduit and maintain electrical continuity of the raceway. Intersystem bonding at the service needs a dedicated termination device such as the Burndy BDTIBB BONDIT wall mount intersystem bonding connector, stainless steel, rated for #14 through #2 AWG conductors. Use the Bridgeport fitting for the conduit termination and the BONDIT for the bonding conductor terminations.
10) What is the exact part number for the Bridgeport malleable iron insulated throat EMT connector?
Order it as Bridgeport Fittings 236-USI. The USI suffix is the insulated throat version, so if a submittal or an existing install calls out an insulated set screw EMT connector from Bridgeport, that is the designation to match on the order.
