Bridgeport Fittings 1/2" x 3/8" Die-Cast Zinc EMT Combination Coupling

Bridgeport Fittings' 1/2" x 3/8" EMT combination coupling is engineered to join electrical metallic tubing (EMT) conduit runs of two different trade sizes in a single, secure connection. Constructed from die-cast zinc for long-term corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, this combination coupling features a 1-screw set-screw connection on the 1/2" end for fast, tool-driven installation. Part of Bridgeport Fittings' Mighty-Merge® line of combination fittings, it streamlines transitions between mismatched EMT conduit sizes in commercial and industrial raceway systems. This combination coupling is designed for use wherever EMT conduit installations require a dependable transition between trade sizes without cutting or re-threading conduit.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1/2" x 3/8" combination sizing allows electricians to transition between EMT trade sizes without additional adapters.
  • Durable Construction: Die-cast zinc body construction resists corrosion and delivers long-lasting mechanical strength in conduit raceway installations.
  • Set-Screw Connection: A 1-screw design secures the 1/2" EMT conduit end with a simple, tool-driven screw connection for quick, reliable installation.
  • Combination Coupling Design: Purpose-built to merge two different EMT conduit trade sizes into one continuous raceway run, eliminating the need for separate reducers.
  • Compact Combination Fitting: Combines two trade sizes in a single fitting, reducing the number of separate couplings and reducers needed on the job.
  • Mighty-Merge® Series: Part of Bridgeport Fittings' Mighty-Merge® combination coupling line, engineered specifically for dependable trade-size transitions.

Bridgeport Fittings 280SP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Bridgeport Fittings 280SP combination coupling actually connect?
The 280SP joins a 1/2 inch EMT conduit run to a 3/8 inch EMT run in one fitting, so you don't have to stack a coupling and a reducer to change trade size. It's part of Bridgeport's Mighty-Merge combination coupling line, and it lets you transition without cutting or re-threading conduit.
2) How does the 1/2 x 3/8 EMT combination coupling secure the conduit, compression or set screw?
Set screw. The 280SP uses a 1-screw set-screw connection on the 1/2 inch end, driven with a standard screwdriver or nut driver. If your job calls for a wet-location or concrete-pour rated raceway, a set-screw fitting is the wrong choice there; you'd want a compression-style EMT fitting instead.
3) Can I use the 280SP to adapt 3/8 inch flexible conduit to 1/2 inch EMT?
No. The 280SP is an EMT-to-EMT combination coupling, both ends sized for electrical metallic tubing at 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch. For a flex-to-EMT transition you need a combination fitting specifically listed for flexible metal conduit on one end.
4) Is the Bridgeport 280SP coupling steel or zinc, and will it hold up in a damp mechanical room?
The body is die-cast zinc, chosen for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in raceway runs. It holds up in ordinary indoor commercial and industrial environments, including mechanical spaces, but as a set-screw fitting it isn't a raintight or concrete-tight assembly.
5) Do I need any extra hardware or a locknut to install the 280SP coupling?
No separate reducer or adapter is needed, that's the point of the fitting, and the set screw is built in. It is a conduit-to-conduit coupling, not a box connector, so it does not include a locknut and will not terminate into a panel or junction box knockout. For a box entry you still need an EMT connector.
