Bridgeport Fittings 290-XS EMT/Rigid to FMC Transition Coupling, Zinc-Plated Steel

The Bridgeport Fittings 290-XS EMT/Rigid to FMC Transition Coupling is engineered to connect EMT or rigid conduit to flexible metal conduit (FMC) within the same electrical raceway run. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, this coupling delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point for electricians who need to shift from rigid or EMT conduit sections to flexible metal conduit without breaking the raceway. The 290-XS Series is available in 2-1/2", 3-1/2", and 4" sizing, making it suitable for a range of larger commercial and industrial conduit runs where a clean transition between conduit types is required for equipment connections, motor whips, or areas requiring flexibility. This transition coupling eliminates the need for additional adapters when a raceway must change from rigid conduit types to flexible metal conduit near equipment, panels, or areas requiring extra flexibility. Sized for high-capacity electrical distribution systems, the 290-XS Series is commonly found in industrial plants, large commercial buildings, and heavy machinery installations where dependable, code-compliant transitions are essential.

Key Features

  • Trade Size Range: Available in 2-1/2", 3-1/2", and 4" sizes for connecting EMT or rigid conduit runs directly to flexible metal conduit (FMC).
  • Durable Construction: Zinc-plated steel body resists corrosion and stands up to the demands of industrial and commercial installation environments.
  • Versatile Transition Design: Accepts EMT or rigid conduit on one end and flexible metal conduit (FMC) on the other, simplifying raceway transitions without additional adapters.
  • Finish: Zinc-plated steel finish provides long-term protection against rust and wear in demanding electrical environments.
  • Steel Body: Solid steel construction provides the strength required for larger conduit systems carrying heavier conductor loads across the entire 290-XS size range.
  • Multiple Size Options: Choose from 2-1/2", 3-1/2", or 4" to match the specific conduit runs on your job, from mid-size commercial branch circuits up to large industrial distribution runs.

Bridgeport Fittings 287-XS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Bridgeport 290-XS coupling actually connect?
It joins EMT or rigid conduit on one end to flexible metal conduit (FMC) on the other, so a raceway can change conduit types at one fitting instead of stacking adapters. Typical spots are motor whips, equipment drops, and panelboard or switchgear runs where the last few feet need to flex.
2) Which part number do I order for a 4 inch EMT to flex transition?
290-XS is the 4 inch fitting. Step down one size and it's 289-XS for 3-1/2 inch, 287-XS for 2-1/2 inch. Size is selected on the order as a single option, and each size is its own part number.
3) Will this work for liquidtight flexible conduit on a rooftop unit?
No. The flex end of the 290-XS series is for flexible metal conduit (FMC, standard Greenfield), not liquidtight flexible metal conduit. A wet-location LFMC run needs a liquidtight transition fitting instead.
4) Is a zinc-plated steel coupling suitable for a damp industrial plant or is that outdoor rated?
The body is zinc-plated steel, which gives corrosion resistance for indoor commercial and industrial raceway work such as plants, data centers, and large commercial buildings. The plating is a rust and wear protection, not a wet-location or direct-burial claim, so for exposed outdoor or wet runs specify a fitting rated for that environment.
5) Can I use this coupling on rigid conduit, or is it EMT only?
Both. One end accepts either EMT or rigid metal conduit, which is why it's called a transition coupling rather than an EMT coupling. The other end takes flexible metal conduit.
6) Do I need a separate coupling and connector, or does this single fitting do the whole transition?
One fitting handles it. The 290-XS is built as a single transition coupling so you don't have to pair a conduit coupling with a separate flex connector, which keeps the raceway continuous at the changeover point.
7) Will the zinc finish match the other steel fittings already on my raceway?
Zinc-plated is the standard finish across the whole 290-XS size range, so a 4 inch fitting and a 2-1/2 inch fitting look the same and match typical zinc-plated steel EMT and rigid fittings already in a commercial raceway. Finish is not a selectable option here, only trade size.
