Bridgeport Fittings 251-RT2XL Extra Long Raintight Screw-On Compression Connector, 3/4" Zinc

The Bridgeport Fittings 251-RT2XL is an extra long raintight screw-on compression connector engineered for 3/4" conduit applications that demand a secure, weather-resistant termination. Constructed from zinc, this connector delivers durable, corrosion-resistant performance for conduit connections into boxes, panels, and enclosures. Its extended (XL) body length provides additional reach beyond standard-length connectors, which is useful where extra depth is needed to clear enclosure walls or thick mounting surfaces. The screw-on compression connection method creates a tight, reliable mechanical grip on the conduit while helping maintain a raintight seal, supporting installations exposed to outdoor weather and wet conditions. Bridgeport Fittings designs the 251-RT2XL to provide dependable, professional-grade performance for electricians working on both new construction and retrofit electrical projects.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 3/4" sizing fits standard conduit runs for straightforward, code-compliant installation.
  • Durable Zinc Construction: Zinc body construction resists corrosion and holds up to demanding indoor and outdoor electrical environments.
  • Screw-On Compression Connection: A screw-on compression fitting design creates a firm, reliable mechanical connection to conduit.
  • Extra Long (XL) Body: The extended-length body offers additional reach for deeper wall or enclosure penetrations compared to standard-length connectors.
  • Raintight Design: Engineered to maintain a raintight seal, supporting use on conduit runs exposed to outdoor weather and moisture.
  • Secure Conduit Termination: The compression-style connection reduces the chance of conduit pull-out or loosening, supporting a stable, long-term electrical connection.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Build: Zinc construction helps the connector withstand moisture exposure typical of outdoor raceway installations.

Technical Specifications

  • Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications.

Typical Applications

  • Outdoor and Wet-Location Conduit Connections
  • Conduit-to-Enclosure and Panel Terminations
  • Outdoor Lighting and Power Circuit Wiring
  • Commercial and Residential Electrical Installations
  • New Construction and Retrofit Wiring Projects

Bridgeport Fittings 251-RT2XL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Bridgeport Fittings 251-RT2XL extra long raintight compression connector come in?
Two trade sizes are offered: 3/4 inch as part number 251-RT2XL and 1 inch as part number 252-RT2XL. Both are the extra long (XL) raintight screw-on compression body in zinc.
2) Can I use this Bridgeport compression connector outdoors in a wet location?
It's built as a raintight fitting, so it's intended for conduit runs exposed to outdoor weather and moisture, including conduit-to-enclosure and panel terminations on outdoor lighting and power circuits. The zinc body resists corrosion in those wet-location raceway installs.
3) What does the extra long (XL) body on the 251-RT2XL actually get me?
Extra reach. The extended body runs longer than a standard compression connector, so the threaded end still lands with enough thread to take a locknut when you're going through a thick enclosure wall, an insulated wall, or a deep mounting surface. On a normal-thickness box wall a standard-length connector is fine, so the XL is the one you pull when depth is the problem.
4) Is this a compression fitting or a set-screw fitting?
Compression. It's a screw-on compression connector: the gland nut tightens down on a compression ring that grips the conduit all the way around, which is what lets it hold a raintight seal. A set-screw connector bites at one point and is not raintight, so it's for dry indoor locations only.
5) Is the Thomas and Betts 306 a substitute for a 1 inch Bridgeport 252-RT2XL?
No. The Bridgeport 252-RT2XL is the 1 inch size of the extra-long raintight screw-on compression connector, built in zinc for wet-location conduit terminations. The Thomas and Betts 306 is a straight Tite-Bite connector for 1 inch FMC, non-insulated - it is sized for flexible metal conduit, not for a compression termination on rigid raceway, and it is not offered as a raintight fitting. Same trade size, different conduit type and different sealing intent.
6) What should I use instead of the 251-RT2XL compression connector when the run is flexible liquidtight conduit rather than EMT?
The Bridgeport 251-RT2XL series is a raintight screw-on compression connector with a zinc body, made to terminate rigid conduit into boxes and enclosures. If the raceway is liquidtight flexible conduit, the RACO 4734 is the one to look at instead: it is a SWIVEL-LOK series 1 inch Type B liquidtight multi-position connector in nylon, so it accepts the flexible liquidtight jacket and swivels to line up at an angle. Two different conduit systems, so the fittings are not interchangeable on the same run.
7) Will a compression connector keep the conduit from pulling out of the box?
That's the point of the compression design. The ring clamps around the full circumference of the conduit, so it resists pull-out and loosening better than a single-point grip, which matters on exposed outdoor runs that see thermal movement and physical knocks.
8) I'm standardizing fittings across a property. Can I use the same connector indoors and out?
Yes, one part number covers both. The zinc raintight compression connector is used on indoor and outdoor electrical environments, new construction and retrofit alike, so you can stock 3/4 inch (251-RT2XL) and 1 inch (252-RT2XL) and use them for panel and enclosure terminations throughout a building instead of carrying separate wet- and dry-location fittings.
9) If I need the connector to swivel to meet an offset enclosure instead of reaching farther, what is the alternative?
The extra-long body on the Bridgeport 251-RT2XL solves reach - it gives added length to clear a thick wall or deep enclosure on a straight-in termination. It does not articulate. When the problem is angle rather than depth, the RACO 4734 SWIVEL-LOK multi-position connector in 1 inch Type B is the design that addresses it, letting the fitting be positioned to meet an offset entry. Note it is a nylon liquidtight fitting, so it belongs on flexible liquidtight conduit.
10) Can I use a 3M SC0001 connector anywhere the Bridgeport 251-RT2XL is called out?
No - they do the opposite jobs. The Bridgeport 251-RT2XL is a raceway fitting: it terminates conduit into a box or panel and seals that entry against rain. The 3M SC0001 is a stem connector in the SC series rated up to 35 kV for 2 and 1 AWG conductors, so it joins conductors, not conduit. A medium-voltage conductor connector will never satisfy a conduit entry detail.
11) Why zinc instead of a nylon or plastic connector?
Zinc holds up to corrosion and to the mechanical abuse of outdoor raceway work, and it keeps the fitting metallic for a continuous raceway. If you need a non-metallic body instead, the RACO 4734 SWIVEL-LOK liquidtight connector is nylon, but that's a flex fitting rather than a compression connector for rigid conduit.
12) Do I need a locknut with the 251-RT2XL, or is one included?
Plan the job around the connector itself. What the fitting gives you is the compression gland and ring for the conduit side plus a threaded hub for the box side; the description doesn't itemize loose hardware, so if you're bidding a panel full of terminations, count your locknuts separately rather than assuming them.
13) I need a 4 inch square box with the connector already built in - does Bridgeport's 251-RT2XL cover that?
No. The 251-RT2XL and its 1 inch mate the 252-RT2XL are loose connectors only; you supply the box or enclosure they land in. If you want the connector integral to the box, the RACO 232MSCM is a 4 inch square welded box in the STAB-IT series with the connector built in, an M bracket, and a 2-1/8 inch depth. That is a box purchase, not a fitting purchase.
