Bridgeport Fittings BPF-38ASP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What cable sizes does the Bridgeport 38ASP 3/8" snap-in connector accept?
The 38ASP takes 14/2 through 10/3 cable, with an outside diameter range of .43 to .61 inch. It is rated for steel or aluminum AC, MC, MCI-A, HCF and HCFMCI-A cable. If your cable OD falls outside .43 to .61 inch, this is the wrong connector for that run.
2) Do I need to thread this connector into the box, or does it just snap in?
It snaps in. The E-Z Lock design pushes straight into a 3/8 inch knockout with no locknut to thread on from inside the box, which is why electricians reach for it on retrofit work and tight panel cavities where you cannot get a hand behind the knockout.
3) Will a 3/8 inch snap-in connector fit the knockouts on a standard steel device box?
Yes. The 38ASP is a 3/8 inch trade size fitting, which is the standard cable knockout size on steel device boxes, panels and fixture canopies. Trade size 3/8 refers to the knockout opening, not the cable diameter, so match the knockout first and then confirm your cable falls in the .43 to .61 inch range this connector clamps.
4) Is this connector UL Listed, and does it satisfy the grounding requirement for MC cable?
UL Listed under file E20534, and rated to NEMA FB-1. Installed per the NEC, it maintains grounding continuity between the cable armor and the enclosure, so no separate bonding jumper across the fitting is needed. That is the point inspectors look at on an MC termination.
5) Can I use this snap-in connector with flexible metal conduit or NM cable instead of MC?
No. The 38ASP is listed for steel or aluminum AC, MC, MCI-A, HCF and HCFMCI-A cable at .43 to .61 inch diameter. For flexible metal conduit you need an FMC connector, and for NM/Romex you need a connector listed for nonmetallic sheathed cable. Using this one outside that cable list is not a compliant termination.
6) Can I use this connector in a high-temperature location, like a fixture or a boiler room junction box?
The insulated throat on the 38ASP is rated to 105 C, which covers the 90 C conductor insulation used on standard MC cable and gives headroom in warm mechanical spaces and fixture terminations. The throat also protects the conductors from abrasion where they turn into the box.
7) What is the difference between an insulated throat connector and a plain one for MC cable?
An insulated throat puts a smooth ring at the point where conductors exit the fitting, so the cut armor cannot chafe the insulation as the cable is pulled or flexed. On the 38ASP that insulator is rated to 105 C. Many jurisdictions and specs call for insulated throat fittings on MC terminations; a non-insulated connector relies on an anti-short bushing being installed correctly instead.
8) Is the Bridgeport 38ASP made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin is the United States, and Bridgeport Fittings is an American manufacturing company. That matters on federally funded and many institutional projects where domestic sourcing is written into the spec.
9) What is the Bridgeport 38ASP made of, and will it hold up in a damp commercial space?
Zinc die cast with a ball burnished finish. That is a solid metal body, not steel-and-plastic, and the burnished surface resists the light corrosion you get in a parking garage or mechanical room. It is a dry/damp location steel-box fitting, not a raintight or wet-location conduit hub.
10) How much room does this fitting need inside the box?
The connector body measures 1.421 inches long by 0.469 inch wide, so plan for roughly an inch and a half of clearance behind the knockout on the cable side. On a shallow device box with several MC homeruns landing, that length is what decides how much conductor you can fold back.
