Bridgeport Fittings 3838ASP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What cable sizes will the Bridgeport Whipper-Snap 3/8" duplex connector accept?
The 3/8 inch trade size Whipper-Snap duplex connector takes 14/2 through 10/2 AC/MC cable, which works out to a .38 to .59 inch outside diameter. Steel or aluminum armor is fine, including MCIA. Because it's a duplex, it lands two cables in a single knockout, so it's the fitting to reach for when you're running more homeruns into a panel or box than you have knockouts for.
2) Is this connector UL Listed and does it satisfy NEC grounding requirements?
UL Listed under file E20534, and rated to NEMA FB1. Bridgeport states the fitting is suitable for maintaining grounding continuity when installed in accordance with the NEC, so on an inspected commercial or multi-family job the armor path through the connector is acceptable as installed. It's manufactured in the United States, which also covers Buy American requirements on public work.
3) What should I use instead of the Bridgeport Whipper-Snap duplex connector if the run is liquidtight flexible conduit?
The Whipper-Snap 3838ASP is built for AC/MC cable, not flexible conduit. For a liquidtight run, the RACO 4734 is a SWIVEL-LOK Series 1 inch Type B liquidtight multi-position connector in nylon, supplied in packs of 100. Choose by the raceway you are actually terminating: armored or metal-clad cable takes the 3/8 inch Bridgeport snap-in, liquidtight flex takes the RACO liquidtight fitting.
4) Can a Thomas & Betts 306 Tite-Bite connector be used in place of a Bridgeport 3838ASP for terminating MC cable?
No. The Bridgeport Whipper-Snap 3838ASP is a 3/8 inch trade size duplex AC/MC cable connector with an insulated throat, sized for 14/2 to 10/2 steel or aluminum AC/MC/MCIA cable at .38 to .59 inch diameter, and it lands two cables in one knockout. The Thomas & Betts 306 is a straight Tite-Bite connector for 1 inch flexible metal conduit and is non-insulated. Different trade size, different raceway type, and no insulated throat, so it is not an MC cable substitute.
5) How does a snap-in AC/MC connector install compared with a screw-type or locknut fitting?
There's no locknut and no inside-the-box work. The patented double-snap design means you push the fitting into the knockout until it snaps, and the cable snaps into the fitting, which Bridgeport puts at one third the install and removal time of a traditional connector. That matters most on retrofit and tenant work where you're reaching into a crowded panel. A screw-type fitting is still the choice when you need to be able to loosen and reposition the cable after the fact; a snap-in is meant to stay.
6) Is the 3M SC0001 stem connector an alternative to the Bridgeport 3838ASP?
No, they solve different problems. The 3M SC0001 is a stem connector in the SC series rated up to 35 kV for 2 and 1 AWG conductors, which is medium-voltage cable accessory work. The Bridgeport 3838ASP is a 3/8 inch zinc die cast duplex snap-in fitting that secures AC/MC cable to a box and maintains grounding continuity when installed per the NEC. One joins conductors; the other terminates cable at an enclosure.
7) If a box already has STAB-IT connectors built in, do I still need Bridgeport Whipper-Snap connectors?
Not for the cables landing in that box. The RACO 232MSCM is a 4 inch square welded box, 2-1/8 inch deep, with an M bracket and integral STAB-IT connectors, so cable clamps into the box itself. The Bridgeport Whipper-Snap 3838ASP is the separate fitting used where a knockout has no built-in clamp, taking two 14/2 to 10/2 AC/MC cables through one 3/8 inch opening with an insulated throat.
8) Do I need a separate anti-short bushing with these connectors?
Not for throat protection. The insulated throat is built into the fitting and is rated to 105 degrees C, so it does the abrasion-protection job a red-head bushing would. Follow whatever your inspector and the cable manufacturer require for the specific cable type you're terminating.
