Electrical News - June 2017.indd 1 One of the issues
faced by contractors on
solar installation projects
is that many non-metallic
combiner boxes have a
wall thickness in excess
of 3/8 inches, leaving not
enough threads on raintight
connectors to attach to
these thicker walls.
But now, using
Bridgeport’s Mighty-
Seal 250-RT2XL fittings,
contractors will have
enough threads on their
raintight connectors to
attach to these thicker
walls and still have enough
threads left over for a
grounding bushing, if
required.
Bridgeport Fittings’
new extra-long, raintight
connectors are available in
½”, ¾” and 1” trade sizes.
Bridgeport’s extra-
long fittings are part of
Bridgeport’s full range of
electrical solutions that can
be found in the “Wall of
Orange™” – a completely
stocked selection of
quality electrical fittings
and innovative product
solutions available
from major electrical
distributorships across the
U.S. and Canada.
