Bridgeport's Mighty-Merge(TM) 4157-DC Transition Fitting Saves Labor and Material Costs in Joining EMT and AC/MC Conduit without a Junction Box
Mighty-Merge(TM) 4157-DC is faster and more profitable than traditional installation methods
STRATFORD, Conn. - Bridgeport Fittings has introduced the Mighty-Merge(TM) 4157-DC transition fitting that will save contractors the labor and material cost of installing and bonding a junction box, or the assembly time to make up a fitting that provides the necessary connection. The Mighty-Merge(TM) solution is considerably faster and more profitable than traditional junction box installation.
Ideal for new construction and retrofits in schools and commercial building applications, the 4157-DC safely and securely transitions 14/2 to 10/3 AC/MC cables to EMT conduit without damaging conductor insulation.
With the Mighty-Merge(TM) fitting, installers simply remove the desired length of armor that will allow for the exposed conductors to reach the device box or enclosure. The required inspection holes will provide for a positive visual end stop for both armor and recommended anti-short bushings. Installers then tighten screws for cable between armor convolutions and for ¾" EMT.
The 4157-DC is part of Bridgeport's exclusive and innovative "Mighty-B"(TM) line of high-quality, high-performance products focused on getting a contractor's job "done fast, done right."
