Bridgeport Fittings 981 Parallel Conduit Clamp 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The BRIDGEPORT FITTINGS 981 is a 1/2 inch parallel-type conduit clamp designed to secure rigid metal conduit (RMC), intermediate metal conduit (IMC), and electrical metallic tubing (EMT) in parallel runs along a surface or structural support. This clamp holds conduit flat against a wall, beam, or strut channel without angling or offsetting the run. Electricians use this fitting in commercial and industrial installations where conduit must be routed in close parallel formation. At 0.55 pounds per unit, it is a compact, lightweight fastener built for repetitive use across large conduit layouts.

The 981 clamp fits 1/2 inch trade size conduit and is suited for both new construction and retrofit electrical work. It is commonly installed in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and utility spaces where RMC, IMC, or EMT conduit runs parallel to ceilings, walls, or structural steel members. The parallel-clamp design keeps conduit flush and aligned, which is important in high-density wiring environments where spacing and organization are critical to code compliance and future serviceability.

Key Features

• Parallel clamp design secures conduit flush against mounting surfaces without offset
• Compatible with 1/2 inch rigid metal conduit (RMC), IMC, and EMT
• Lightweight at 0.55 pounds per unit, practical for bulk installation tasks
• Classified as a beam, rail, edge, and parallel clamp for strut and channel applications
• Suitable for commercial, industrial, and utility electrical installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch trade size rigid metal conduit (RMC), intermediate metal conduit (IMC), and electrical metallic tubing (EMT).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits in the work area before securing conduit runs. Verify that the mounting surface or strut channel is rated for the load before fastening clamps. Do not overtighten fasteners, as this can deform the conduit or damage the clamp seating.
