Raintight EMT fittings that don’t suck?

[MnSpark]

What’s your preference on brand of raintight EMT fittings that don’t suck? Seems like a lot of them need to be taken apart to go together right. My searches didn’t turn up much. Bridgeport and T&B were mentioned as ok…..

Whats your favorite brand?
Whats a brand to definitely avoid?

Looking to buy a few boxes of 1/2”, and don’t want to be swearing at every fitting!

Thanks!

I always had an easier time with Bridgeport although I always through away the thin piece of plastic that goes inside the fitting.

They all pretty much suck, but it sucks much less if the pipe is properly deburred before you try to insert it in the fitting. Cut it square, and smooth the the outer edges with a file (deburr the inside too, obviously). Or if you have a lot to do, use something like this:

REMS REG 10-42 Reamer/Deburrer Set (1/2- 1 5/8") (REGULAR PRICE $249.00)
