Blackburn AMTS4142 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes will the Blackburn AMTS4142 multi-tap connector accept?
The AMTS4142 takes conductors from 4 AWG down to 14 AWG, in two ports. That range covers most branch-circuit and feeder tap work, so you can land a 4 AWG run and tap smaller 12 or 14 AWG conductors in the same connector.
2) Is the AMTS4142 rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes, the Blackburn AMTS4142 tap connector carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard commercial and industrial power distribution up to 600 V. It is UL listed under file E9809.
3) Does the AMTS4142 take both conductors in from the same side?
Yes. It is a same-side entry two-port tap, so both conductors enter from one face of the body. That matters in a shallow gutter or a crowded panel where you cannot get at the back of the connector, and it keeps both wire tails running the same direction.
4) Do I still need insulation over this tap connector?
Yes. The AMTS4142 is a bare mechanical aluminum tap body, not an insulated device, so the splice has to be insulated in the field with tape, a snap-on insulating cover, or by enclosing it in a listed box or gutter. Plan that material into the job.
5) Should I use a two-port multi-tap like this or a split-bolt for tapping a feeder?
A split-bolt works for joining two conductors of similar size and needs full taping. A two-port mechanical tap like the AMTS4142 is the better choice when you are tapping dissimilar sizes, anywhere from 4 AWG to 14 AWG, because each port is set independently with a set screw and you can re-open it later. Same-side entry also keeps the wiring tidy in a gutter. For more than two conductors off one run, step up to a power distribution block instead.
6) Is the AMTS4142 sold individually or in a multi-pack?
It is sold each. Order one per tap point; there is no bundled pack quantity, so count your splices and order that many.
7) What country is the Blackburn AMTS4142 made in?
Manufactured in Mexico. That is the detail procurement teams usually need for domestic-preference or trade-compliance paperwork on a submittal.
