Blackburn H20HPS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn H20HPS split-bolt connector made of, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The H20HPS is a tin plated aluminum split-bolt connector with a spacer. Tin plated aluminum bodies are the type used for aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper mechanical taps and splices, since the plating separates the dissimilar metals at the contact surface. Use it with an oxide inhibitor on aluminum conductors, as is standard practice for aluminum mechanical connectors.
2) What does the spacer in the Blackburn H20HPS split bolt do?
The spacer sits between the two conductors inside the bolt, keeping the run and the tap separated rather than pressed directly against each other. That is what makes this style suitable for mixed copper and aluminum connections, where you do not want the two metals in direct contact. A plain split bolt without the spacer clamps both conductors together and is intended for like-metal connections.
3) Is the H20HPS a mechanical connector or a compression connector?
Mechanical. The H20HPS tightens with a wrench on the split bolt, so no hydraulic crimp tool or die set is needed. That matters on service and retrofit work where you are tapping an existing run in a box or handhole and cannot get a crimper in. Compression connectors are the better choice where the connection has to be permanent and tamper resistant.
4) What is the correct part number to order the Blackburn 20HPS split bolt, and where is it made?
Order it as Blackburn H20HPS. It is the 20HPS packed for the Canadian market, and country of origin is Mexico. Distributors cross referencing an old 20HPS callout on a bill of material should expect the H prefix on the Canadian pack.
5) Does the Blackburn H20HPS come in a bag or is it sold individually?
It is sold each, so you order the exact count you need for the job rather than a fixed bag quantity. The part is packed for sale in Canada under the same H20HPS catalog number.
