Blackburn AMTD50045 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes will the Blackburn AMTD50045 multi-tap connector accept?
The AMTD50045 takes conductors from 500 kcmil down to 4 AWG in each of its ports, so one block can handle a large feeder tap and smaller branch conductors together. It is a 5 port, 2 sided design, meaning ports are split between both sides of the body rather than all in a single row.
2) Is the AMTD50045 rated for 600 volt service in a panel or gutter?
Rated 600 V, which covers standard commercial and industrial power distribution work up to that class. It also carries UL file E9809, so it can be used where an inspector wants a listed tap connector.
3) Can I use this Blackburn connector with both copper and aluminum conductors?
The body is aluminum, which is what makes these blocks suitable for aluminum as well as copper feeders when installed with the appropriate compound and torque. Check the conductor marking stamped on the block itself before terminating, since the AL/CU marking is the governing statement for any given unit.
4) Does the AMTD50045 come with an insulating cover, or do I need one?
It is sold as a bare mechanical tap block, one each, in black. Nothing about an insulating cover is included in the part, so if the installation needs the splice insulated you will need to order a separate cover or use tape or heat shrink to insulate the finished tap.
5) Why choose a 5 port two sided tap block instead of a single row multi-tap connector?
A two sided block puts ports on opposite faces, which lets branch conductors leave in two directions instead of all bending the same way. In a tight gutter or panel wireway that usually means less conductor bending radius trouble. If all your taps run out one side, a single sided block of the same AWG range is the simpler choice.
6) Is this Blackburn tap connector made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements, where the origin has to be documented on submittals.
