Blackburn ATL8-10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn ATL8-10 compression lug take?
The ATL8-10 is sized for 8 AWG conductor, and it's a compression (crimp) terminal, not a set-screw mechanical lug, so it needs a die crimp tool to install. The barrel is aluminum bodied and color coded blue for die identification.
2) Can I use an aluminum compression lug on copper wire?
The ATL8-10 has an aluminum barrel and is intended for aluminum conductor. Aluminum-bodied compression terminals of this style are dual rated AL/CU only when the terminal is marked that way, so if you are terminating 8 AWG copper, buy a copper compression lug or a terminal marked AL9CU instead of assuming this one covers it.
3) Is this lug rated for medium voltage cable terminations?
Yes, it carries a 35 kV voltage rating, which puts it in range for medium voltage shielded cable work as well as ordinary 600 V service and grounding terminations. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
4) Should I use a compression lug or a mechanical set-screw lug for an 8 AWG aluminum tap?
A compression terminal like the ATL8-10 is crimped once with the matching die and cannot loosen, which is why it's preferred on permanent terminations and anywhere the connection won't be re-torqued. A mechanical set-screw lug installs with just a hex key and can be reused or resized, which suits field work and temporary or serviceable connections. If you don't own or rent a crimper for the blue die, go mechanical.
5) What does the blue color on the Blackburn ATL8-10 mean?
Blue is the die/color code on the barrel. On compression terminations the color tells the installer which crimp die and number of crimps the manufacturer specifies, so match the blue code on your tool chart rather than eyeballing the crimp.
6) Is the ATL8-10 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
It sells each, single lug per unit, so you can buy the exact count for a panel change or a cable termination kit rather than a full bag. Manufacturer part number is ATL8-10, made in Mexico.
