Blackburn AC350-BB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn AC350-BB compression splice take?
The AC350-BB is sized for 350 aluminum conductor, joining two cable ends in one sleeve. It is a two-conductor splice, meaning one cable in each end, not a tap or a multi-port connector.
2) Is this splice insulated, or do I have to tape or heat shrink it after crimping?
It comes bare. The AC350-BB carries no insulation, so the joint has to be insulated in the field with tape, heat shrink, or a cold shrink sleeve appropriate to your voltage class.
3) Is the AC350-BB a full tension splice or just a mechanical butt connector?
Full tension. It is an 11 inch aluminum compression splice built to carry the conductor's tensile load, which is why the barrel is long rather than a short butt sleeve. Short non-tension sleeves are for slack spans and pull boxes; this one is for runs where the splice has to take pull.
4) Does the Blackburn AC350-BB meet a recognized connector standard for utility work?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering electric connectors for use between aluminum and copper conductors. That is the standard utility and inspection specs commonly reference for compression splices on distribution and service conductors.
5) Is this splice for aluminum conductor only, or can I use it on copper?
Aluminum. The AC350-BB is an aluminum body splice intended for aluminum conductor. Copper runs should be spliced with a copper compression sleeve instead, and any aluminum to copper transition needs a connector rated for that combination.
6) Do I need a hydraulic crimper for this, or can I use a mechanical bolted connector instead?
This is a compression connection, so it requires a die set crimp tool sized for the connector, typically hydraulic at 350 conductor. If you have no crimper on site, the alternative is a bolted mechanical splice rather than this part, but a mechanical connector will not give you the full tension performance of the 11 inch compression barrel.
7) How is the AC350-BB sold, individually or in bags?
Each. Splices are ordered one at a time, so count one per joint plus spares, since a mis-crimped compression sleeve cannot be reused.
8) Where is the Blackburn AC350-BB manufactured?
Mexico. That matters on public jobs where country of origin has to be documented for submittals or Buy America review.
