Blackburn AC6-TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn AC6-TB take?
It is the size 6 splice in Blackburn's AC-TB aluminum compression tension splice line, ordered as part number AC6-TB. Splice barrels are size-specific, so a different conductor size needs the matching catalog number rather than this one.
2) Does this aluminum compression splice meet ANSI C119.4 for utility and service work?
Yes. The AC6-TB is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and aluminum or aluminum and copper conductors, which is the spec most utility and commercial service work calls out for underground and overhead splices.
3) Is the AC6-TB insulated, or do I still have to tape or sleeve the joint?
It is a bare, uninsulated barrel, no insulation material is supplied. Any insulation or re-jacketing at the splice (tape, heat shrink, or a cold shrink sleeve) has to be ordered separately and applied after crimping.
4) Can I use this Blackburn splice on copper conductor, or aluminum only?
Aluminum. The AC6-TB is an aluminum compression tension splice, so both ends should be aluminum conductor. For an aluminum-to-copper transition you want a connector specifically rated for dual-rated AL/CU service, not this splice body.
5) Do I need a hydraulic crimper for the Blackburn AC6-TB?
Yes, it is a compression connector, so it is installed with a die-type crimp tool rather than a wrench. Nothing threaded or bolted is involved, and no hardware comes with the splice.
6) Is the AC6-TB sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each, so the quantity you order is the number of splice barrels you get. Plan one per conductor joint, which on a three-phase run plus neutral means four.
