Blackburn AC10-TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn AC10-TB a full-tension splice for aluminum conductor?
Yes. The AC10-TB is an aluminum compression splice built to carry full conductor tension, so it can be used in a span rather than only in a slack loop. It joins two conductor ends, and the connection is made by die compression, not bolting or set screws.
2) Does the Blackburn AC10-TB meet ANSI C119.4 for connectors?
ANSI C119.4 is the standard the AC10-TB is built to, which is the electric connector performance standard for overhead and underground aluminum and copper conductor connections. That is the citation utility and institutional specs normally call out for compression splices.
3) Should I use a compression tension splice or a bolted split-bolt connector for this repair?
A compression splice like the AC10-TB is the right call when the joint has to hold mechanical tension in a span and stay maintenance free once crimped. A bolted connector is easier to install with hand tools and can be taken apart later, but it is a tap or slack-loop connection, not something to hang a span on. If the conductor is under tension, use the compression tension splice and a matched die set.
4) How long is the AC10-TB splice barrel, and will it clear my hardware?
The AC10-TB measures 7-1/4 inches, so you need at least that much straight run plus room for the compression tool head on either die location. Tight spots near deadends, armor rods or insulator hardware are where that length usually bites.
5) Is the AC10-TB insulated, or do I need to cover the splice?
No insulation on it. The AC10-TB is a bare compression splice, so any covering, sleeve, or tape required by the application has to be handled separately.
6) How is the Blackburn AC10-TB sold, by the each or in a box?
Sold as each, one splice per unit. Order the count you need for the job, remembering each splice takes two conductor ends, so a single conductor run needs one splice per break.
7) What part number and country of origin do I put on my submittal for this splice?
Manufacturer part number is AC10-TB, Blackburn brand, and it is made in Mexico. Those are the fields distributors and procurement teams usually need for a submittal or a Buy America review.
