Blackburn ALS6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn ALS6 aluminum lug accept?
The ALS6 is sized for 1/0 conductor, listed for both 1/0 ACSR and 1/0 stranded AWG. It is a compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the conductor rather than tightened with a setscrew, and it will only hold the conductor range it is stamped for. Running 2/0 or #2 through it is not a substitution you can make by adjusting the crimp.
2) Can I use the Blackburn ALS6 aluminum lug on copper conductor?
The ALS6 body is aluminum and it is specified for 1/0 ACSR and 1/0 stranded aluminum conductor. For a copper feeder, order a copper compression lug rated for copper rather than crimping copper into an aluminum barrel. If your termination point is a copper or plated bus and the conductor is aluminum, that side is handled by the bolted joint and the appropriate joint compound, not by the lug material.
3) Do I need a crimp tool for the Blackburn ALS6, or can it be installed with hand tools?
It is a compression lug, so it requires a hydraulic or battery crimp tool with the correct die for a 1/0 aluminum barrel. No setscrew, no wrench-only option. If your crew is not carrying a compression tool on the job, a mechanical setscrew lug is the type to spec instead. Mounting bolts and washers for the two-hole pad are a separate line item.
4) What is the overall length of the Blackburn ALS6 lug and why does it matter in a tight enclosure?
Overall length is 5-3/4 inches. That is a long barrel-and-tongue for a 1/0 lug, so check your gutter space and bending radius before committing: in a shallow panel or a crowded pull box the lug can crowd the conductor's bend and push you over the allowable wire-bending space at the terminal.
5) Is the Blackburn ALS6 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each. On a three-phase-plus-neutral termination you are ordering four, plus a spare if the crimp is one you cannot afford to redo in the field. Manufacturer part number is ALS6.
6) Where is the Blackburn ALS6 lug manufactured?
Country of origin is Mexico. That is the detail institutional and government procurement buyers usually need on record for domestic-preference documentation, so it is worth capturing on the submittal.
