Blackburn ADR25-21 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What conductor range does the Blackburn ADR25-21 connector take?
The ADR25-21 is sized for conductors from 250 KCMIL down to a minimum of 6 AWG stranded, per the product marking. It has two conductor ports, so you're joining or tapping two runs, not three.
2) Can I use this Blackburn connector on copper wire, or aluminum only?
It's dual-rated, so it's listed for both copper and aluminum conductors, including a copper-to-aluminum transition in the same connector. The body is aluminum with a tin-plated surface, which is what makes the copper contact acceptable and slows galvanic corrosion at the joint.
3) Is the Blackburn ADR25-21 UL listed for code inspection?
Yes. It carries UL file E9809, which is what an inspector will want to see on a mechanical lug in a panel or gutter.
4) What is the 3/8 inch spacing on this connector referring to?
3/8 inch is the conductor spacing, the center clearance between the two ports. It matters when you're stacking connectors in a tight enclosure or on a bus, because it sets how close the two runs sit and whether you have room to get a wrench on the set screws.
5) Do I need a crimp tool for the Blackburn ADR25-21?
No crimper needed. It's a mechanical connector, so the conductors are captured by set screws and torqued with a hex key or driver. That's the practical reason contractors pick this style for service work and repairs where you can't get a hydraulic crimper into the enclosure.
6) Is the ADR25-21 sold as a pair or individually?
Individually. The selling unit is each, so one connector per order line. On a three-phase splice plus neutral you'd need four.
7) Will tin plating hold up in a damp or outdoor gutter?
Tin plating over the aluminum body is there for corrosion resistance and is the standard finish for damp and industrial locations. Keep in mind the connector itself isn't an enclosure, so it still needs to sit inside a box, gutter, or pedestal rated for the environment. Use an oxide-inhibiting compound on aluminum conductors per normal practice.
8) What is the exact part number and who makes the ADR25-21?
Blackburn ADR25-21 is the manufacturer part number, an aluminum dual-rated mechanical connector for 250 KCMIL. Country of origin is Mexico.
