Blackburn RC266 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor does the Blackburn RC266 compression sleeve splice?
The RC266 is a full tension aluminum compression sleeve sized for 266 ACSR conductor. It joins two conductor ends, so it is a two-conductor splice, not a tap or a terminal.
2) Is the Blackburn RC266 a full tension splice or just a mechanical hold?
Full tension. The RC266 is built to carry the rated strength of the 266 ACSR conductor across the joint, which is what you need on an in-span line splice rather than a slack jumper connection.
3) Does the Blackburn RC266 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 aluminum or aluminum and copper bare overhead conductors. That is the spec most utility and line contractor drawings call out for a splice like this.
4) Can I install the Blackburn RC266 with bolts or a set screw instead of crimping?
No. It is a compression-only connection, so it has to be installed with a hydraulic compression tool and the correct die for the sleeve. There are no bolts or set screws on it. If you want a bolted or mechanical joint, you need a different style of splice.
5) How long is the RC266 aluminum splice sleeve?
It measures 18-3/4 inches. That length matters on the job because you need clear working room in the span and a compression tool with enough reach to walk the crimps end to end.
6) Is the RC266 splice insulated, or do I need to cover it after installation?
It is a bare sleeve with no insulation, intended for bare overhead conductor. If your application needs covering, that has to be handled separately with tape or a cover; nothing comes on the sleeve.
