Blackburn WR1010 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn WR1010 H-tap connector accept?
The WR1010 takes a run of 1/0 to #4 ACSR and a tap of 2/0 to #4 stranded. It is a two-conductor tap, so one run and one tap per connector. If your cable falls outside that range the crimp will not hold properly, so size the conductors first.
2) Does the Blackburn WR1010 meet utility and ANSI requirements for connectors?
It is RUS Accepted and complies with ANSI C119.4, which is the standard covering sealed and non-sealed connectors for underground and above-ground conductor connections. That combination is what utility and co-op specs usually call for on a compression tap.
3) Is the WR1010 a bolted tap or does it need a crimp tool?
Compression only. There is no bolt or set screw, so you need the correct hydraulic or battery crimp tool and die for an H-tap of this size. Budget for tooling if your crew is used to bolted split-bolt connectors.
4) Will the WR1010 aluminum H-tap work on copper conductors?
It is an aluminum-bodied H-tap intended for aluminum conductors, including ACSR on the run side. For copper-to-copper or copper-to-aluminum work, specify a connector rated AL9CU or a copper compression tap instead; using an aluminum-only body on copper is not a listed combination.
5) Is the Blackburn WR1010 tap connector insulated, or do I need to cover it after crimping?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the connector body. On an energized or accessible installation you will need to insulate or re-jacket the finished tap yourself with tape, a cover, or shrink, per your job spec.
6) Can I use the WR1010 H-tap on 90 degree C rated cable?
Yes. The connector is rated for service up to 90 degrees C, so it matches THHN/XHHW-type conductors run at a 90 degree C rating.
7) How much room do I need in the enclosure or on the pole for this H-tap?
The WR1010 body is 1-3/4 inches long, so allow for that plus the crimp tool head clearance on either side. In tight gutters or pedestals, check the tool jaw swing before you commit to the location.
8) Are Blackburn WR1010 connectors sold individually or in a bag?
They are sold each, one connector per unit, so order the exact count of taps your job needs.
