Blackburn WR159 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn WR159 H-tap connector accept?
The Blackburn WR159 is an H-type compression tap sized for 2 through 6 ACSR conductors, run and tap. It takes two conductors, so it joins a single tap to a single run. If your run is larger than 2 ACSR or your tap smaller than 6, you need a different die-coded H-tap.
2) Is the WR159 connector a crimp or a bolted tap?
Compression, not bolted. The WR159 is crimped with a hydraulic tool and the correct die, which makes it a permanent connection with no bolt to re-torque later. If you need a tap you can open up and re-use, you want a bolted split-bolt or parallel clamp instead.
3) Can I use a Blackburn WR159 H-tap on an insulated or underground run?
No insulation is supplied on the WR159, so it is a bare aluminum H-tap intended for overhead and open-air distribution taps. Any covering or waterproofing over the crimp has to be added separately, and it is not sold as a submersible or direct-burial rated connector.
4) Does this Blackburn H-tap meet utility spec for a rural co-op job?
The WR159 is RUS accepted and complies with ANSI C119.4, which is the connector performance standard utilities write into distribution specs. That combination is what most co-op and municipal utility submittals ask for on an overhead tap connector.
5) Can I use this aluminum H-tap to connect a copper tap to an ACSR run?
The WR159 is an aluminum-bodied H-tap catalogued for 2-6 ACSR only. For an aluminum-to-copper connection you need a connector specifically rated for both metals, since a bare aluminum body on copper invites galvanic corrosion at the crimp.
6) What temperature can the WR159 aluminum H-tap run at?
Rated to 90 degrees C. That covers the standard 90 C conductor operating temperature used on most distribution and service conductors, so it will not be the limiting element on a normally loaded line.
7) How much space does the WR159 take up on the conductor?
The body is 1-7/16 inches long, so it fits tight tap locations near insulators, deadends, and crowded racks where a longer sleeve or parallel clamp will not clear.
8) Is the Blackburn WR159 sold individually or by the box?
Sold each. Order the exact count you need for the job; there is no carton minimum built into the unit of measure.
9) What is the manufacturer part number for this Blackburn H-tap?
Blackburn WR159 is the catalog number, and it is the only model in this size range for 2-6 ACSR with a two-conductor H configuration. Distributors ordering to a utility spec should quote it as WR159.
