Blackburn WR319 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn WR319 H-tap connector take?
The WR319 is sized for a 3/0 ACSR run conductor with a 2 through 4 AWG tap, which is how the part is described (3/0 ACSR, 2-4). It joins two conductors, a main and a tap, in one compression H body.
2) Is the Blackburn WR319 tap connector aluminum, and can it be used on copper?
It is an aluminum H-type compression tap. The sizing given is for 3/0 ACSR run and 2-4 AWG tap conductors, so specify it for aluminum and ACSR work. If your run or tap is copper, order a connector rated for that conductor material instead.
3) Does the WR319 H-tap need a crimp tool, or can it be bolted?
Compression only. The WR319 is a compression connector with no bolt hardware, so it is installed with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die for the connector. If you need a joint you can open later for testing or re-tapping, use a bolted split-bolt or mechanical tap instead.
4) What standards does the Blackburn WR319 compression tap meet?
It is RUS accepted and complies with ANSI C119.4 specifications, which is the standard utilities and inspectors look for on connectors for aluminum and copper conductors.
5) What operating temperature is the WR319 rated for?
Rated for service up to 90 degrees C, so it suits 90 C rated conductor systems such as THHN/THWN-2 and XHHW-2 aluminum runs.
6) Is the Blackburn WR319 insulated, and does it need taping after crimping?
The connector is bare, with no insulation on the body. On energized or accessible work it has to be insulated after crimping, typically with a cover, tape, or heat shrink sized to the finished joint.
7) How long is the WR319 H-tap body, and will it fit in a tight enclosure or pedestal?
The body is 1-7/8 inches long. Allow room for that length plus the die on your crimp tool, and for whatever insulating cover or tape you add over the finished joint.
8) Is the Blackburn WR319 sold each or in a box?
It is sold each, so order one connector per tap. Count your taps and add spares, since a compression H-tap is not reusable once crimped.
