Blackburn WR379 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn WR379 H-tap connector accept?
The WR379 is sized for a 4/0 ACSR run conductor with a 3/0 ACSR tap, and it is a two-conductor connector, so one run and one tap per crimp. It is built for aluminum conductor steel reinforced cable, not for copper or all-aluminum conductor of other sizes. If your run or tap falls outside 4/0 and 3/0 ACSR, you need a different H-tap die size, because a compression connector only makes up correctly on the conductor range it was drawn for.
2) Does the Blackburn WR379 meet utility spec for rural electric co-op work?
It is RUS Accepted and complies with ANSI C119.4, which is the connector standard utilities and co-ops write into their material specs for distribution taps. That covers the usual submittal requirement for rural utility service jobs.
3) Is the Blackburn WR379 H-tap insulated, or do I have to cover it after crimping?
It is a bare compression connector with no insulation on it. For overhead distribution and utility line work that is normal and it is left bare. If the tap sits anywhere it needs to be covered, you cover it after the crimp with a separate insulating cover or tape kit, which is not part of the connector.
4) Can I use an H-tap compression connector like this instead of a bolted split-bolt tap?
Yes, and for utility and overhead ACSR work it is the usual choice. A compression H-tap is a permanent, crimped connection, so there is no bolt torque to check and nothing to loosen with thermal cycling. A split bolt or bolted tap stays serviceable and can be taken apart later. Pick the H-tap where the connection is meant to stay put and you have the hydraulic tool and correct die on hand, because the WR379 cannot be made up with hand tools alone.
5) How much room do I need on the conductor to fit this tap?
The body is 1-13/16 inches long, so you need that much clear conductor plus crimp tool clearance either side. It is short enough to place in a congested span or close to a pole-top position, but measure your working gap before you strip in.
6) What temperature is this H-type tap connector rated for?
The WR379 tap is rated up to 90 degrees C, which lines it up with 90 C rated conductor and normal distribution loading. Above that rating you are outside what the connector is qualified for.
7) Does the WR379 come as a single connector or in a bag?
It is sold each, so one connector per unit. Order quantity to match the number of taps on the job, and remember each tap point takes one connector covering one run and one tap conductor.
8) Where is the Blackburn WR379 connector made?
Country of origin is Mexico. That is the detail procurement usually wants for domestic preference or trade documentation on a utility material submittal.
