Blackburn WR885 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn WR885 H-tap connector take?
The Blackburn WR885 H-type compression tap covers a 477 MCM to 4/0 AWG range on aluminum conductors, with two conductor positions: the run and the tap. It is a compression fitting, so the conductors are crimped in permanently rather than clamped with a bolt.
2) Can I use an aluminum H-tap connector on copper conductors?
The WR885 is an aluminum-bodied H-tap sized for aluminum conductors in the 477 MCM to 4/0 AWG range. For a copper run or a copper-to-aluminum transition, use a connector rated for that combination instead. Matching the connector to the conductor metal is what keeps the joint from corroding at the interface.
3) Does this H-tap meet utility spec for distribution work?
It is RUS Accepted and complies with ANSI C119.4, which is the connector standard utilities write into their distribution specs. That combination is what lets it go on rural utility service and other utility distribution connections.
4) What temperature is this compression tap connector rated for?
Rated up to 90 degrees C, which lines up with 90 C rated conductor insulation on heavily loaded feeders and distribution taps.
5) Does the WR885 H-tap come insulated, or do I have to cover it?
It ships bare. The insulation material is listed as none, so the joint is a bare aluminum compression body. If the application needs it covered, plan on a separate insulating cover or tape and mastic buildup as part of the job.
6) Is an H-tap the right choice, or should I use a bolted split-bolt connector?
An H-type compression tap is the permanent option: it is crimped with a hydraulic tool and cannot back off, which is why it is specified for utility and industrial distribution taps where nobody is going back to retorque anything. A bolted connector is the one to use if you need to break the tap apart later. The WR885 is compression only, so you need a die set and press that matches it.
7) Can I tap a feeder without cutting the main run using this connector?
Yes. The H-type body takes the run conductor in one channel and the tap in the other, so the main conductor stays continuous through the connector and only the tap is terminated. That is the normal way these go on utility distribution and high-amperage service taps.
8) How long is the Blackburn WR885 H-tap body?
Three inches of barrel length. That matters when you are fitting a tap into a tight window between a deadend and a cutout, and it also sets how much conductor you need to strip and brush clean before crimping.
9) Is this H-tap sold individually or in a box?
Sold each. Order one per tap point, and count both the run and tap conductors when you lay out a distribution job.
