Blackburn WR909 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn WR909 H-tap connector take?
The WR909 is sized for a 556-300 run conductor with a 336-300 tap, per the Blackburn part designation. Both sides are aluminum conductor ranges, so it is a main-to-tap connector for large distribution conductors rather than a service-size crimp. Confirm your run and tap fall inside those ranges before crimping, since an H-tap outside its range will not compress correctly.
2) Is the WR909 a compression connector or a mechanical bolted tap?
Compression. The WR909 is crimped with a hydraulic compression tool and die, not bolted, so there is nothing to re-torque after install and no hardware to lose. If your spec calls for a re-enterable bolted tap you want a mechanical H-tap or a bolted split-bolt style connector instead.
3) Will this connector meet a utility or co-op spec?
The WR909 is RUS Accepted and complies with ANSI C119.4, which is the standard utility connector spec for electric power connections. That is typically what a rural electric co-op or municipal utility submittal asks for on an aluminum compression tap.
4) Does the Blackburn WR909 come insulated, or do I have to cover it?
It ships bare. The insulation material is listed as none, so the crimped tap has to be insulated in the field with tape, a cover, or heat shrink if the application calls for it. Plan that material into the job.
5) Can I use this H-tap on 90 C rated cable?
Yes. The WR909 is rated for conductor operating temperatures up to 90 C, so it can be used on 90 C rated aluminum conductors without derating the connector.
6) How long is the WR909 body, and will it fit in my handhole or pedestal?
Overall length is 4-3/4 inches. On a tight pad-mount, handhole, or pedestal, measure your clearance for that length plus room to get the compression tool head around the barrel, which is usually the real constraint rather than the connector itself.
7) How many conductors does this H-tap connect?
Two: one run conductor and one tap conductor, crimped in the H-shaped body. If you need to pick up more than one tap off a single run, you need a separate connector for each tap.
8) Is the WR909 sold each or in a bag?
Sold each, so you order one per tap. Count your taps, not your splices, when you build the material list.
