Blackburn WR239 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn WR239 H-tap connector take?
The WR239 is sized for a 2/0 to 1/0 ACSR run conductor with a 2/0 to 1/0 tap, per the product designation. It's a two-conductor connector, so one run and one tap in a single crimp. If your run or tap falls outside 2/0 to 1/0, you need a different H-tap in the series.
2) Is the WR239 an aluminum connector, and can I use it on copper?
It's an aluminum H-type compression tap. The designation calls out ACSR on the run side, which is aluminum conductor steel reinforced overhead cable. Treat it as an aluminum-body tap for aluminum/ACSR work; use a connector specifically rated dual-rated AL/CU if you're landing copper.
3) Does the Blackburn WR239 meet ANSI C119.4 and is it RUS accepted?
Yes on both. The WR239 complies with ANSI C119.4 and is RUS accepted, which is what utility and co-op specs generally call for on compression taps.
4) What temperature is this H-tap rated for?
Up to 90 degrees C. That covers standard 90 C rated conductor operating temperature on distribution and secondary work.
5) How long is the WR239 H-tap, and will it fit in a tight crossarm or pedestal space?
The body measures 1-7/8 inch in length, so it takes only a short section of parallel conductor plus room to swing the compression tool. In cramped pedestals or between clamps, measure your available straight run before you crimp.
6) Is the WR239 insulated, or do I have to cover it after crimping?
It's a bare connector with no insulation on it. Any covering or re-insulating (tape, cover, sealant) is separate and not supplied with the tap.
7) Is this a bolted tap or does it need a crimp tool?
Compression only. The WR239 is crimped with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the correct die for the connector, not tightened with a wrench. If you want a reusable, wrench-tightened joint, you want a bolted split-bolt or H-tap style instead.
8) Is the Blackburn WR239 sold individually or in a box?
Sold each. Order one per tap connection you're making, and add a few spares since a compression connector can't be reused once crimped.
9) What's the manufacturer part number and country of origin on this Blackburn H-tap?
Part number WR239, made in Mexico. That's the number to quote for a match on a utility or contractor spec sheet.
