Blackburn W62-1B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn W62-1B wedge clamp used for?
The W62-1B is an aluminum service entrance wedge clamp that makes a tension-type connection on a single conductor. It is the type of tap connector used where a service drop or service entrance conductor has to be clamped mechanically rather than compressed, and it is sold one clamp per unit.
2) Can the W62-1B be used on aluminum conductors, or is it copper only?
The body is iridited aluminum with a bare surface finish. The iridite treatment is what lets an aluminum-bodied connector be used on aluminum conductors without the oxide problem you get from untreated aluminum, and it is the standard construction for service entrance wedge clamps. It is not a plated copper-only connector.
3) How much room do I need in the handhole or weatherhead for a Blackburn W62-1B clamp?
Plan on 12 inches of length and 2-3/8 inches of depth for the clamp itself, plus working clearance to swing a wrench on the tension bolt. In tight pedestals or crowded weatherheads that 12 inch length is usually the deciding dimension.
4) Is a wedge clamp or a compression connector the better choice for a service tap?
A wedge clamp like the W62-1B makes a tension connection, so it installs with hand tools and can be loosened and reset if the service is changed. A compression connector is permanent and needs a hydraulic or battery crimp tool with the right die. Pick the wedge clamp when you want a re-enterable connection or do not want to carry crimp tooling to the pole; pick compression when the connection is buried, submersible, or spec'd as permanent.
5) How many conductors does one Blackburn W62-1B clamp terminate?
One. The W62-1B is rated for a single conductor per clamp, so a three-phase or multi-conductor service needs one clamp for each conductor being tapped. They are sold individually, not in kits.
6) Is the W62-1B the exact Blackburn part number I should order?
Yes. W62-1B is the manufacturer part number for the Blackburn aluminum service entrance wedge clamp, and it is the only configuration offered under that number. Where country of origin has to go on a submittal, these are made in Mexico.
