Blackburn AMT500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire range does the Blackburn AMT500 multi-tap connector accept?
The AMT500 is a two-port aluminum multi-tap connector covering 500 kcmil down to 6 AWG, which is what the "500-6" in the part number refers to. Both ports take conductors in that range, so you can land a 500 kcmil feeder and a smaller tap in the same block.
2) What does "same side" mean on the Blackburn AMT500 connector?
Same side means both conductors enter the connector from the same end rather than opposing ends. That matters in a tight panel or pull box where you are tapping off a feeder and both the run and the tap come from the same direction. If your conductors approach from opposite ends, you want an opposite-entry style tap instead.
3) Can I use the Blackburn AMT500 on copper conductors as well as aluminum?
The AMT500 body is aluminum, and it is listed under UL E9809 and CSA 6591. Aluminum-bodied Blackburn mechanical taps in this family are dual rated for copper and aluminum conductors, but confirm the AL9CU marking stamped on the connector itself before landing copper on it.
4) Is the Blackburn AMT500 rated for 600 volt service?
Yes, 600 V is the rating on this two-port tap, which covers standard commercial and industrial branch and feeder work. It carries UL E9809 and CSA 6591 file listings.
5) Does the AMT500 come with insulating cover or do I need to order that separately?
The AMT500 is sold as a bare mechanical connector, one each. The black color you see is the connector body finish, not an insulating boot. If the installation needs insulation, plan on a separate cover or tape/resin kit sized to the block.
6) Are Blackburn AMT500 taps made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the AMT500 is the United States, which is the answer a government or institutional spec writer usually needs for domestic-content language on a bid.
7) How do I order the Blackburn AMT500 and what part number should I quote?
Quote manufacturer part number AMT500 from Blackburn. It ships as individual pieces, so quantity is per connector, not per pair or per box.
