Blackburn AMTS414 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn AMTS414 multi-tap connector accept?
The AMTS414 is built for conductors in the 4 AWG through 14 AWG range, which is where the "4-14" in the part number comes from. It has four ports, all entering from the same side, so every conductor lands from one direction rather than running through the body.
2) Is the Blackburn AMTS414 rated for 600 volt service and 90 degree C wire?
Yes, 600 V and 90 degrees C. That covers standard 600 V building wire including THHN/THWN-2 at its 90 degree C rating, so the connector is not the limiting factor on a typical feeder or branch tap.
3) Is this Blackburn multi-tap connector UL listed for inspection sign-off?
It carries UL file E9809 and CSA 6591. That is the documentation an electrical inspector or a spec-driven institutional buyer will ask for on a tap connector, and it means the part can be used on both US and Canadian jobs.
4) Can I use the Blackburn AMTS414 on copper conductors, or aluminum only?
The body is aluminum, and Blackburn's AL-series same-side multi-tap connectors of this type are dual rated for aluminum and copper. If your job requires a copper-only connector, look for a CU-marked lug instead. Always match the marking on the connector body to the conductor material your inspector expects to see.
5) Do I need insulating cover or tape over the AMTS414 after making up the taps?
Yes. The AMTS414 is a bare mechanical tap connector, not a pre-insulated device, so it has to be insulated in the field with tape or a matching insulating cover, or installed inside an enclosure or gutter where it is not accessible. Plan that material into the job.
6) Why choose a same-side 4-port connector instead of a straight-through splice block?
Same-side entry means all four conductors come in from one face, which is what you want when you are tapping several branch circuits off one point in a panel gutter or a pull box and everything runs the same direction. A straight-through or opposite-entry block is the better choice when the main conductor passes through the connector and out the far end. Pick same-side when the wires all originate on one side of the connector location.
7) How is the Blackburn AMTS414 sold, individually or in a pack?
It ships as each, one connector per unit, so you can order the exact count the job needs rather than a bulk carton. It is also US made.
