Blackburn PAA10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn PAA10 parallel groove clamp take?
The PAA10 covers a run of 336 kcmil down to 1/0, which is the range called out in the part description (336-1/0). It joins two conductors, so both the run and the tap have to fall inside that range. Anything smaller than 1/0 or larger than 336 needs a different clamp body.
2) Is the Blackburn PAA10 clamp aluminum, and can I use it on copper conductors?
The PAA10 body is aluminum. Aluminum-bodied parallel groove clamps are intended for aluminum to aluminum connections unless the manufacturer specifically rates the part for dual metals, so treat this one as an aluminum conductor clamp. For copper to aluminum transitions, look for a clamp explicitly marked AL9CU or dual rated.
3) What wrench and socket do I need to install a Blackburn PAA10 clamp?
Bolt size is 3/8 inch with a 9/16 inch bolt head, so a 9/16 socket or wrench does the job. It's a two-bolt clamp, so torque both evenly.
4) Is the Blackburn PAA10 approved for utility distribution work?
It is RUS Listed, which is the acceptance utilities and rural electric co-ops look for on distribution connectors. That's the only listing carried on the part.
5) Should I use a bolted parallel groove clamp like the PAA10 or a compression splice?
The PAA10 is a bolted connection, so it can be taken apart and re-tensioned later, and it needs no press or die set. A compression splice is permanent and needs the right tool and die on site. For tap connections you may have to open again, or for crews without a compression tool, the bolted clamp is the practical choice.
6) Can I land three conductors in one PAA10 clamp?
No. The PAA10 is built for two conductors, one per groove. A three-way connection needs either a second clamp or a multi-groove body.
7) Does the Blackburn PAA10 come insulated, and how is it sold?
No insulation on this one, it's a bare aluminum clamp, so any covering or tape is on you. It's sold each, not in a bag or carton quantity.
