Blackburn GP-250-0 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn GP-250-0 parallel tap connector take on the main and the tap?
The GP-250-0 accepts a main run from 250 kcmil down to 1/0, and a tap from 1/0 down to 14 AWG. Main and tap are in separate ports, so you can pick off a small branch conductor from a heavy feeder without cutting the run.
2) Can I use this Blackburn tap connector on copper conductors, or is it aluminum only?
It is dual-rated, so it works on either copper or aluminum conductors. The body itself is aluminum with a tin plating, which is what lets it land copper without a dissimilar-metal problem.
3) Will the GP-250-0 work for tapping a 14 AWG control or lighting branch off a large service feeder?
Yes, that is the range it covers. The tap port goes all the way down to 14 AWG while the main port handles conductors as large as 250 kcmil, so a small branch off a heavy feeder is within the stated range. Anything larger than 1/0 on the tap side needs a different connector.
4) Does a Blackburn GP-250-0 come as a single piece or in a bag of multiples?
It sells each, one connector per unit, so order the count you need for the job rather than by carton. Made in Mexico.
5) Is the tin plating on this connector suitable for a damp or corrosive environment?
The aluminum body is tin-plated, which is the usual finish for resisting oxidation on the contact surfaces and for accepting copper conductors. It is a mechanical set-screw style tap connector, so where it is installed it still needs an appropriate enclosure or insulating cover for the application.
