Blackburn CSC78 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn CSC78 service entrance splice take on each side?
The CSC78 is sized for 1/0 on side A and 1/0 on side B, so it joins two 1/0 conductors in a straight splice. It takes two conductors total, one per end. If either run in your service entrance is a different size, you need a different catalog number in the series rather than this one.
2) Is the Blackburn CSC78 splice for aluminum wire or copper?
It is an aluminum service entrance compression splice, and it passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, which is the standard covering connectors used on aluminum and copper conductors. It is also RUS Listed, which is what utility and co-op specs typically call for on service drops.
3) Do I need to tape or add a boot over this splice, or does it come insulated?
A cover ships with the CSC78 and that cover acts as the insulation, so you are not building up tape or sourcing a separate boot. Crimp the barrel, close the cover, done.
4) Is this a compression splice or a set-screw connector?
Compression. The CSC78 is crimped with a compression tool and die, not tightened with a set screw or bolt. If you want a re-enterable connection you can back off and redo, a mechanical set-screw service entrance connector is the better choice; a compression splice is permanent once crimped.
5) How much room do I need in the pedestal or handhole for a Blackburn CSC78?
The CSC78 is listed at a 2 inch product size, so plan for a 2 inch splice body plus the cover and enough slack to make the crimp with the tool head in place. Tight meter sockets and shallow pedestals are where these get awkward.
6) Is the Blackburn CSC78 sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each. One CSC78 splice with its cover per unit, so order one per splice point rather than by the box.
