Blackburn CSC68 AL SERV COMP SPLICE A:3-4 B:3-4 CVR

The CSC68 is set up as a two-conductor splice, with each side sized for 3-4 conductor range as called out in the product name (A:3-4, B:3-4). It joins one run to one run, not multiple taps, so it is a straight inline splice for service entrance conductors.

No separate taping is required. The CSC68 ships with a cover that acts as the insulation over the crimped barrel, so once the compression is made and the cover is closed you have an insulated splice. Sold one splice per unit, so order one per connection point.

Yes, it is an aluminum service entrance compression splice, and aluminum-bodied compression connectors of this type are dual-rated practice for joining aluminum to aluminum service conductors. It passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the standard covering electric connectors for use between aluminum and copper or aluminum conductors, and it is RUS Listed.

Compression. It is crimped with a die tool rather than tightened with set screws, which is what utilities and inspectors usually want on service entrance conductors where a torqued mechanical connector can loosen. If you need to be able to re-open the joint later, a set screw splice block is the better choice; a crimped barrel is permanent.

Plan on a 2 inch body size for the CSC68 plus the crimp tool head swing on both barrels. In a tight meter can or handhole, that is the dimension that decides whether you can get the die in squarely, so lay the splice in before you strip conductor.

No. The CSC68 is a two-conductor inline splice, one conductor per side, so it is for extending or repairing a single run. For tapping multiple conductors off one main you need a multi-port tap connector or a power distribution block instead.

Blackburn CSC68 is the manufacturer part number, an aluminum service entrance compression splice with cover, made in Mexico.
