Blackburn IKL36 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn IKL36 service entrance splice take?
The IKL36 is a two-conductor service entrance splice sized for 2/0 on the A side and 1/0 on the B side, so it joins two different conductor sizes in one connector rather than same-to-same. Check the conductor size stamped on your cable jacket against those two ports before you crimp, because a compression splice is not reusable once it is dieed down.
2) Can I use the Blackburn IKL36 splice on copper conductors, or is it aluminum only?
The IKL36 body is aluminum. Blackburn's service entrance compression splices in aluminum are the standard choice for aluminum service entrance cable; if your run is copper, specify a splice rated for the conductor metal you are actually landing rather than assuming this one covers it.
3) Does the Blackburn IKL36 meet ANSI C119.4 for underground or service entrance connections?
Yes. The IKL36 passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4 and is RUS Listed, which is what utility and rural electrification specs typically call out for connectors on service entrance conductors.
4) How much room do I need in the pull box or weatherhead for this Blackburn splice?
Plan for the finished length: the splice section is 4 inches and the sleeve runs 5-1/2 inches. Add your strip length and bend radius on each side when you are laying it out in a trough, meter socket, or pull box so the crimped body is not fighting the enclosure wall.
5) Is the Blackburn IKL36 an insulated splice or do I have to tape and cover it?
The IKL36 is supplied insulated, so it is not a bare barrel that needs to be built up with tape and mastic on the job. It is still a compression connector, so it needs the correct die and a hydraulic or battery crimper, not a mechanical set screw tool.
6) Do I get one splice or a pack when I order the Blackburn IKL36?
Sold each. One IKL36 covers one splice point, so for a three-phase or multi-conductor service you order one per conductor being joined.
7) Is the Blackburn IKL36 splice made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the IKL36 is the United States, which is what a government, utility, or federally funded project will want documented for domestic sourcing requirements.
