Blackburn IKL34 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn IKL34 service entrance splice take?
The IKL34 is a two-conductor splice sized A: 2/0 on one side and B: 2 on the other, so it joins a 2/0 run conductor to a #2 tap or service conductor. It is a single-size compression connector, not an adjustable range-taking one, so both conductors have to match those two ports.
2) Can I use an aluminum compression splice like this on copper conductors?
The IKL34 body is aluminum, which makes it a splice for aluminum service entrance conductors. For a copper-to-copper or copper-to-aluminum joint you want a connector rated for those metals, since dissimilar metal contact without a rated bimetallic connector invites galvanic corrosion at the splice.
3) Does the Blackburn IKL34 splice meet ANSI C119.4 for underground and direct-buried connections?
It passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the standard for connectors used on insulated conductors, and it is RUS Listed, which is what utility and rural electrification work typically calls for on service entrance splices.
4) Do I need a crimp tool for the IKL34, or can it be tightened with a wrench?
This is a compression connector, so it is installed with a hydraulic or battery crimper and the die the barrel calls for. There are no set screws to torque. If your crew works with a wrench only, you want a mechanical set screw splice instead.
5) How long is the IKL34 splice and how much room do I need in the pedestal or box?
Plan for a 5-1/2 inch sleeve with a 4 inch splice barrel inside it, so allow at least that much straight length plus conductor bend radius in the enclosure or trench.
6) Is the IKL34 an insulated splice or do I have to tape and sleeve it myself?
It ships with insulation as part of the assembly, and the 5-1/2 inch sleeve is the insulating cover over the 4 inch compression barrel. That is the difference between this and a bare compression sleeve you would have to build up with tape or heat shrink on site.
7) Is the Blackburn IKL34 sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each, so the quantity you order is the number of splices you get. Count one per joint and add spares, since a compression splice cannot be reused once it is crimped.
8) What is the exact part number and country of origin for this Blackburn service entrance splice?
Blackburn part number IKL34, made in Mexico. That is the number to quote on a submittal or a distributor order for the 2/0 to #2 aluminum service entrance compression splice.
