Blackburn IKL44 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn IKL44 service entrance splice accept?
The IKL44 is a two-conductor service entrance splice sized for 2/0 on the A side and 3-4 on the B side, which is what the A:2/0 B:3-4 designation in the part description means. It joins two runs only, so if you need to tap a third conductor this is not the connector for it.
2) Is the IKL44 splice crimped or does it use setscrews?
It is a compression connector. You install it with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die, not a wrench, so there are no setscrews to torque or re-torque after installation.
3) What standards does the Blackburn IKL44 meet?
It is RUS Listed and passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for underground and above-ground use on insulated conductors. That is the reference a utility or municipal inspector will usually ask for on a service entrance splice.
4) How long is the IKL44 splice, and will it fit inside my pedestal or handhole?
The splice body measures 4 inches and the insulating sleeve is 5-1/2 inches, so plan on roughly the sleeve length plus conductor bend radius for clearance in a pedestal, meter socket gutter, or handhole.
5) Can I use this Blackburn splice on aluminum service entrance conductors?
Yes. The IKL44 barrel is aluminum, which is what you want on an aluminum service entrance run. Confirm your utility or inspector accepts a compression splice at the point you are making the connection.
6) Does the Blackburn IKL44 come with insulation or do I have to tape and heat-shrink it separately?
An insulating sleeve is part of the assembly, measuring 5-1/2 inches against the 4 inch splice barrel, so the connection is covered once crimped. No separate taping kit is needed for the splice itself.
7) Is the IKL44 sold individually or in a box quantity?
It is sold each, so you order one piece per splice you are making. On a three-phase plus neutral service, count a connector for every conductor you are joining.
8) Is the Blackburn IKL44 made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are buying under a domestic sourcing requirement on a public or utility project. The manufacturer part number to quote is IKL44.
