Blackburn ICS68-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Blackburn ICS68-1 service entrance splice be used on aluminum to copper connections?
Yes. The ICS68-1 complies with ANSI C119.4 when properly installed on aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors, so it handles a dissimilar metal transition as well as an all-aluminum splice. It is also RUS accepted, which matters on rural utility funded work.
2) How many conductors does the ICS68-1 splice take on each side?
It is a two-conductor splice, configured A:2SLD and B:2SLD, meaning two solid conductors land on each end. If you need to bring in more than two runs per side, this is not the connector for that job.
3) Is the Blackburn ICS68-1 a compression splice or a set screw connector?
Compression. The ICS68-1 is crimped with a compression tool and die, not tightened with set screws, so plan on having the correct die on the truck before you head to the service. Compression gives a permanent joint; if you want something re-enterable, a set screw or mechanical splice is the better choice.
4) Is the ICS68-1 insulated, or do I have to tape and cover the splice afterward?
The ICS68-1 is an insulated service entrance splice, so the connector itself carries insulation over the crimp area rather than leaving a bare barrel to be taped out.
5) How much room do I need in the box or weatherhead for this Blackburn splice?
Allow for a body length of 2-25/32 inches plus the bend radius of the conductors entering each end. In a tight pedestal or meter socket, measure before you crimp; there is no way to shorten the assembled connector once it is compressed.
6) Is the ICS68-1 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each. One ICS68-1 covers one splice point, so order by the number of joints you are making.
7) What is the manufacturer part number for this Blackburn aluminum service entrance splice?
Order it as Blackburn ICS68-1. It is an insulated aluminum compression service entrance splice taking two solid conductors per side, manufactured in Mexico.
