Blackburn IKL46 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn IKL46 service entrance splice accept?
The IKL46 is a two-conductor splice with different sizes on each end: run A takes 3/0 and run B takes 2/0. That mismatch is the point of the part, it lets you transition between the two sizes in one compression joint rather than stepping the cable up or down separately.
2) Can I use the Blackburn IKL46 splice on copper conductors?
The IKL46 is an aluminum-bodied service entrance splice, built for aluminum service entrance conductors. If your run is copper, specify a splice rated for copper instead.
3) Do I need a crimp tool for the Blackburn IKL46, or can it be installed by hand?
It is a compression connector, so it has to be crimped with a die-type compression tool. There are no set screws and nothing about it is hand-tightened. Plan the correct die and press for an aluminum barrel before you get on the ladder.
4) How long is the Blackburn IKL46 splice body? I need to know if it will fit inside my meter socket.
Splice length is 4 inches with a 5-1/2 inch sleeve over it. Measure your available gutter or enclosure depth against the 5-1/2 inch sleeve dimension, not the 4 inch barrel, since the insulating sleeve is what actually has to lie in the space.
5) Does the Blackburn IKL46 meet utility connector requirements for a service entrance?
It is RUS Listed and passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for underground and aboveground distribution conductors. That is the pair of references most utilities and inspectors look for on a service entrance splice.
6) Does the Blackburn IKL46 come insulated, or do I have to tape and sleeve it separately?
It ships as an insulated assembly, with a 5-1/2 inch sleeve covering the 4 inch splice barrel. You are not buying a bare barrel that needs a separate cover kit.
7) Is the Blackburn IKL46 sold in bags or individually?
Each IKL46 is sold individually. For a three-phase or multi-leg service you will need to count one splice per conductor being joined, since each unit handles a single 3/0-to-2/0 transition.
