Blackburn IKL47 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn IKL47 service entrance splice take?
The IKL47 is sized for 3/0 on both sides, side A 3/0 and side B 3/0, so it joins two like-sized 3/0 conductors rather than stepping between sizes. If your run changes size across the splice, you need a reducing splice instead.
2) What are the sleeve and splice lengths on the IKL47, and why does that matter for a pull box?
Splice length is 4 inches with a 5-1/2 inch sleeve. That overall 5-1/2 inch dimension is what has to clear inside a meter socket, pull box, or pedestal, plus bending room for the conductors, so measure the cavity before you commit.
3) Does this splice meet ANSI C119.4 for underground and utility work?
It passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4 and is RUS Listed, which is the combination utility and co-op specs usually call for on service entrance connectors.
4) Do I need a crimp tool for this Blackburn splice, or is it a set-screw connector?
It's a compression connector, so it is installed with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die, not a hex key. No set screws are involved, which is why utilities accept it on service entrance conductors.
5) Can the IKL47 splice be used on copper conductors?
It is an aluminum-bodied compression splice. Aluminum-bodied service entrance splices of this kind are normally applied to aluminum conductors, so confirm the conductor metal on your run before crimping. For copper-to-copper or copper-to-aluminum transitions, use a connector rated for that combination.
6) How many conductors does this Blackburn splice accept?
Two. It is a two-conductor inline splice, one conductor entering each end, for joining a single run, not a multi-tap block.
7) Is the IKL47 splice insulated, or do I still need to tape or shrink over it?
The IKL47 is supplied with insulation on the splice body, so it is not a bare sleeve. Follow your utility or job spec for any additional taping or heat shrink over the finished crimp.
8) Is the IKL47 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each, one splice per unit, so order the exact count of joints on the job. It is made in the United States.
