Blackburn KL68-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn KL68-1 service entrance splice take?
The KL68-1 is a two-port splice: the A side takes 4/0 and the B side takes 3/0. It is a reducing splice, so the two barrels are not the same size. If both of your conductors are the same gauge, this is the wrong part.
2) Is the KL68-1 splice crimped or bolted?
Crimped. It's a compression splice, so it needs a hydraulic or battery crimp tool with the correct die set for the barrel; there are no set screws or bolts to torque.
3) Does this aluminum splice come insulated, or do I have to cover it myself?
Bare. The KL68-1 carries no insulation, so the joint has to be insulated in the field with tape, heat shrink, or a cover appropriate to the application and location.
4) Does this splice meet ANSI C119.4 for a service entrance connection?
Yes. The KL68-1 passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the standard covering electric connectors for use between aluminum or copper conductors, which is typically what a utility or inspector wants to see on a service splice.
5) Will the KL68-1 work on aluminum service entrance cable, or copper only?
It's an aluminum service entrance splice, sized for 4/0 on one end and 3/0 on the other. Use it where the connector rating and the conductor material match your run; for copper-to-aluminum transitions you want a connector specifically listed for dual material use.
6) How long is the KL68-1 splice barrel assembly?
3-1/2 inches overall. Worth checking against your available slack and enclosure space before you cut back the cable, since a compression splice can't be shortened.
7) Can I use the KL68-1 to splice two conductors of different size in the same joint?
That's exactly what it's built for. One barrel is sized for 4/0 and the other for 3/0, which lets you transition between the two sizes in a single crimped joint rather than using a reducer plus a same-size splice.
8) Am I buying one splice or a pack?
One. The KL68-1 is sold each, so a three-phase or multi-conductor job needs one ordered per conductor you're splicing.
