Blackburn IKL58 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn IKL58 service entrance splice accept?
The IKL58 is a two-conductor splice sized A: 4/0 on one side and B: 3/0 on the other, so it joins a 4/0 run to a 3/0 run rather than two equal sizes. Load the larger conductor into the A barrel and the smaller into the B barrel; swapping them will not give a proper compression.
2) Can I use the Blackburn IKL58 on aluminum service entrance cable, or is it copper only?
The body is aluminum and it is built as an aluminum service entrance splice, so it is intended for aluminum conductors on the service entrance. It is a compression connector, not a mechanical set screw type, so it gets installed with a die-type compression tool.
3) Does the Blackburn IKL58 splice meet ANSI C119.4 for underground and direct buried connections?
It passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4 and is RUS Listed, which is the standard utilities and co-ops reference for insulated and covered conductor connectors. That combination is what most utility and municipal specs call out on service entrance splicing.
4) What are the dimensions of the IKL58 splice and will it fit inside my meter socket or pedestal?
Splice length is 4 inches with a 5-1/2 inch sleeve, so plan on roughly 5-1/2 inches of straight run plus bending room for the finished splice. In a tight meter socket or pedestal, measure the clear space before committing, since the compression tool head needs room around the barrel as well.
5) Is the IKL58 splice insulated, or do I still need to tape or heat shrink it?
The IKL58 is supplied with insulation on the splice body. The sleeve covers the barrel itself; any additional weatherproofing at the conductor entries follows whatever your utility or job spec requires.
6) Are Blackburn IKL58 splices sold individually or in bags?
Sold each, so the count you order is the count of splices you get. On a three-conductor service you would need one per phase conductor being reduced from 4/0 to 3/0.
7) Is the Blackburn IKL58 made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what federal, municipal, and utility procurement usually needs documented on domestic sourcing requirements. Order it by manufacturer part number IKL58.
