Blackburn ICS64-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn ICS64-1 service entrance splice take?
The ICS64-1 is sized for 4 solid conductor on both ends (A:4SLD, B:4SLD), so it joins two runs of #4 solid. It is a two-conductor splice, one in each side, and it is not a multi-tap or a reducing connector, so both entries take the same 4 solid size.
2) Can I use this splice on aluminum to copper, or only aluminum to aluminum?
Both. The ICS64-1 complies with ANSI C119.4 when properly installed on aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors, so it is dual rated for a transition splice as well as an all-aluminum run. It is also RUS Accepted, which matters on utility and rural electric work.
3) Is the ICS64-1 a compression splice or a set screw connector?
Compression. The ICS64-1 is crimped with a compression tool and die, not tightened with set screws, so once it is installed it is a permanent joint. If you need a connection you can open later for testing or re-termination, a mechanical set screw splice is the better choice; if you want a sealed, tamper-resistant joint on a service entrance run, compression is what utilities and inspectors expect.
4) Can I use this on stranded #4, or is it strictly solid?
The ICS64-1 is specified for 4 solid on both sides. For stranded conductors, order the Blackburn ICS part number matched to the stranded size rather than forcing a solid-rated barrel, since compression dies and barrel bore are sized to the conductor.
5) Does this Blackburn splice come insulated, or do I have to tape and seal it?
The ICS64-1 is an insulated compression splice, so you are not building up tape or shrink over a bare barrel to get the covering. Normal practice on a service entrance splice still applies for moisture sealing per your utility's spec, but the insulation itself is part of the connector.
6) How long is the ICS64-1 splice, and will it fit inside a meter socket or pedestal?
Overall size is 2-25/32 inches, which is the figure to check against the clear space in a meter socket, pedestal, or hand hole before you crimp. Add room for the crimp tool head at each end, not just the body length.
7) Is the ICS64-1 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each. One ICS64-1 makes one two-conductor splice, so a three-wire service with a neutral takes a count matched to the number of conductors you are joining, ordered one at a time.
8) Where is the Blackburn ICS64-1 made?
Manufactured in Mexico. For agencies and utilities running domestic-preference or country-of-origin documentation on material submittals, that is the origin to list on the ICS64-1.
