Blackburn ICS73-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Blackburn ICS73-1 splice be used to join an aluminum conductor to a copper conductor?
Yes. The ICS73-1 compression splice complies with ANSI C119.4 when properly installed on aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors, so a mixed AL/CU splice is within its rated use. It is also RUS Accepted, which matters on utility and rural electrification work.
2) How many conductors does the ICS73-1 service entrance splice take?
Two. It is a two-conductor compression splice, meaning one run-to-run connection: one conductor into each end. If you need to tap three or more conductors into a single body you need a different connector configuration, not this one.
3) Is the ICS73-1 insulated, or do I have to tape and cover the splice after crimping?
The ICS73-1 is supplied insulated, so the splice body itself provides the covering rather than relying on field-applied tape or a separate sleeve. It is built as a service entrance splice, the kind of connection made in an SE cable run at the entrance to a building.
4) Is this a compression splice or a set-screw connector?
Compression. The ICS73-1 is crimped with a die tool, not tightened with set screws, so you need the matching compression tool and die on the job. A crimped splice gives a permanent connection that will not need a torque re-check later, but there is no adjusting it once it is made.
5) Is the Blackburn ICS73-1 sold individually or in a box of multiples?
Each. The ICS73-1 is sold as a single splice, so order one per connection you are making. Manufacturer part number is ICS73-1.
6) Where is the Blackburn ICS73-1 made? I have country-of-origin requirements on my bid.
Country of origin is Mexico. That is the documented origin for the ICS73-1 compression splice if your procurement package or government contract requires it on the submittal.
