Blackburn CS69 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Blackburn CS69 splice be used to join aluminum to copper?
Yes. The CS69 complies with ANSI C119.4 when properly installed on aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors, so it handles a dissimilar-metal transition as well as an all-aluminum splice. It is also RUS accepted, which matters on rural utility and co-op funded work.
2) Is the Blackburn CS69 an insulated splice or does it need to be taped or covered?
It is a bare, uninsulated compression splice, with no insulation material supplied. Any insulating or re-jacketing at the joint has to be added in the field, or the splice has to land inside an enclosure such as a meter socket or service entrance box.
3) Do I need a crimping tool for the Blackburn CS69, or can it be tightened with a wrench?
It is a compression connector, not a mechanical set-screw type, so it must be crimped with the proper compression tool and die. There are no screws to torque. If you want a splice you can install with a hex key on a service entrance, you need a mechanical set-screw splice instead.
4) Is the Blackburn CS69 the same size on both ends?
No, the two barrels are different. One side takes 1-2 conductor and the other takes 10, so it is a reducing splice used where a large service conductor transitions to a much smaller one. Match the conductor on each end to the correct barrel before you crimp, because the smaller end will not accept the larger wire.
5) How many conductors does the Blackburn CS69 service entrance splice join?
Two. It is a two-conductor, in-line splice designed to join one run to another, and it is sold individually rather than in a kit, so order one per splice point. A three-conductor service drop repair therefore needs three of them.
6) What is the correct part number and manufacturer for the aluminum service entrance compression splice marked A:1-2 B:10?
That is Blackburn CS69, an aluminum service entrance compression splice with conductor range A: 1-2 and B: 10. Manufacturer part number CS69, made in Mexico. Quote it by CS69 when ordering so you get the matching conductor ranges on both barrels.
7) Where is a service entrance compression splice like the Blackburn CS69 normally used?
It is used on aluminum service entrance and service drop conductors, splicing a run in line ahead of or at the meter, and on utility-type work where RUS acceptance is called for. It is a wire or cable compression splice, so it makes a permanent joint rather than a serviceable, re-openable connection.
