Blackburn CS72 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Blackburn CS72 splice be used to join aluminum service entrance cable to copper?
Yes. The CS72 complies with ANSI C119.4 when properly installed on aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors, so it handles the dissimilar-metal joint most service entrance splices run into. It is also RUS Accepted, which matters if you are working on a utility or rural electrification funded job.
2) Do I need a crimp tool for the Blackburn CS72 service entrance splice, or can it be set with a wrench?
It's a compression connector, not a mechanical set screw type, so it has to be crimped with the correct compression tool and die. There is no bolt or screw to torque. If you want a wrench-tightened joint instead, you need a mechanical set screw splice rather than the CS72.
3) How many conductors does the Blackburn CS72 splice join?
Two. The CS72 is a two conductor splice, one run in each end, for a straight inline butt joint on a service entrance run. It will not serve as a tap or a three-way connection.
4) Is the Blackburn CS72 splice insulated, or do I have to tape or sleeve it?
The CS72 is a bare compression splice with no insulation on the body. You insulate it in the field, typically with tape or heat shrink, per the installation requirement for the location. Plan for that material on the job.
5) Does the Blackburn CS72 come in a multi-pack or is it sold individually?
Sold each. One CS72 splice per unit, so count your joints and order the quantity to match rather than expecting a bag or box count.
6) Where is the Blackburn CS72 compression splice made?
Mexico. That is the stated country of origin for the CS72, which is what procurement and government or utility buyers usually need for their sourcing documentation.
