Blackburn CS84 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn CS84 service entrance splice take?
The CS84 is a two-conductor compression splice sized for 2/0 on the A side and 1/0 on the B side, so it joins a 2/0 run to a 1/0 run rather than two like sizes. Mixing the sides up is the usual mistake here, so check which leg is which before you crimp.
2) Can I use the CS84 splice to connect aluminum to copper?
Yes. The CS84 complies with ANSI C119.4 when properly installed on aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors, so it is a dual-rated aluminum body splice suitable for transitions between an aluminum service conductor and copper.
3) Is this splice insulated, or do I have to cover it myself?
It is a bare compression splice with no insulation supplied, so the connection has to be insulated in the field with tape, a cover, or heat shrink, or made up inside an enclosure. Plan that material into the job.
4) Do I need a crimping tool for the CS84, or can it be tightened with a wrench?
This is a compression connector, not a mechanical set screw type. It has to be crimped with a hydraulic or battery compression tool using the correct die; a wrench will not make up the joint. If you want a wrench-tightened service entrance connection instead, you need a mechanical splice rather than a compression splice.
5) Is the Blackburn CS84 accepted for rural electric utility work?
It is RUS Accepted, which is what a utility or co-op specification usually calls for on service entrance connectors, and it meets ANSI C119.4 when installed correctly on the rated conductor combinations.
6) How is the CS84 sold, individually or in a bag?
The CS84 is sold each, so quantity one gets you a single splice. Count one per conductor pair being joined and add spares if you are making up a multi-conductor service.
7) What is the Blackburn part number and where is the CS84 made?
Order it as Blackburn CS84, the manufacturer part number for the 2/0 to 1/0 aluminum service entrance compression splice. Country of origin is Mexico.
