Blackburn CS65 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Blackburn CS65 splice be used on aluminum to copper connections, or aluminum only?
Both. The CS65 complies with ANSI C119.4 when properly installed on aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors, so it handles a transition splice as well as a straight aluminum run. It is also RUS accepted, which matters on rural utility and co-op funded work.
2) What conductor ranges does the Blackburn CS65 service entrance splice take on each end?
The CS65 is a dual-rated splice with different barrel sizes at each end: side A takes 3-4 and side B takes 10. That makes it the part to use where you are joining a larger service entrance conductor to a much smaller one rather than splicing two like-sized conductors.
3) Do I need a crimping tool for the Blackburn CS65, or does it tighten with setscrews?
It is a compression connector, not a mechanical setscrew type, so it has to be crimped with the correct die and compression tool. There are no screws to torque. If you want a screw-type connection you need a mechanical service entrance splice instead.
4) Is the Blackburn CS65 insulated, or do I have to tape or sleeve it after crimping?
Bare metal, no insulation on the body. Once crimped you have to insulate it yourself with tape, heat shrink, or a cold shrink sleeve wherever the application calls for it. In a sealed service entrance enclosure or on a utility connection where clearance is maintained, that may not be required.
5) How many conductors does one Blackburn CS65 splice join?
One CS65 joins two conductors, one into each end, as a single inline splice. It is sold individually, each, so count one per splice point and order accordingly for a three phase or multi-conductor service.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the Blackburn aluminum service entrance splice A:3-4 B:10?
Blackburn CS65 is the manufacturer part number, and its catalogued product size is 2 inch. Quote it as Blackburn CS65 when ordering; the splice is made in Mexico.
