Blackburn ICS71-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn ICS71-1 service entrance splice accept?
The ICS71-1 is a two-conductor splice with different sizes on each side: port A takes 1 or 2 AWG stranded, port B takes 4 AWG solid. It is a reducing splice, so it is the part to use where a stranded service conductor lands on a smaller solid conductor. If both of your conductors are the same size or both stranded, this is the wrong catalogue number.
2) Is this a crimp splice or a set-screw connector?
Compression. The ICS71-1 is crimped with a die-type compression tool, not tightened with a screw, so you need the correct tool and die for the barrel rather than a hex key. Compression gives a permanent joint that will not need re-torquing the way a mechanical set-screw connector can.
3) Does the ICS71-1 come insulated, or do I have to tape and sleeve it after crimping?
It is supplied insulated, so no separate sleeve or tape build-up is needed over the barrel after the crimp. That is what makes it suited to service entrance splices in a meter can or pedestal where space is tight and re-insulating by hand is awkward.
4) How long is the ICS71-1 splice, and will it fit inside a meter socket enclosure?
The body measures 2-25/32 inches, which is the figure to check against the working depth in your meter socket, pull box, or pedestal before you crimp it in place. Add the bend radius of the conductors on both sides when you lay it out.
5) Is the ICS71-1 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each. One ICS71-1 splices one pair of conductors, so order one per joint. For a three-wire service with two reducing joints, that is two pieces.
6) What is the manufacturer part number and origin for the Blackburn ICS71-1?
Blackburn part number ICS71-1, manufactured in Mexico. That is the number to quote for a distributor cross or a submittal on aluminum service entrance splices.
