Blackburn KL31-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn KL31-1 splice a crimp connector or a mechanical set-screw type?
It's a compression splice, so it's installed with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die, not with set screws. Once crimped it's a permanent joint, which is the tradeoff against a mechanical connector you can take apart later.
2) How many conductors does the Blackburn KL31-1 service entrance splice join?
Two. It's a one-to-one splice (A:1 B:1), meaning a single conductor entering each end, so it's for straight-through service entrance runs rather than tapping multiple branch conductors off one cable.
3) Does the KL31-1 splice come insulated, or do I need to tape or sleeve it after crimping?
The barrel is bare, with no insulation on the connector itself. Plan on covering the finished joint, typically heat shrink or an insulating cover sized to the barrel, before the splice goes back in the enclosure or underground.
4) Is the Blackburn KL31-1 rated to any recognized connector standard for utility work?
It passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and copper conductors. That's the reference most utilities and inspectors ask for on service entrance splices.
5) Can I use the Blackburn KL31-1 on aluminum service conductors?
Yes, it's an aluminum-body service entrance splice built for AL conductors, and it meets ANSI C119.4, the standard that covers aluminum and copper connector performance.
6) How long is the KL31-1 splice barrel, and will it fit inside a meter socket or pedestal?
The splice measures 3-1/2 inches, so allow at least that much straight length plus room for the crimp tool head and any insulating cover. In tight meter sockets or shallow pedestals that tool clearance is usually the limiting factor, not the splice itself.
7) Is the Blackburn KL31-1 sold individually or in a bag?
Each. One splice per selling unit, so quantity is the number of joints you're making, not the number of packs.
8) What is the exact part number and manufacturer for the KL31-1 service entrance splice?
Blackburn, manufacturer part number KL31-1. It's a compression service entrance splice, one conductor per side, 3-1/2 inches.
