Blackburn KL36-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn KL36-1 service entrance splice accept?
The KL36-1 is a two-conductor compression splice sized for 1/0 on the A side and 1/0 on the B side, so it joins one 1/0 run to another 1/0 run. It is not a reducing connector, and it takes two conductors only, one per end.
2) Does this Blackburn splice come insulated, or do I have to tape or sleeve it?
The KL36-1 is a bare, uninsulated splice body. It carries no insulation material, so the finished joint has to be insulated in the field with tape, a heat shrink sleeve, or a cold shrink tube rated for the application.
3) Is the KL36-1 a bolted or a compression connector, and what tooling does it need?
It is a compression splice, meaning it is crimped onto the conductors with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the matching die, not tightened with set screws. Plan on having the crimp tool on site; there is no bolt to torque.
4) Can I use the KL36-1 to splice copper as well as aluminum service conductors?
The KL36-1 is an aluminum service entrance splice, and it passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for aluminum and copper conductors. Use it on 1/0 aluminum service entrance conductors as intended; where a job calls out a copper-only connector, specify one rated for that use.
5) How long is the KL36-1 splice barrel, and will it fit inside a meter socket or pedestal?
It measures 3-1/2 inches, so allow at least that much straight length plus room for the compression tool head and your insulating sleeve before committing to a tight meter socket, pull box, or pedestal enclosure.
6) What standard does the Blackburn KL36-1 meet for utility and inspector sign-off?
It passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the connector standard inspectors and utilities reference for underground and service conductor connections. That, plus the compression style, is usually what a utility spec is asking for on a 1/0 service entrance splice.
7) Should I use a compression splice like this or a bolted split-bolt on a 1/0 service repair?
A compression splice such as the KL36-1 gives a permanent, tool-crimped joint that cannot loosen from thermal cycling, which is why service entrance and buried work usually calls for it. A bolted split-bolt is the choice when you need a connection you can take apart later or when no crimp tool is available. Either way the KL36-1 handles 1/0 to 1/0 only and must be insulated after crimping.
8) How is the Blackburn KL36-1 splice sold, individually or in packs?
Sold each. One KL36-1 splices one pair of 1/0 conductors, so a typical three-phase-and-neutral service entrance repair needs one per conductor being joined.
