Blackburn KL46-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn KL46-1 service entrance splice accept?
The KL46-1 is a two-conductor splice with different barrel sizes on each end: side A takes 2/0 and side B takes 1/0. It is a reducing splice, so it is meant for joining a 2/0 run to a 1/0 run rather than two like-sized conductors. Load the larger conductor into the A barrel and the smaller into B.
2) Is the KL46-1 splice for aluminum or copper service entrance conductors?
It is an aluminum-bodied service entrance splice (AL SERVENTR), so it is intended for aluminum conductors typical of service entrance and URD runs. If you are joining copper to aluminum, you need a connector specifically rated dual-rated AL9CU rather than assuming this one covers it.
3) Do I need a hydraulic crimper for the Blackburn KL46-1, or can it be tightened with a wrench?
Compression only. The KL46-1 is a compression splice, not a set-screw or mechanical connector, so it has to be crimped with the correct die for the barrel size. There are no screws to torque. If you want a wrench-tightened joint instead, you need a mechanical set-screw splice.
4) Does the KL46-1 splice come insulated, or do I have to tape or heat-shrink it?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the body. After crimping you have to insulate the joint yourself, normally with heat shrink tubing or a rated tape build-up, per the installation method your inspector accepts. Plan that material into the job.
5) Does the Blackburn KL46-1 meet ANSI C119.4 for underground and service connectors?
Yes. The KL46-1 passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, which is the standard covering electric connectors for use between aluminum or copper conductors. That is the reference a utility or institutional spec usually calls out for this class of splice.
6) How long is the KL46-1 splice body, and will it fit inside my meter socket or pull box?
The body measures 3-1/2 inches, so allow for that length plus your insulation build-up and the conductor bending radius on each side. In a shallow meter socket or a crowded trough, measure the available straight run before you crimp, since a compression splice cannot be shortened once installed.
7) Is the Blackburn KL46-1 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each. The KL46-1 is ordered as a single splice, so buy one per joint plus spares, since a miscrimped compression barrel is scrap.
8) Where is the Blackburn KL46-1 splice made?
Manufactured in Mexico. That is the detail government and institutional buyers usually need for country-of-origin documentation on a submittal.
