Blackburn KL54-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn KL54-1 service entrance splice take?
The KL54-1 is a two-conductor splice sized for 4/0 on the A side and 2 on the B side, so it joins a 4/0 run to a #2 conductor rather than two like sizes. If both of your conductors are the same gauge, you want a same-size splice instead.
2) Do I need a crimp tool for the KL54-1, or does it tighten with set screws?
It's a compression connection, not a mechanical set-screw lug, so it has to be crimped with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the correct die for the barrel. There is no bolt or screw to torque.
3) Does this splice come insulated, or do I have to tape or heat-shrink it?
No insulation is supplied on the KL54-1, it is a bare compression barrel. You provide the covering yourself, typically heat shrink tubing or an insulating boot sized to the 3-1/2 inch body plus the cable jackets.
4) Does this Blackburn splice meet ANSI C119.4 for underground and service connectors?
Yes. The KL54-1 passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the standard covering electric connectors for use between aluminum and copper bare conductors. That is the spec most utilities and inspectors cite on service entrance splice work.
5) Is this an aluminum splice, and can I use it on copper conductors?
The KL54-1 is an aluminum-bodied service entrance splice, described as AL SERVENTR SPLICE. Aluminum compression bodies of this kind are commonly listed AL/CU, but the record here states only the aluminum construction, so match the body rating marked on the connector to the conductor metal you are terminating.
6) Is the KL54-1 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each, one splice per unit, so order the count you need for the job. Note that one KL54-1 handles a single 4/0-to-#2 joint, so a three-phase or multi-conductor service needs one per conductor.
7) What is the exact part number and where is this splice made?
Blackburn KL54-1 is the manufacturer part number, and it is made in Mexico. Use KL54-1 when ordering or cross-referencing, since the adjacent KL numbers in the series cover different conductor size combinations.
