Blackburn IKL67 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn IKL67 service entrance splice take?
The IKL67 is a reducing splice: one side takes 4/0 and the other takes 2/0, as the A:4/0 B:2/0 designation indicates. Both barrels are sized for a single conductor each, so it joins two runs of different size in one crimp rather than tapping multiple wires.
2) Can I use this splice on aluminum service entrance cable, or is it copper only?
The body is aluminum and it is built for aluminum service entrance conductors. Use an aluminum-bodied compression connector like the IKL67 on AL runs, and keep the joint filled with the appropriate oxide inhibitor per the connector's instructions. For a copper-to-copper service splice you want a copper compression sleeve instead.
3) Is this a compression splice or a set screw / mechanical connector?
Compression. The IKL67 is crimped with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the correct die, not tightened with an Allen key. If your crew is not carrying a compression tool on the truck, a set screw mechanical splice is the type to look for instead, because a compression barrel cannot be installed any other way.
4) How long is the IKL67 splice, and will it fit inside my meter socket or trough?
Two numbers matter for clearance: the splice measures 4 inches and the sleeve is 5-1/2 inches. Lay out 5-1/2 inches of straight, unobstructed length plus room for conductor bending radius on both sides before you commit to splicing inside a meter can, gutter, or pedestal.
5) Does this splice meet ANSI C119.4 for a utility service connection?
It passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4 and is RUS Listed, which is the pair of credentials a utility or rural co-op inspector typically looks for on an underground or service entrance connector submittal. Made in the United States.
6) I need to reduce from 4/0 to 2/0 on a service run. Do I need two connectors and a pigtail?
No. A reducing splice handles the size change in a single device, with a 4/0 barrel on one end and a 2/0 barrel on the other. That removes the second connection point and the short jumper you would otherwise have to make up, which matters when you are working inside a crowded gutter. If both of your conductors are the same size, use a straight splice rated for that size instead of this reducer.
7) Does the Blackburn IKL67 come with insulation, or do I have to tape and shrink it myself?
An insulating sleeve is part of the assembly, which is why the sleeve dimension (5-1/2 inches) is called out separately from the 4 inch splice barrel. You are not left with a bare crimp to build up with tape, though any field re-insulation should follow the jurisdiction's rules for the enclosure it sits in.
8) Is the IKL67 sold individually or in a bag of ten?
Sold each, so you order the exact count of splices the job calls for rather than a carton. Worth counting both ends of every reducer on the drawing before ordering, since each 4/0-to-2/0 transition needs its own unit.
