Blackburn IKL69 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn IKL69 service entrance splice take?
The IKL69 is a two-conductor splice sized 4/0 on both the A side and the B side, so it joins a 4/0 run to another 4/0 run. It is a straight in-line splice, not a reducer, so if one side of your run steps down to a smaller size you need a different catalog number.
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. Aluminum compression connectors of this type are normally filled with an oxide-inhibiting compound at the factory so the conductor seats without further prep; the splice itself carries insulation as supplied.
3) Is the IKL69 a compression splice or a set-screw connector?
Compression. It has to be crimped with a die-type compression tool, so plan on the correct die and a hydraulic or battery crimper on site. If you want a connector you can install with a hex key instead, you need a set-screw or mechanical service entrance splice, not this one.
4) Does the Blackburn IKL69 splice meet ANSI C119.4 for underground and service entrance connectors?
Yes. The IKL69 passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4 and is RUS Listed, which is what utility and co-op specs typically call out for service entrance and underground splices.
5) How long is the sleeve on the IKL69, and will it fit inside my pedestal or handhole?
The splice measures 4 inches with a 5-1/2 inch sleeve, so allow at least that much straight length plus conductor training room inside a pedestal, handhole, or meter socket gutter before you commit to it.
6) Is this Blackburn splice made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the IKL69 is the United States, which is what government, utility, and institutional buyers need for domestic-content requirements on electrical material.
7) Is the IKL69 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each. One purchase gets one splice, so count one per conductor being joined, not one per cable, when you order for a multi-conductor service.
8) Do I still need to tape or insulate over this splice after crimping?
The IKL69 comes insulated, so it is not a bare barrel needing a full tape build-up as a matter of course. Confirm what your inspector or utility standard requires for the specific application, since wet-location and direct-burial practices vary.
