Blackburn RC336 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor does the Blackburn RC336 compression splice fit?
The RC336 is a full tension distribution compression splice sized for 336 ACSR conductor. It joins two conductor ends, so it is a single in-line splice, not a tap or a multi-port connector. If your line is a different ACSR size, you need the matching RC catalog number rather than this one.
2) Does the RC336 splice carry the full mechanical load of the line, or is it electrical only?
It is a full tension distribution splice, meaning it is intended to carry the conductor's mechanical tension across the joint as well as the current. That is the difference between this and a non-tension repair sleeve, which only maintains the electrical path and must be supported by other means.
3) How long is the RC336 splice barrel, and how much working room do I need on the line?
Overall length is 19-1/4 inches, so plan for roughly that much straight, accessible conductor between supports plus room to swing the compression tool through the full die sequence. It is a long-barrel tension splice, not a short sleeve.
4) Is the Blackburn RC336 a bolted or compression connector?
Compression only. It is installed with a hydraulic compression tool and the correct dies, permanently crimped onto the conductor ends. There are no bolts to torque and it cannot be re-opened or re-tensioned once crimped.
5) What standard does the Blackburn RC336 splice meet?
The RC336 is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and aluminum or aluminum and copper bare overhead conductors. For utility and municipal specs that call out C119.4 class ratings on distribution splices, that is the reference to cite.
6) Does the RC336 come insulated, or do I need to cover it after crimping?
Bare, with no insulation on the connector. It is for bare overhead distribution conductor. If the application needs a covering, that is a separate item you supply.
7) Is the Blackburn RC336 sold individually or in a box quantity?
Sold each. One catalog number RC336 gets you one splice, so count one per conductor joint, per phase, when you are pulling material for a reconductoring job.
8) Where is the Blackburn RC336 splice manufactured?
Country of origin is Mexico. That is the detail agencies and utilities usually want for domestic-preference or procurement documentation on a bid package.
