Blackburn AMTD50042 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire range does the Blackburn AMTD50042 multi-tap connector accept?
The AMTD50042 is a 500-4 port connector, so each of its two ports takes conductors from 500 kcmil down to 4 AWG. It is a double sided design, meaning ports open on both sides of the body for run and tap conductors entering from opposite directions.
2) Is the Blackburn AMTD50042 rated for 600 volt service?
Yes, it carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard commercial and industrial feeder and branch circuit work up to 600 volts. It is UL listed under file E9809.
3) Can I use this Blackburn AMT connector on copper and aluminum conductors?
The body of the AMTD50042 is aluminum, which is what allows a mechanical tap connector to be used on aluminum as well as copper conductors. Use an approved joint compound on aluminum conductors and torque each port screw to the value marked on the connector.
4) Why choose a double sided two port tap instead of a single sided connector?
Double sided means the two ports face opposite directions, so a run conductor coming in from one side and a tap leaving from the other land without bending cable back on itself. In a tight gutter or pull box that saves bending radius. If both conductors approach from the same side, a single sided multi-tap body is the easier install.
5) Does the Blackburn AMTD50042 come insulated or do I need a cover?
It ships as a bare aluminum connector body, one per order. For insulated applications you will need to add a separate cover or insulate the finished splice with tape or heat shrink to maintain the 600 V rating.
6) Is the Blackburn AMTD50042 made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters on federally funded and Buy American specified projects where domestic sourcing has to be documented.
7) Is the AMTD50042 sold individually or in a pack?
Sold each. Multi-tap connectors are typically ordered one per splice point, so count your tap locations rather than assuming a carton quantity.
