Blackburn AMTS50043 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor range does the Blackburn AMTS50043 AMT connector accept?
The AMTS50043 is a 3-port AMT tap connector rated for conductors from 500 kcmil down to No. 4, per the AMT 3 PORT 500-No4 designation. All three ports enter from the same side of the body, so your run and taps land on a common face rather than opposite ends.
2) Is the AMTS50043 rated for 600 volt service?
Yes, 600 V is the rating on this Blackburn AMT tap, and it carries a UL listing under file E9809. That covers typical commercial feeder and branch circuit work at 600 V and below.
3) Can I use the Blackburn AMTS50043 on copper and aluminum conductors?
The connector body is aluminum, and Blackburn's AMT taps are built for dual-rated service. Verify the AL9CU marking stamped on the body against your conductor material before torquing, since that stamp is what governs the installation.
4) What is a same-side AMT connector used for versus an inline tap?
A same-side tap like the AMTS50043 brings all three conductors in on one face, which is what you want in a shallow pull box, gutter, or panel where you cannot bring a conductor around to the far end. An opposite-side or inline version suits a straight through-run where the main continues past the tap point. Pick by how your conductors approach the box, not by ampacity, since the range is the same.
5) Does the Blackburn AMTS50043 need an insulating cover?
It ships as a bare black aluminum tap body, sold each, so any insulation required by your installation is a separate item. In a gutter, panel, or enclosure where the connection is inside a grounded enclosure, many jobs leave it bare; where it needs covering, order the matching AMT insulating cover or tape and re-insulate to the 600 V rating.
6) Is the Blackburn AMTS50043 made in the USA for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin on the AMTS50043 is the United States, which is the line item a government, school, or healthcare procurement package usually needs for a domestic-content submittal. The UL file number, E9809, is the other value typically requested on that same form.
7) How do I order the right Blackburn AMT tap for a 3-port job?
Order by the manufacturer part number, AMTS50043. That single number fixes the port count at three, the conductor range at 500 kcmil to No. 4, and the same-side port orientation. It is sold as a single piece, so quantity is per tap point, not per port.
