Blackburn AMTS50046 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor range does the Blackburn AMTS50046 multi-tap connector accept?
The AMTS50046 is a 500-4 range connector, so each of its six ports takes conductors from 500 kcmil down to 4 AWG. If your run is smaller than 4 AWG or larger than 500 kcmil, you need a different range block, not this one.
2) Is the AMTS50046 a same-side or opposite-side entry insulated tap block?
Same side. All six ports on this Blackburn AMT block land from one face, which is what you want when the feeder and all taps come into the gutter or enclosure from a single direction. If your taps approach from both sides of the block, look for an opposite-side-entry version instead.
3) Does the AMTS50046 come with its own insulating cover, or do I need to tape it out?
It is an insulated connector, supplied as a black insulated block, so no separate cover kit or tape build-up is required to finish the splice. The insulation is part of the assembly, unlike a bare mechanical tap that has to be taped or boot-covered in the field.
4) What voltage is the Blackburn AMTS50046 insulated connector rated for?
600 V. That covers standard 120/208, 277/480 and 600 V commercial and industrial distribution work, and it is UL listed under file E9809.
5) Can I use this Blackburn AMT block on both copper and aluminum conductors?
The current-carrying body of the AMTS50046 is aluminum, which is the standard construction for dual-rated AL9CU mechanical taps. Confirm the AL9CU marking stamped on the block itself before terminating copper, since that marking is the governing rating on any mechanical connector.
6) How many taps can I pull off one AMTS50046, and is it sold individually?
Six positions total, so one feeder in and up to five taps out of a single block, and it is sold each rather than in a multi-pack. For a service or panel feed where you need more than six landings, run two blocks or step up to a higher-position AMT.
7) Is the Blackburn AMTS50046 made in the USA for Buy American projects?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what a government, school district or federal contract submittal typically needs documented. The part number to list on the submittal is AMTS50046.
