Blackburn ATS4-S – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn ATS4-S automatic tension splice take?
The ATS4-S is the size 4 automatic tension splice, color coded orange, with an overall body length of 11.50 inches. On automatic splices the color code is how you confirm the right unit on the reel deck before you insert the conductor, so match the orange band to a #4 conductor and check that you have the 11.50 inch clearance in the span or on the rack.
2) Do I need a compression tool or dies to install the Blackburn ATS4-S?
No press or dies are needed. An automatic tension splice grips the conductor with internal jaws that set under line tension, which is why utility and line crews use them for in span repairs where dragging a hydraulic compression tool up to the work point is not practical. If your spec calls for a compressed full tension joint instead, you want a compression splice and the matching die set, not the ATS4-S.
3) Is the Blackburn ATS4-S sold individually or in a box?
It is sold each, so one order line gets you one splice. Crews running a repair or a reconductor job usually order one per conductor break plus spares, since an automatic splice is a one shot device and cannot be reset once the conductor is driven into the jaws.
4) What is the correct manufacturer part number to order the Blackburn size 4 orange automatic splice?
Order it as Blackburn ATS4-S. That is the manufacturer part number carried on the unit, and the ATS prefix identifies the automatic tension splice line, with the 4 calling out the conductor size and the orange color code confirming it in the field.
5) Where is the Blackburn ATS4-S manufactured, for buyers with country of origin reporting requirements?
Country of origin is Mexico. Government, utility and institutional purchasers who have to file origin documentation on electrical material can record it as MX for this splice.
