Blackburn 1000 T 1000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn 1000 T 1000 connector insulated, or does it need to be taped or covered after crimping?
Bare metal, no insulation on the body. The insulation material is listed as none, so the installer has to insulate the finished joint in the field, typically with tape or a cover kit suited to the voltage and the location. Plan for that material on the job.
2) What size is the Blackburn 1000 T 1000 tap connector body?
The main barrel runs 9.5 inches long at 1.50 inch diameter, and the tap barrel is 4.00 inches long, also 1.50 inch diameter. That is a large-diameter H-style tap, so check you have the working room in the enclosure or handhole before you commit to it, and confirm your crimp tool and die set will close a 1.50 inch barrel.
3) Is this a mechanical set screw lug or a crimp connector?
It is a compression connector, not a set screw type. The barrels are crimped onto the conductors with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the correct die, which makes it a permanent, non-reusable splice once pressed.
4) How many conductors does the Blackburn 1000 T 1000 splice handle?
Three conductors total: the run enters and exits the main barrel and the tap conductor lands in the perpendicular tap barrel. That is the classic tap or T connection for branching off a service run without cutting it into a straight splice.
5) Is this compression tap suitable for aluminum conductors as well as copper?
The body is tin-plated, which is the plating used on connectors intended to resist oxidation at the aluminum interface and to allow dual-rated use. Match the connector to the conductor material and size called out in your die chart before crimping.
6) Do I get one connector or a box when I order the Blackburn 1000 T 1000?
It sells each, so one connector per unit ordered. For a three-phase service tap you will need three, plus a neutral if you are tapping that too.
7) Is the Blackburn 1000 T 1000 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are on a government, institutional, or federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements in the spec.
8) What is the correct part number to order for the Blackburn 1000 T 1000?
Order it as Blackburn manufacturer part number 1000 T 1000, a wire or cable compression splice for service entrance tap work. The spacing in the number is part of the designation, so quote it exactly when matching a submittal.
