Blackburn AL 800 NTN-SSH LUG -ALUM-2 HOLE W/HARDWARE

The AL 800 NTN-SSH is sized for 800 kcmil conductor. It is a compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the conductor with a die-matched compression tool, not torqued down like a mechanical setscrew lug. Ordering is by the each, so count one lug per cable end.

The AL 800 NTN-SSH is an aluminum-bodied compression lug with a tin plated finish. Tin plating is what makes an aluminum barrel suitable for use with either aluminum or copper conductor and lets it land on a copper or aluminum pad without a dissimilar-metal problem at the joint. Match your crimp die to the 800 kcmil barrel and the conductor material called out on the lug body.

Two hole. A two hole tongue puts a second bolt through the pad, which stops the lug rotating under fault current or vibration and is what switchgear, panelboard, and transformer pad specifications normally call for on large conductor like 800 kcmil. A one hole lug is fine for a grounding pigtail or a small bus tap; on a main feeder termination the spec sheet usually says two hole.

It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors used between aluminum and aluminum or aluminum and copper conductors. That is the reference a utility, institutional, or inspection submittal normally wants on a compression lug of this class. Country of origin is the United States.

Hardware is included with the AL 800 NTN-SSH, so the bolts, nuts and washers for landing the tongue on the pad ship with the lug. What is not included is anything for the conductor end: you still need the correct compression die and tool for an 800 kcmil barrel, and the usual oxide inhibitor practice on aluminum conductor.

No insulation on this one. The barrel and tongue are bare tin plated aluminum, so in any application needing phase isolation or protection at the termination you add heat shrink, tape, or a boot yourself after the crimp. That is normal for large compression lugs landing inside gear where the enclosure provides the barrier.

One per conductor end. The AL 800 NTN-SSH is sold individually, not in a bag or kit, so a three phase plus neutral feeder terminated at both ends is eight lugs. Each one arrives with its own mounting hardware.
