Blackburn ASC 1500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn ASC 1500 splice made for aluminum conductor, and can I use it on copper?
The ASC 1500 is an aluminum straight splice for 1500 kcmil concentric conductor, made for aluminum cable. It is a compression connector, bare with no insulation, so any transition or dissimilar-metal use has to be handled with a connector rated for that service instead. For aluminum-to-aluminum inline splicing at 1500 kcmil, this is the part.
2) Does the ASC 1500 come insulated, or do I have to cover it after crimping?
It ships bare with no insulation. Once crimped you provide the covering yourself, typically heat shrink, a cold shrink sleeve, or tape build-up per your spec for the voltage class and location.
3) What standard does this aluminum compression splice meet?
The ASC 1500 is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and copper conductors in underground and aboveground power distribution. That is the citation most utility and institutional specs call out for compression splices.
4) Is the ASC 1500 a straight inline splice or a tap connector?
Straight inline. It joins two conductor ends end to end, one cable into each side of the barrel, so it is for extending or repairing a run rather than tapping a branch off a through conductor. For a branch you want an H-tap or a compression tap connector instead.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for the ASC 1500, or can it be bolted?
It is a compression-only connector, not a mechanical bolted lug, so it has to be crimped with a hydraulic compression tool and the die set matched to the barrel. There are no set screws or bolts on this splice.
6) What is the Blackburn part number to order for a 1500 kcmil aluminum straight splice?
Order Blackburn ASC 1500. That designation is the aluminum straight splice sized for 1500 kcmil concentric conductor.
7) Is the Blackburn ASC 1500 sold individually or in a box?
Sold each, so order one per splice point. On a two-cable-per-phase feeder repair, count every conductor end pair separately when you build the order.
8) Is this splice US made for Buy American or domestic preference jobs?
Country of origin on the ASC 1500 is the United States, which is what government, transit, and institutional projects with domestic sourcing language are usually asking for on connectors.
