Blackburn ATC 1000-7 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn ATC 1000-7 compression splice take?
The ATC 1000-7 is an aluminum tap compression splice sized for 1000 kcmil conductor, and it joins two conductors. The barrel is 7 inches long, so plan your cable prep and die passes around that length.
2) Is the ATC 1000-7 splice insulated, or do I have to tape or sleeve it?
It ships bare with no insulation on the connector, so the splice has to be insulated in the field. On a 7 inch barrel that means enough tape, heat shrink or a cold shrink sleeve to cover the full body plus overlap onto the cable jacket at both ends.
3) Can I use this Blackburn aluminum splice on copper cable?
The ATC 1000-7 is an aluminum-bodied tap compression splice. Aluminum-bodied connectors of this kind are used on aluminum conductor; for a copper run, or for a copper-to-aluminum transition, specify a connector rated for those conductor materials instead.
4) Does the ATC 1000-7 meet a recognized connector standard for utility and MRO specs?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper bare overhead conductors. If your drawing calls out C119.4 compression connectors, this splice answers that line item.
5) Is this a bolted connector or does it need a hydraulic crimper?
Compression only. The ATC 1000-7 is installed with a hydraulic compression tool and the correct die for the barrel, not with bolts or set screws. If you want a connection you can take apart or torque with a wrench, use a mechanical bolted splice instead.
6) Is the ATC 1000-7 sold individually or in a box?
It sells each, one splice per unit, so order one per connection you are making. Count your taps before you order, since a bare compression splice is not reusable once it is crimped.
7) Where is the Blackburn ATC 1000-7 made?
Manufactured in the United States, which matters if you are buying under a domestic-preference or Buy American procurement requirement on a public project.
8) What is the Blackburn part number for the 1000 kcmil aluminum tap compression splice?
The manufacturer part number is ATC 1000-7, the 7 indicating the 7 inch splice length. Quote it as-is when cross-referencing against a distributor line sheet.
