Blackburn ATC 1250 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn ATC 1250 splice used for?
The ATC 1250 is an aluminum tapered compression splice for joining two conductors end to end, sized for 1250 concentric conductor. It is a compression connector, so it is installed with a hydraulic crimp tool and the correct die, not bolted. Two conductors total, one in each end of the barrel.
2) Does the Blackburn ATC 1250 meet a recognized connector standard for utility work?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors used between aluminum and copper conductors in underground and aboveground distribution. That is the spec most utility and institutional connector submittals call out.
3) How long is the ATC 1250 splice barrel, and will it fit in my splice box?
It measures 9-3/4 inches long overall. On a tapered 1250 splice that length matters more than most people expect: you need straight conductor either side of the crimp and enough clearance to get the crimp head around the barrel, so check your pull box or manhole working space before ordering.
4) Can I use the ATC 1250 to splice copper cable, or is it aluminum only?
The body is aluminum and the splice is described as an AL tapered splice for 1250 concentric conductor. Match it to the conductor it is specified for; for copper-to-aluminum transitions confirm the connector is rated for that combination before you crimp.
5) What is the difference between a tapered compression splice and a mechanical bolted splice?
A tapered compression splice like the ATC 1250 is crimped permanently onto the conductor with a hydraulic tool and die, giving a fixed, non-reusable joint with a smooth tapered profile that sheds voltage stress and takes a shrink sleeve cleanly. A mechanical bolted splice is torqued on and can be taken apart, which is handy for temporary or serviceable connections but bulkier and needs periodic re-torque. If the joint is going in a duct, manhole or direct burial and stays put, compression is the type to use.
6) Is the Blackburn ATC 1250 sold individually or in a pack?
Sold each, one splice per unit, under manufacturer part number ATC 1250. Order the quantity of joints you need plus spares, since a mis-crimped compression splice cannot be reused.
