Blackburn ATC 1500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn ATC 1500 tapered splice used for?
The Blackburn ATC 1500 is a compression splice for joining two conductors end to end, typically aluminum cable. It's a tapered concentric body, 9-3/4 inches long, bare (no insulation), and it joins 2 conductors. Once crimped it becomes a permanent joint, so it's used where a splice will stay put, not where you need to disconnect later.
2) Does the ATC 1500 splice come insulated, or do I have to insulate it myself?
It ships bare. Insulation material is listed as none and the surface finish is bare, so any insulating or re-jacketing over the completed crimp is on the installer, using tape, heat shrink, or a cover appropriate to the circuit voltage.
3) Is the Blackburn ATC 1500 a mechanical or a crimp connector?
Crimp. It's a compression splice, so it needs a hydraulic or battery compression tool with the correct die for the barrel, not a wrench. If the crew only has set-screw tooling on the truck, a mechanical splice is the better call for that job.
4) Does the ATC 1500 splice meet a recognized connector standard for spec work?
ANSI C119.4 is the standard listed for the ATC 1500, which is the connector standard covering electric cable connectors for use with aluminum and copper conductors. That's the reference a spec writer or inspector usually wants to see on an underground or pad-mount splice submittal.
5) How is the Blackburn ATC 1500 sold, and where is it made?
Sold as each, one splice per unit, under manufacturer part number ATC 1500. Country of origin is the United States, which matters if you're buying under a domestic-preference or Buy American requirement on a public project.
6) Will a 9-3/4 inch splice fit in my handhole or pedestal?
The finished body is 9-3/4 inches long, so plan on at least a foot of straight run plus bending room inside the enclosure once it's insulated. In tight pull boxes or shallow pedestals that length is the limiting factor, not the conductor size, so measure the box before committing to a full-length tapered splice.
