Blackburn ATC 750 R 500-6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn ATC 750 R 500-6 aluminum reducer connect?
The ATC 750 R 500-6 is a tapered compression reducer that transitions a 750 conductor down to a 500. It is a splice-style reducer, so the run goes in one end and the smaller conductor lands in the other. The body is 6 inches long.
2) Do I need to tape or insulate this reducer after crimping?
Yes. The ATC 750 R 500-6 ships bare with no insulation on the body, so the splice has to be insulated in the field with tape, a cold-shrink, or heat-shrink tubing sized to the finished crimp.
3) Does the Blackburn ATC 750 R 500-6 meet the standard my spec calls out for compression connectors?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard for connectors used between aluminum and copper conductors on distribution systems. That is the reference most utility and commercial specs cite for compression splices. It is made in the United States.
4) Is this a mechanical set-screw connector or does it need a crimp tool?
It is a compression connector, so it needs a hydraulic crimper with the correct die for the conductor size at each end. There are no set screws and no bolts. If you want a tool-free termination, a mechanical set-screw reducer is the different product to look for.
5) Can I use this reducer to tap a branch off a running 750 feeder?
No. This is an inline splice reducer, not a run-and-tap H connector or a parallel tap. It joins one 750 conductor end to one 500 conductor end. For a branch off an uncut run you need a tap connector with a separate tap port.
6) Is this an aluminum connector, and can I use it on copper?
It is an aluminum-bodied tap compression reducer. Aluminum-bodied connectors of this style are commonly dual-rated AL/CU, but the rating is not carried in the spec data here, so order it for aluminum conductor work and confirm with the manufacturer before putting copper in it.
7) Is the ATC 750 R 500-6 sold by the piece or only in the 20-piece box?
The selling unit is each, so you can buy a single reducer. The 20 PC in the description refers to the manufacturer's standard carton quantity.
8) What part number do I give my supplier for the Blackburn 750 to 500 compression reducer?
Order Blackburn ATC 750 R 500-6. That is the manufacturer part number for the bare aluminum tapered compression reducer that steps 750 down to 500.
