Blackburn C 6-6534 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn C 6-6534 compression splice take?
The C 6-6534 is a No. 6 copper compression splice, so it joins two #6 copper conductors. It is a butt splice with one conductor entering each end of the barrel, not a tap or a multi-port connector.
2) Is this splice insulated, or do I need to tape or heat shrink it?
No insulation on it. The C 6-6534 is a bare tin-plated copper barrel, so the splice has to be insulated in the field with tape, heat shrink, or a cold shrink sleeve wherever the application requires it. On grounding and bonding runs it is normally left bare.
3) Can I install a Blackburn copper compression splice with a mechanical set screw tool, or do I need a crimper?
It is a compression connector, so it needs a hydraulic or battery compression tool with the correct die. There are no set screws. Long barrel splices like this one are typically crimped with two or more sequential crimps along the barrel, one per conductor side.
4) Can this splice be used on aluminum conductors?
No. It is a copper compression splice and should be used on copper conductors only. The tin plating protects the copper barrel from corrosion and is also what allows contact with dissimilar metals in the surrounding hardware, but the conductors themselves need to be copper. For aluminum or AL/CU service you need a connector rated for that.
5) Why choose a long barrel splice over a standard barrel for a #6 copper run?
A long barrel gives more conductor contact length and room for multiple crimps per side, which is what you want on pull-loaded feeder and grounding electrode conductor splices. The C 6-6534 barrel measures 2.375 inches. A short barrel is fine in a tight box where the connector has to fold, but it gives you less crimp area.
6) Is this connector made in the USA for spec or Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the C 6-6534 copper compression splice is the United States, which is the detail institutional and government buyers usually need documented on the submittal.
7) Is the Blackburn C 6-6534 sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each. Order the quantity of splices you need for the job rather than by carton.
