Blackburn CFS44-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn CFS44-1 copper H tap accept?
The CFS44-1 is sized by conductor diameter, not by AWG marking: the main run conductor can measure .204 to .162 inch, and the tap conductor .128 to .204 inch. Measure the bare conductor with calipers before you crimp. If either conductor falls outside that window, the compression will not form a sound connection and you need a different H tap size in the series.
2) Is the Blackburn CFS44-1 H tap crimped or bolted?
Crimped. It's a compression connector, so it's installed with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the correct die for the C-tap size, then dead-ended permanently. There's no bolt or set screw to retorque later. If you need a connection you can open up for testing or reuse, use a bolted split-bolt or mechanical tap instead.
3) Does the Blackburn CFS44-1 come insulated, or do I have to tape or use a cover?
It ships bare copper with no insulation on the connector body, so the finished tap has to be insulated in the field, typically with tape, a heat shrink sleeve, or a snap-on C-tap cover sized to the connector. Budget that into the job; it isn't included with the connector.
4) Can I use the Blackburn CFS44-1 copper H tap on aluminum conductors?
No. It's a copper H tap, intended for copper-to-copper taps only. Putting bare copper on aluminum creates a dissimilar-metal joint that corrodes. For aluminum or mixed copper-to-aluminum work, use a compression tap rated AL9CU or an aluminum-bodied connector with an oxide inhibitor.
5) How long is the Blackburn CFS44-1 C-tap body, and will it fit inside a tight splice box or pedestal?
The connector measures 13/16 inch in length, which is a short crimp barrel, so it fits readily in pedestals, handholes and shallow gutter spaces. Allow room around it for your die head and for whatever insulating cover or tape wrap you use, since the connector itself is bare.
6) Is the Blackburn CFS44-1 accepted for utility and rural electric work?
It carries RUS acceptance, which is what utility, rural electric cooperative and many municipal distribution specs call for on underground and pedestal tap connections. That's the acceptance stated for this connector; no other listing is claimed for it.
7) How is the Blackburn CFS44-1 sold, individually or in a bag?
Sold each. Order the exact count you need per tap point, and remember each finished connection also needs an insulating cover or tape, which is separate.
8) What is the exact part number and origin for the Blackburn copper H tap so I can match a spec?
Blackburn CFS44-1 is the manufacturer part number, and the connector is made in Mexico. If the drawing calls out a C-tap by conductor range rather than by number, match it against the main range of .204 to .162 inch and tap range of .128 to .204 inch.
