Blackburn GLE 2-48 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn GLE 2-48 lug take?
The GLE 2-48 is sized for #2 AWG stranded conductor. It is a one hole compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the conductor with the matching die rather than tightened with a set screw. If your run is a different gauge, you need a different catalog number, not a different die.
2) What size bolt does the GLE 2-48 lug pad accept?
The pad is drilled for a 1/2 inch bolt, single hole. That matches the 1/2 inch stud or bolt hole commonly found on panel ground bars, breaker lugs and bus pads. One hole means the lug can rotate on the stud, so if you need anti-rotation on a bus bar you want a two hole lug instead.
3) Is the GLE 2-48 insulated, and do I need to tape or boot the barrel?
There is no insulation on it. Insulation material is listed as none and the finish is bare aluminum, so in any application needing the barrel covered you supply heat shrink or a separate insulating boot. Bare metal also means you should brush and apply an oxide inhibiting compound to aluminum conductor before crimping.
4) What crimp die do I use on a CSA die compression lug like this one?
The GLE 2-48 is a CSA die type compression lug, meaning the barrel is stamped with the die index the tool must use. Read the index off the lug and set your hydraulic or battery crimper to that die. A generic "#2 AWG" die setting is not a substitute; using the wrong die gives a crimp that will not meet the ANSI C119.4 performance the connector is rated to.
5) Is the Blackburn GLE 2-48 made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin is the United States. That is the detail institutional and government procurement buyers need for Buy American or domestic preference documentation on a project, alongside the ANSI C119.4 conformance.
6) Should I use a compression lug or a mechanical set screw lug for a #2 feeder?
Compression, like the GLE 2-48, is a permanent termination: one crimp with the correct die and there is nothing to re-torque later, which is why it is preferred on gutters and ground bars that get inspected and closed up. A mechanical set screw lug is the choice when you may need to remove the conductor, or when you have no crimper on site. Trade-off is tooling: the compression lug is useless without the right die.
7) How long is the Blackburn GLE 2-48 lug?
Overall length is 3.13 inches. Worth checking against your gutter or enclosure before ordering, since a one hole compression lug on #2 needs bending room for the conductor plus that barrel length inside the box.
8) Is the GLE 2-48 sold individually or in a bag of ten?
Sold each. For a three phase plus neutral and ground termination you would order the quantity you need lug by lug rather than buying a pack.
