Blackburn GLE 350-48 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn GLE 350-48 lug take?
The GLE 350-48 is sized for 350 kcmil conductor. It's a compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the cable with a die rather than tightened with a setscrew. If your feeder is a different kcmil size, you need the matching GLE part, not this one.
2) Will a 1/2 inch bolt fit the pad on this Blackburn aluminum lug?
Yes. The GLE 350-48 has a single bolt hole sized for 1/2 inch hardware, so it lands on a busbar or equipment pad drilled for a 1/2 inch stud or bolt. One hole only, so there is no NEMA two-hole pad here.
3) Can I use this aluminum compression lug on copper cable?
The GLE 350-48 is an aluminum-body compression lug. Blackburn GLE lugs of this type are dual-rated AL/CU connectors, but the deciding factor on your job is the conductor size: it is built for 350 kcmil. Crimp it with the CSA die series the lug is marked for, since it is a CSA-die compression lug rather than a mechanical setscrew connector.
4) Does this lug come insulated or with a heat shrink sleeve?
No insulation. The GLE 350-48 is supplied bare with no insulating material on the barrel, so if the termination needs covering you supply your own heat shrink or boot separately.
5) What standard is this 350 kcmil compression lug tested to?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and aluminum or aluminum and copper conductors. That is the spec an inspector or engineer will be looking for on a feeder termination.
6) How long is the Blackburn GLE 350-48 lug, and will it clear inside my gutter?
Overall length is 3.75 inches. Check that against the bending space you have between the cable entry and the bus pad, since a 350 kcmil conductor plus a 3.75 inch lug needs real room in a trough or panel wireway.
7) What is the difference between a compression lug like this and a mechanical setscrew lug?
The GLE 350-48 is a compression type: you strip the cable, insert it in the barrel, and crimp with the correct die, which gives a permanent, tamper-free termination with no torque to re-check. A mechanical setscrew lug installs with a hex key and no crimper, and can be taken apart and reused, but it needs torque verified. Pick compression when you want a sealed, maintenance-free feeder termination and have the tool on site.
8) Is the GLE 350-48 sold each or in a box?
Sold each. Order one per conductor termination, so a three phase plus neutral feeder run needs four, and count both ends if you are terminating at each end.
9) Is this Blackburn lug made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the GLE 350-48 is the United States, which is what public works and federal procurement buyers usually need documented for domestic-content requirements.
