Blackburn IPC 402-8 N – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn IPC 402-8 N tap connector accept?
The IPC 402-8 N takes a main run of #2 through 4/0 AWG and a tap of #12 through #4 AWG. If your tap conductor is larger than #4 or your run conductor smaller than #2, this is the wrong body size for the splice.
2) Is the Blackburn IPC 402-8 N insulated, or do I need to cover it after installation?
It ships bare. Insulation material is listed as none, so the connector body is uninsulated aluminum and the completed tap has to be insulated in the field or housed in an enclosure rated for the application.
3) Can I use this Blackburn neutral tap connector on copper conductors as well as aluminum?
The body is aluminum with a tin plated finish. Tin plating over aluminum is the standard construction for dual rated connectors, and it is what protects the aluminum from direct contact with copper. Match the connector's rating marking to your conductor metal on the part itself before you land the wire.
4) Is this a mechanical setscrew connector or a compression lug?
Mechanical. The IPC 402-8 N is tightened with a setscrew, so no hydraulic crimper or die set is needed, which is why it gets used for service neutral taps in meter sockets and pedestals where a crimp tool will not fit.
5) Does the Blackburn IPC 402-8 N come in a multi-pack or is it sold individually?
Sold each. One connector per unit, so order by the number of taps you are making rather than by the box.
6) What exact part number should I order for this Blackburn neutral tap connector?
Order Blackburn IPC 402-8 N. That is the manufacturer part number as marked, and it is the single configuration offered, so there is no finish or size suffix to specify.
