Blackburn PTC 2000 R 1750 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn PTC 2000 R 1750 reducer actually do?
It is a copper compression splice that steps a 2000 kcmil conductor down to a 1750 kcmil conductor in a straight inline run. Both ends are crimped, not bolted, so once the dies are set the splice is permanent. It joins two conductors, one per end.
2) Can I use this splice on a 2000 kcmil to 1750 kcmil transition inside a manhole or wet pull box?
The PTC 2000 R 1750 is rated for harsh environments and the barrel is tin-plated over copper, which is what you want where moisture and corrosion are in play. It ships bare with no insulation, so you supply the taping, heat shrink, or mold-on cover to rebuild the insulation system after crimping.
3) How long is the Blackburn PTC 2000 R 1750 barrel, and will it fit in my splice box?
Overall length is 7.938 inches. On large kcmil splices that length plus bending radius on 2000 and 1750 kcmil cable is usually what governs, so measure the clear space in the enclosure before you commit, and allow room for the crimp head to swing around the barrel.
4) Can I use this copper reducer on aluminum conductors?
No. The barrel is copper with tin plating, sized for copper 2000 kcmil to 1750 kcmil. For aluminum or an aluminum-to-copper transition you need a connector rated for that combination, typically an AL9CU dual-rated body with inhibitor, not this copper-only splice.
5) Is this a tap connector or an inline splice?
Inline splice. It is a tapered reducer barrel, so the two conductors enter opposite ends on the same axis. For a branch coming off the side of a run at an angle, you need an H-tap or a tee connector instead, not this part.
6) Do I need a hydraulic crimper for the Blackburn PTC 2000 R 1750, or can I bolt it?
There is no bolt or set screw on it. It is a compression-only fitting, and at 2000 kcmil that means a hydraulic tool with the correct die and number of crimps per end. If you need a mechanical connection you can install with hand tools, look at a set-screw or bolted reducer instead of this barrel.
7) Is the Blackburn PTC 2000 R 1750 made in the USA for a public works spec?
Country of origin is the United States, which is the line most municipal and federal jobs want to see on the submittal. The part number to list is PTC 2000 R 1750, Blackburn.
8) Does the PTC 2000 R 1750 come as a single piece or in a pack?
Sold each, one barrel per unit. If you are splicing a three-phase run plus neutral, order one per conductor transition.
