Blackburn PTC 800 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn PTC 800 tap splice crimped or does it use set screws?
The PTC 800 is a compression connector. It gets crimped with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the correct die, not tightened with a set screw or bolt. Once crimped it is a permanent splice, so plan the conductor lengths before you press it.
2) How many conductors does the Blackburn PTC 800 splice accept?
Two. It is a two-conductor compression splice, so it joins a run conductor to a single tap or splices two cable ends. If you need to bring in a third conductor you will need a different connector body.
3) Does the PTC 800 tap splice come insulated, or do I have to tape or shrink it?
It ships bare. The insulation material is listed as none, so the installer provides the covering, typically heat shrink or tape rated for the circuit voltage, after the crimp is made and inspected.
4) Is the PTC 800 splice suitable for aluminum conductors or copper only?
Copper. The body is copper with tin plating, so use it on copper conductors. For an aluminum-to-copper transition you want a connector specifically listed AL9CU, not this one.
5) How long is the Blackburn PTC 800 connector barrel?
Overall length is 4-7/32 inches. That matters in a tight pull box or a crowded gutter, because you need room for the body plus the jaws of the compression tool on either side of the crimp.
6) Can the Blackburn PTC 800 be used in a wet or corrosive location?
It is rated for harsh environments and the copper body is tin-plated, which is the standard plating for resisting corrosion and for keeping a copper connector serviceable in damp or industrial settings. It still needs an appropriate insulating cover and, where required, a sealant appropriate to the application.
7) Is the Blackburn PTC 800 sold individually or in a box?
Sold each. One connector per unit, so order the count you need for the job rather than by carton.
8) What part number do I give my distributor for the Blackburn oil stop tap splice?
Blackburn PTC 800. It is a tin-plated copper tapered compression tap splice with an oil stop feature, made in the United States.
