Blackburn Q 1 U 52 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn Q 1 U 52 compression splice used for?
It's an uninsulated compression splice for service entrance wire, joining two conductors end to end with a crimped connection rather than a mechanical set screw. The barrel is bare metal with no insulating jacket, so the joint has to be taped or covered after crimping if the installation calls for it.
2) How many wires does the Q 1 U 52 splice take?
Two. It's a two-conductor splice, one wire in each end of the barrel, so it is for a straight run splice and not for tapping a third conductor off the joint.
3) Do I need a crimp tool for this splice, or can I tighten it with a wrench?
A crimp tool is required. This is a compression connector, not a set screw or mechanical type, so it has to be pressed with a compression tool using the green die called out on the barrel. If you want a splice you can install with a hex key or wrench, you need a mechanical set screw splice instead.
4) Is the Blackburn Q 1 U 52 insulated, or do I have to tape it?
Bare barrel, no insulation of any kind. Once crimped, the joint is conductive metal on the outside, so it needs tape, heat shrink, or an insulating cover if it isn't landing inside a suitably rated enclosure. If you'd rather not do that step in the field, look for a pre insulated splice in the same wire range.
5) What does the green/green color code on the Blackburn Q 1 U 52 mean?
Green/Green is the die color code marked on the connector. Both crimp ends call for the same green die, so one die setting does the whole splice, no changing tooling between the two barrels.
6) What is the exact part number to order this Blackburn service entrance splice?
Blackburn Q 1 U 52. That's the manufacturer part number, and the U in it denotes the uninsulated version of the connector, which matches the bare barrel construction.
7) Is the Q 1 U 52 sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each. One splice per unit, so order the count you need for the job rather than by package.
8) Where is the Blackburn Q 1 U 52 splice made?
Made in the United States, which matters on public work or any job carrying domestic sourcing language in the spec.
