Blackburn SAC 1000CPTR750CPTTN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn SAC 1000CPTR750CPTTN reducing splice join?
It's a reducing splice built to connect a 1000 kcmil compact conductor to a 750 kcmil compact conductor, which is what the model designation 1000CPTR750CPT spells out. Both ends are compression barrels, so each side is crimped onto its own size of conductor. If both of your cables are the same size, you want a straight splice rather than a reducer.
2) Is this Blackburn splice insulated, or do I have to tape or shrink over it?
There is no insulation on the SAC 1000CPTR750CPTTN, the insulation material is listed as none. It's a bare tin plated aluminum barrel, so the splice has to be re-insulated in the field with tape, heat shrink or a cold shrink sleeve sized for a 1.841 inch outside diameter body.
3) Can I use this aluminum compression splice on copper conductors?
Yes. The SAC 1000CPTR750CPTTN is tin plated aluminum, and tin plating over aluminum is what makes a connector suitable for both aluminum and copper conductors. It's tested to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for aluminum and copper conductors in underground and aboveground applications. Use the correct oxide inhibitor and crimp practice for the conductor you're landing.
4) Does it matter if my 1000 and 750 conductors are compact or concentric stranded?
It matters. Both barrels on the SAC 1000CPTR750CPTTN are sized for compact stranded conductor, 1000 kcmil on one end and 750 kcmil on the other. Compact strand has a smaller outside diameter than concentric or compressed strand of the same kcmil, so a concentric cable may not enter the barrel. Check the conductor stranding class before you order.
5) Will this splice fit inside my junction box or handhole?
Plan for a body 7 inches long with a 1.841 inch outside diameter, plus room for the crimp tool jaws on each end and whatever insulating sleeve you add over it. In a tight box or a shallow handhole that length is usually the limiting factor, not the diameter.
6) Does this Blackburn splice need a crimp tool, or can it be bolted or set screw tightened?
Compression only. This is a die-crimped barrel, so it takes a hydraulic compression tool with the die set matched to the barrel on each end. If you need a connection you can make with a wrench, look at a mechanical set screw or bolted reducer instead of this one.
7) Does the Blackburn SAC 1000CPTR750CPTTN meet ANSI C119.4 and is it US made?
It's listed to ANSI C119.4, the connector standard specifiers commonly call out on service entrance and feeder splices, and country of origin is the United States. For agency submittals that's the standard to reference on the transmittal.
8) Is this splice sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each, one splice per unit. For a three phase feeder transition you'd order three, plus one more if you're reducing the neutral as well.
