Blackburn SG 1010 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn SG 1010 splice take?
The SG 1010 is a straight compression splice sized for 1/0 to 1/0 conductor, so both ends take the same 1/0 wire. It joins two conductors end to end, one per barrel.
2) What crimp die do I need for the Blackburn SG 1010 splice?
Die index 5/8 is called out for the SG 1010. Set your hydraulic or battery compression tool to the 5/8 die and make the number of crimps per barrel the tool manufacturer specifies for that index.
3) What standard does the SG 1010 compression splice meet for a spec-driven job?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and aluminum or aluminum and copper conductors. That is the reference a utility or institutional spec normally cites for underground and general splice work.
4) Does the Blackburn SG 1010 splice come insulated?
No insulation on it. The SG 1010 is a bare tin-plated aluminum barrel, so you cover the joint yourself with heat shrink, a cold shrink sleeve, or tape build-up rated for the circuit voltage. Plan the insulation length around a 2 inch barrel.
5) Is this a compression splice or a mechanical set-screw connector?
Compression. The SG 1010 has to be crimped with a die tool (5/8 index), which gives a permanent, non-reenterable joint. If you need a connection you can open later or install without a hydraulic tool, use a mechanical set-screw splice instead, not this one.
6) Is the SG 1010 a straight splice or a reducing splice?
Straight. Both barrels are 1/0, so it is for joining like to like. If you are stepping from one conductor size to another, you need a reducing splice, not this part number.
7) Will the SG 1010 fit inside a standard splice box or conduit body?
The barrel is 2 inches long, and with insulation built over it you should figure on more than that for the finished joint. For 1/0 conductor in a pull box or handhole, check your bending space against that 2 inch body plus your shrink sleeve length before you commit to the location.
8) How is the Blackburn SG 1010 sold, and where is it made?
Sold individually, each, and made in the United States. If you are splicing a three-phase run you will need one per conductor, so count accordingly.
