Blackburn URB 26 SP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn URB 26 SP service entrance splice take?
The URB 26 SP covers the 2 through 6 AWG range, as the "2 6" in the catalog description indicates. It is an aluminum-bodied compression splice, so it is used on aluminum conductors and is rated for 2 to 6 AWG service entrance work.
2) Does the URB 26 SP come with insulation, or do I have to tape and seal the splice myself?
It ships insulated. The URB 26 SP carries a nylon sleeve over the barrel and includes the sealing package the "SP" suffix refers to, so you are not building up tape and mastic over a bare barrel after crimping.
3) Will this splice meet spec for an underground or wet-location service entrance connection?
The URB 26 SP is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and aluminum or aluminum and copper conductors, including sealed and submersible classes. Combined with the nylon sleeve and the sealing package, that is what makes it a service entrance splice rather than an indoor dry-location connector. Confirm the class letter required on your drawing matches the connector marking.
4) Do I need a crimp tool for the URB 26 SP, or can it be tightened with a wrench?
Compression only. The URB 26 SP has no set screws, so it is installed with a hydraulic or mechanical compression tool and the correct die for the barrel. If you want a connector you can install with a hex key or wrench, you need a set-screw or mechanical-type service entrance connector instead, not this one.
5) Can I use the URB 26 SP to splice aluminum service entrance conductors to copper?
The URB 26 SP is an aluminum service entrance compression splice. Aluminum-bodied compression splices in this class are used for aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper (AL/CU) service entrance splices when the connector is listed for it; what the product data states here is the aluminum body, the compression connection, and the 2 to 6 AWG range. If your job specifically requires a dual-rated AL/CU splice, verify the rating stamped on the barrel before crimping.
6) How many conductors does one URB 26 SP splice join?
One connector, one splice: the URB 26 SP takes two conductors, one in each end of the barrel. For a three-wire or four-wire service drop you need one splice per conductor being joined, and it is sold each rather than in a kit.
7) How long is the URB 26 SP barrel, and will it fit in a shallow meter socket or pedestal?
Overall length is 2-3/4 inches, so the finished splice plus the conductor bends on either side needs roughly four to five inches of clear run. In a tight meter socket gutter or a crowded pedestal, measure the available space before you crimp, since an in-line compression splice cannot be shortened after the fact.
8) Is the Blackburn URB 26 SP made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the URB 26 SP is the United States, which is what public agency and federally funded electrical work usually needs documented before the material is accepted on site.
