Blackburn WS 10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor does the Blackburn WS 10 compression splice take?
The WS 10 is an aluminum full-tension compression splice sized for 1/0 AAC (all-aluminum conductor) and ACSR, per the Blackburn part description. It joins two conductor ends, so one splice completes one break in the run.
2) Is the WS 10 a full-tension splice or just an electrical jumper connection?
Full tension. That means it is built to carry the mechanical pull of the conductor across the splice, not only the current, so it can be used in a span rather than only at a slack termination. It is a compression fitting, installed with a die-and-press tool rather than bolted.
3) Does this Blackburn splice meet a recognized connector standard for utility work?
The WS 10 is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering electrical connectors for aluminum and copper conductors. That is the reference most utility and municipal specs call out for overhead and service conductor splices.
4) Can I use the WS 10 on copper conductor?
It is an aluminum splice sized for 1/0 aluminum conductor (AAC and ACSR). For a copper run, or for a copper-to-aluminum transition, you need a connector rated for that combination instead, not this one.
5) Does the Blackburn WS 10 splice come insulated?
No. Despite the product type wording, the WS 10 ships with no insulation on the barrel. Any covering, tape, or sleeve over the finished splice has to be supplied separately.
6) How long is the WS 10 splice barrel, and how much straight conductor do I need?
The splice measures 12-3/8 inches long, so plan on clear, straight conductor either side of the break to seat it and to get a compression tool onto the barrel. Tight elbows or a break close to a deadend or insulator will not leave room for a body this length.
7) Is the WS 10 sold individually or in a bag?
Each. One WS 10 is one splice, which covers one conductor break, so count them per conductor, not per pole or per span.
8) Is the Blackburn WS 10 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are buying on a government or utility contract with domestic sourcing language. Order by manufacturer part number WS 10.
