Blackburn X 1 U 102-10 SOL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn X 1 U 102-10 SOL splice a compression connector or a mechanical set-screw type?
It's a compression splice, so it's installed with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die, not a set screw or wrench. Once crimped it's a permanent joint, which is why it's used on service entrance conductor splices rather than anywhere you'd expect to take the connection apart later.
2) Does this Blackburn 10 inch splice come pre-insulated or do I have to insulate it myself?
It ships bare. The insulation material is listed as none and the surface finishing as bare, so the installer is responsible for the cover, whether that's heat shrink, a mold shell and resin, or tape build-up per your spec. Budget for that material on the job.
3) Can I use this Blackburn compression splice on copper conductors?
No. The body is aluminum, which makes it a splice for aluminum conductor work. Putting bare aluminum directly on copper creates a dissimilar metal joint, so if you're splicing copper to copper or copper to aluminum you need a copper or a bimetallic (AL/CU rated) connector instead.
4) Will a 10 inch long splice fit inside my meter socket or pull box?
Plan the space carefully. The body is 10 inches long, and once you add the bend radius on both cables and whatever insulating cover you build over the joint, a 10 inch barrel needs a fair amount of straight run. In a shallow meter can or a tight pull box it often won't lay in, so measure the available straight length before you crimp.
5) How many conductors does the X 1 U 102-10 SOL splice take?
Two. It's a straight two-conductor splice, one cable in each end, for joining a run rather than tapping or paralleling multiple conductors off one body. For a multi-tap arrangement you'd want a multi-port connector or a bar.
6) What is the exact part number and is it made in the USA?
The Blackburn part number is X 1 U 102-10 SOL, and the country of origin is the United States. If you're matching a submittal or a buy-American requirement on a government or institutional job, that's the number and origin to cite.
7) Is this Blackburn splice sold individually or in a box?
It's sold each, one connector per unit, so a two-conductor splice job needs one per conductor pair you're joining. On a three-phase plus neutral service that's four units for a single set of splices.
8) What do the yellow and red markings on this Blackburn splice mean?
The connector carries yellow/red color coding, which on compression connectors identifies the conductor range and die to use for the crimp. Match the color and die index called out on the connector body with your tool's die set, don't guess the die from the barrel size.
