Blackburn X 1 U 102-8 SOL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this aluminum splice insulated, or do I have to tape or sleeve it after crimping?
It is a bare splice. Insulation material is listed as none and the finish is bare aluminum, so the installer has to insulate the completed joint himself, typically with heat shrink or an insulating tape build-up rated for the circuit. Plan that material into the job.
2) What temperature rating does this Blackburn compression reducer carry for use in a service entrance or meter can?
Rated for conductor operating temperatures up to 90 degrees C, which covers 90 C rated building wire such as XHHW-2 or THHN-2 aluminum. It is also built to ANSI C119.4, the standard for connectors used on insulated conductors.
3) Can I use this aluminum reducer to splice copper to aluminum?
The body is aluminum and the splice is specified for aluminum conductor, 1/0 reducing to No. 2 solid. For a copper to aluminum transition you need a connector specifically listed AL9CU or as a bimetallic transition splice, not this one.
4) What do the yellow and red markings on this Blackburn reducer mean?
The connector is color coded yellow/red, which identifies the die and conductor range for each end of the reducer. Match the crimp die to the color band on the end you are compressing so the 1/0 side and the No. 2 side each get the correct die.
5) Is this splice sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each, so the quantity you order is the number of splices you get. Order one per conductor being reduced, and remember it is a two conductor splice, so a three wire service drop needs three of them.
6) Is the Blackburn X 1 U 102-8 SOL made in the USA for jobs with domestic sourcing requirements?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters on public and institutional work carrying domestic material clauses. The orderable part number is X 1 U 102-8 SOL.
