Blackburn X 1 U 102 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn X 1 U 102 service entrance splice take?
The X 1 U 102 is a two-conductor compression splice sized for 1/0 and 2/0 conductors, which is the red die color range Blackburn marks it with. It joins two runs end to end, one conductor entering each barrel, so it is a straight splice rather than a tap or a multi-port connector.
2) Is the Blackburn X 1 U 102 splice insulated, or do I have to tape or sleeve it?
It is uninsulated. The insulation material is listed as none, so the installer provides the covering, typically heat shrink or an insulating boot over the finished crimp. Plan that material into the job before you get to the splice.
3) Do I need a hydraulic crimper for this Blackburn service entrance splice, or can I bolt it on?
This is a compression connector, not a mechanical set screw type, so it has to be crimped with a compression tool using the die matched to the conductor size. There are no bolts or screws to torque. Red is the color code marked on this one for its 1/0 to 2/0 range.
4) Does the Blackburn X 1 U 102 meet ANSI C119.4 for underground and service entrance connectors?
Yes, it is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use with aluminum and copper conductors. That is the spec most utility and service entrance submittals call out for a compression splice like this one.
5) How long is the X 1 U 102 splice barrel, and will it fit inside a meter socket or pedestal?
The splice measures 4 inches long overall. Check that against the free conductor length and the depth of your enclosure before you cut, since an uninsulated 4 inch barrel plus shrink sleeve needs clear space away from the can walls.
6) Are Blackburn X 1 U 102 splices sold individually or in a bag?
They sell each. If you are splicing a three wire service you will need one per conductor, so order by the count of splices, not by the number of services.
7) Is the Blackburn X 1 U 102 made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on this splice is the United States, which is what most public and institutional procurement packages want documented on electrical connectors.
8) What do the yellow and red markings on this Blackburn splice mean?
The color coding on the connector identifies the crimp die and conductor range rather than being decorative. This one carries yellow and red marking, with red corresponding to the 1/0 and 2/0 range it is rated for. Match your die color to the marking on the barrel and you get the correct compression.
