Blackburn CTP250250 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn CTP250250 C-TAP accept on the main and tap?
The Blackburn CTP250250 C-TAP covers a 3/0 through 250 kcmil range on both the main and the tap conductor. It is a main-and-tap compression connector, so the run conductor lays in the main side and the branch or ground tap lands in the tap side, then the whole body is crimped. If either of your conductors falls outside 3/0 to 250, you need a different C-TAP size.
2) Is the CTP250250 C-TAP a bolted or compression connection?
Compression only. There is no bolt, no set screw, and no way to open it back up once it is crimped. You compress the C-shaped copper body around both conductors with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die for the connector, and the joint is permanent. If you need a connection you can take apart later for testing or maintenance, use a mechanical bolted grounding lug instead of a C-TAP.
3) Can I use a copper C-TAP on aluminum conductors?
No. The CTP250250 is a copper connector and it is rated for copper conductors. Putting bare aluminum against copper in a grounding connection invites galvanic corrosion and a joint that degrades over time. For aluminum or mixed copper-to-aluminum runs, specify a connector listed for those combinations rather than this copper C-TAP.
4) Is the CTP250250 suitable for direct burial or concrete encasement in a ground grid?
Treat it as a compression grounding connector for the applications the manufacturer names: electrical service grounding, commercial building grounding, industrial bonding, utility infrastructure, telecom grounding, lightning protection, and equipment grounding. For a buried ground grid or a connection encased in concrete, the usual specification is an exothermic weld or a connector specifically listed for direct burial, so confirm the burial rating against the job spec before you commit this one below grade.
5) Do I need an insulating cover with the Blackburn C-TAP, and is one included?
The C-TAP ships as the bare copper compression body alone. No insulating cover, no die, and no tool come with it. In a grounding or bonding application the connection is normally left bare, but if your spec calls for the tap to be insulated, order the matching C-TAP cover separately along with the correct crimp die for the connector.
6) How is the C-TAP sold, individually or in a box?
The CTP250250 sells by the each, so you order the exact count you need for the job rather than a fixed carton. Remember a C-TAP is one crimp per tap point, so count your tap locations, not your conductor runs.
7) Is the Blackburn CTP250250 made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters on federally funded and utility work where domestic sourcing is written into the contract, and it is the kind of line a procurement officer needs documented before a submittal gets approved.
