Blackburn CTP50020 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn CTP50020 C-tap accept on the main and the tap?
The CTP50020 takes a 300 to 500 kcmil main run conductor and a #6 through 2/0 AWG tap. If your tap wire is larger than 2/0 or your main is under 300 kcmil, this is the wrong C-tap in the range and you need a different size code.
2) Can I use a C-tap like this to run a ground tap off a large feeder without cutting the main?
That's exactly what a C-tap does. The C-shaped body wraps over the through run and the tap conductor sits alongside, then the whole thing is compressed, so the 300 to 500 kcmil main stays continuous and unspliced. Common for grounding electrode conductor taps, bonding jumpers off a service feeder, and tapping equipment grounds in a pull box.
3) Is the Blackburn CTP50020 copper or aluminum, and can it be used on aluminum conductors?
The connector body is copper, so treat it as a copper-to-copper connector. Aluminum or copper-clad runs call for a connector rated for those conductors instead; do not substitute a copper-only tap onto aluminum.
4) Is the CTP50020 C-tap UL listed for grounding work?
Yes. It carries UL file E3060, which is the listing inspectors look for on grounding and bonding connectors. Blackburn's E-Z-Ground compression line is where it sits.
5) Is the Blackburn CTP50020 made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the CTP50020 is the United States, which is what federal, state, and institutional specs with domestic sourcing language usually require documentation on.
6) What part number do I quote for a 300-500 kcmil main with a 2/0 ground tap?
Blackburn CTP50020. That's the manufacturer part number and the model designation, covering 300 to 500 kcmil main and #6 to 2/0 AWG tap.
7) Do I order the CTP50020 individually or by the box?
It's sold each, so you buy the exact count you need for the job rather than a bag quantity.
