Blackburn CTP2020 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn CTP2020 C-tap accept on the main and the tap?
The CTP2020 C-tap takes No. 1 through 2/0 conductor on both the main run and the tap. Same range either side, so you don't have to match a smaller tap barrel to a larger main. If your main is larger than 2/0 or your tap is smaller than No. 1, this is the wrong body size and you need a different C-tap in the series.
2) Is the Blackburn CTP2020 a compression fitting or a mechanical bolted tap?
It is a compression C-tap, part of Blackburn's E-Z-Ground compression grounding line. You crimp it with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the correct die; there are no set screws or bolts to torque. That makes it a permanent, irreversible connection, which is what most grounding and bonding inspections want for buried or inaccessible taps. If you need a connection you can take apart later, use a bolted mechanical tap instead.
3) Can I use the CTP2020 C-tap on copper grounding electrode conductors?
Yes. The body is copper, so it is the right metal for copper conductor in a grounding or bonding tap, with no dissimilar-metal concern at the joint. It is not intended for aluminum conductor.
4) Is the Blackburn CTP2020 UL listed for grounding and bonding?
It carries UL file E3060. For a facilities or institutional buyer standardizing on listed grounding components, that is the reference to cite on the submittal.
5) What is a C-tap used for on a grounding system?
A C-tap is a C-shaped compression sleeve that wraps a tap conductor onto a continuous main run without cutting the main. Typical use is tapping a bonding jumper off a grounding electrode conductor, or picking up equipment bonds off a ground ring or a structural bond run. Because the main passes through uncut, you keep the run electrically continuous, which is exactly what grounding electrode conductors are required to be.
6) Is the Blackburn CTP2020 made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin is the United States, which is the answer government, education, and healthcare procurement usually needs before a grounding connector clears a domestic-content spec.
7) How do I identify the right Blackburn C-tap to order?
Order by the Blackburn part number, which for the No. 1 to 2/0 main and tap version is CTP2020. The number encodes the conductor range the body is sized for, so confirm both your main and tap fall inside No. 1 to 2/0 before you order rather than relying on the look of the fitting.
8) Is the Blackburn CTP2020 sold individually or only in bulk boxes?
It is sold each, so you can buy the exact count a job needs rather than a full carton. Useful on service work where you only need a handful of taps.
