Blackburn PKL36-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn PKL36-1 pigtail compression sleeve used for?
It is a wire or cable compression reducer: an aluminum sleeve with a pre-attached tinplated copper pigtail, crimped onto a conductor to step it down to a smaller flexible copper tail for termination. The sleeve is compression only, so it is installed with a die crimp tool rather than a set screw.
2) What size conductor does the PKL36-1 pin terminal take, and how long is the pigtail?
The PKL36-1 is built for 1/0 cable, with a 1/4 inch by 6 inch pigtail and a sleeve length of 3-1/2 inches. If your run is a different conductor size, you need a different part in the PKL series, since the barrel is sized to the cable.
3) Can this Blackburn pigtail sleeve be used on medium voltage cable?
Yes, it carries a 35 kV rating, so it is suitable for medium voltage work up to that level as well as anything lower.
4) Will an aluminum sleeve with a copper pigtail work on aluminum cable?
That is what the design is for. The crimp barrel is aluminum, so it takes aluminum conductor, and the pre-attached copper pigtail is tinplated so the copper-to-aluminum junction is factory made rather than something you assemble in the field. The tail lands on copper-rated terminals.
5) Does the PKL36-1 come insulated, or do I have to tape and insulate it myself?
Bare, with no insulation on the sleeve. Any insulating, taping, or heat shrink over the crimped connection is on you and is not supplied with the part.
6) Is the Blackburn PKL36-1 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each, so the quantity you order is the number of sleeves you get. Count one per conductor being reduced on the job.
7) Where is the Blackburn PKL36-1 made, and what is the exact part number to order?
Order it as Blackburn PKL36-1. It is manufactured in Mexico.
