Blackburn KL365-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn KL365-1 compression sleeve take?
The KL365-1 CONTAX service sleeve is a 1/0 splice, so it is sized for 1/0 conductor on both ends. It is a two-conductor splice, meaning one cable in each end, butted inside the barrel and crimped. If your run is 2/0 or 1 AWG, this is the wrong sleeve, size the barrel to the actual conductor.
2) Is the Blackburn KL365-1 a crimp splice or a set-screw connector?
It is a compression splice. You install it with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die for the barrel, not with an Allen wrench. If you want a mechanical connector you can install with hand tools for a service re-tap, a set-screw or bolted service sleeve is the alternative, not this one.
3) Does the Blackburn KL365-1 service sleeve meet any recognized connector standard?
It passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the standard covering electrical connectors for underground and general use conductors. That is the citation an inspector or a spec-driven institutional buyer usually wants on a service splice.
4) Is the KL365-1 splice insulated, or do I have to tape or shrink over it?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the barrel. After crimping you insulate it yourself, typically with heat shrink or an insulating tape build-up appropriate to the voltage and the wet or dry location. Order the shrink tubing or tape separately, it is not included.
5) How long is the KL365-1 sleeve barrel?
3-1/2 inches overall. That matters for two things: the length of cable you need to strip on each side (roughly half the barrel per conductor plus the stop), and whether it will fit inside the enclosure, gutter or meter socket you are splicing in. Tight service pedestals are where a 3-1/2 inch barrel plus bend radius becomes a problem.
6) Can I use one KL365-1 to splice three conductors together?
No. It is built for two conductors, one entering each end of the barrel. For a three-way or tap connection you need a compression tap connector or an H-tap, not a straight service sleeve.
7) Are Blackburn KL365-1 sleeves sold individually or in a bag?
Each. The selling unit is one sleeve, so a two-conductor service splice takes two pieces and a full three-phase plus neutral run takes four. Count the conductors, not the splices.
8) Where is the Blackburn KL365-1 made, and what part number do I order it by?
Order it as Blackburn KL365-1, the CONTAX 1/0 compression service sleeve. Country of origin is Mexico. Distributors cross-referencing it should use KL365-1 as the manufacturer part number.
