Blackburn KL476-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn KL476-1 CONTAX service sleeve take?
The KL476-1 is sized for 3/0 conductors, one cable entering each end. It's a two-conductor splice, so it joins one run to another rather than tapping multiple cables into a single barrel.
2) Is the KL476-1 a compression splice or a mechanical set-screw connector?
Compression. The sleeve is crimped onto the conductors with a die-type compression tool, so there are no set screws to torque or re-tighten later. If you want a connector you can install with a hex key and re-enter, a mechanical set-screw splice is the other route.
3) Does the Blackburn KL476-1 sleeve come insulated, or do I need to tape or shrink over it?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the barrel. Whatever insulating you need for the application, tape, heat shrink, or a cold-shrink sleeve, is a separate item. Allow for the 3-1/2 inch barrel length when you size the covering.
4) Does this Blackburn service sleeve meet ANSI C119.4 for underground and wet-location splices?
Yes. The KL476-1 passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, the standard covering electric connectors for use between aluminum or copper conductors. That's the test reference inspectors on service and secondary work usually ask for.
5) How long is the KL476-1 barrel, and how much room do I need in the enclosure?
The sleeve measures 3-1/2 inches, so plan on that plus bending room for the 3/0 conductors on each side. In a tight meter socket or service pull box, check the gutter space before you commit to a compression splice of this length.
6) Can I splice three cables together with one KL476-1?
No. It's built for two conductors, one in each end of the barrel. For a three-way or multi-tap arrangement you need a different connector body, not two of these back to back.
7) Is the Blackburn KL476-1 sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each. One sleeve per unit, so order one per splice point and count both ends of every conductor run in the job.
8) What part number and manufacturer should I put on a purchase order for this CONTAX service sleeve?
Blackburn KL476-1, from the CONTAX line, a compression service entrance splice for 3/0. Country of origin is Mexico.
