Blackburn CCS44 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn CCS44 compression stirrup take?
The CCS44 is built for a 100 to 636 kcmil stranded main run with a 2/0 solid tap stirrup. If your main conductor falls outside that 100-636 stranded range, or your tap is not 2/0 solid, this is the wrong body and you need a different stirrup in the series.
2) Is the Blackburn CCS44 stirrup a bolted connector or does it need a compression tool?
Compression only. The CCS44 is installed with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the correct die for the conductor; there are no bolts or set screws. It is classed as a wire or cable compression splice, so plan the crimp tooling into the job before you get to the pole or the pull box.
3) Why use a compression stirrup instead of tapping straight onto the main line?
A stirrup gives you a dedicated, sacrificial tap point. Hot-line clamps and tap connections get made and broken repeatedly, and doing that directly on the main conductor damages the strands. The CCS44 crimps onto the main once as a permanent compression splice and presents a 2/0 solid stub for the repeated connection, so wear happens on the stirrup and not on the run.
4) Is the Blackburn CCS44 a one-piece stirrup or an assembly?
One-piece. The CCS44 comes as a single formed body with the stirrup stub already part of the unit, so there is nothing to assemble in the field and no secondary connection between the tap stub and the compression barrel.
5) Is the Blackburn CCS44 sold individually or by the box?
Individually. The CCS44 stirrup is sold each, so order one per tap point rather than assuming a carton quantity when you are building a material list.
6) What is the manufacturer part number and country of origin on the Blackburn compression stirrup CCS44?
Blackburn part number CCS44, made in Mexico. That MPN is what to quote for a 100-636 kcmil stranded main with a 2/0 solid stirrup, and it is the number distributors will cross-reference.
