Blackburn WRQ152 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn WRQ152 compression stirrup connector take?
The WRQ152 is rated for #2 through #6 conductor on the run side and #1 stranded AWG, per its published wire size range of "#2 to #6CSR A#1 STR AWG". If your run conductor falls outside that band, this is not the right connector body, since a compression connector has no adjustment once crimped.
2) Is the WRQ152 stirrup connector aluminum or copper, and can I use it on aluminum service conductors?
The body is aluminum with tin plated copper bails, so it handles aluminum conductors as well as copper. The tin plating on the bails is what keeps the copper-to-aluminum interface from galvanic trouble at the tap point.
3) Can I install the WRQ152 with a mechanical wrench, or does it need a crimp tool?
It is a compression connector, so it needs a die-type compression tool on the run conductor. There are no set screws to torque. If you want a bolted connection you can install with hand tools, you need a mechanical connector instead, not this one.
4) Does the Blackburn WRQ152 come insulated or do I need to cover it after crimping?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the connector. Any covering on the finished splice, tape, sleeve, or a boot, has to be supplied separately, which is normal for a stirrup connector that a hotline clamp will land on.
5) How much room do I need in the enclosure or on the pole for a WRQ152?
Plan for a footprint of 4-1/2 by 3-3/4 inches tall. The bails stand off the body, so allow working clearance around it for the crimp tool and for whatever clamp lands on the stirrup.
6) What is a stirrup connector used for instead of a straight compression tap?
A stirrup gives you a fixed bail to hang a hotline clamp or temporary jumper on, so you can connect and disconnect a tap repeatedly without disturbing the main conductor. A plain compression tap is a one-time permanent connection. Use the WRQ152 where the tap point has to be workable again later.
7) Is the Blackburn WRQ152 sold individually or in a bag?
Each. One WRQ152 per selling unit, ordered by the piece rather than by carton.
8) What is the exact part number and country of origin for the Blackburn compression stirrup?
Order it as Blackburn WRQ152. It is manufactured in Mexico, which matters if you are filling a spec with country-of-origin reporting requirements.
