Blackburn WRQ154 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn WRQ154 stirrup connector take?
The WRQ154 is rated for #2 through #6 copper-clad steel run conductors and #1 stranded AWG, per its wire size marking (#2 to #6CSR A#1 STR AWG). Match the actual run conductor in your span to that range before you crimp, because a compression connector sized outside its range will not hold the conductor or make a reliable contact.
2) What is the stirrup on the WRQ154 for?
The stirrup gives a hot-line clamp somewhere safe to land. You crimp the connector onto the run conductor once, then the tap conductor connects and disconnects at the stirrup bail instead of at the primary conductor, so the run never gets worked on again. The bails on this one are tin plated copper on an aluminum body.
3) Can I use the Blackburn WRQ154 on an aluminum conductor and a copper tap?
The body is aluminum and the bails are tin plated copper, so the crimped end is intended for the aluminum or copper-clad steel run conductor and the tin plating on the bails is what lets a copper hot-line clamp land without a bare aluminum-to-copper contact. That plated barrier is the reason this style is used in mixed-metal service work.
4) Is the Blackburn WRQ154 a bolted or a compression connector?
It's a compression fitting, so it gets installed with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die, not a wrench. There is no bolt to re-torque later, which is why utilities use this style on service drops and messenger runs where the connection has to stay put with no maintenance.
5) Does the WRQ154 come insulated, or do I have to cover it?
No insulation on it, the connector ships bare. If the application needs the tap point covered, you add a separate insulating cover or wildlife guard sized for the fitting. The body measures 4-1/2 x 3-3/4 inches, so size any cover to that.
6) Is the Blackburn WRQ154 sold individually or in a box?
Sold each, one connector per unit, so order the quantity of tap points you have rather than assuming a carton count. Part number is WRQ154, made in Mexico.
