Blackburn WRS232 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn WRS232 compression stirrup connector take?
The WRS232 is sized for 2/0 to 1/0 ACSR and 2/0 to 1/0 stranded AWG conductors. It is a compression fitting, so the conductor range is fixed by the die and barrel, not adjustable like a bolted connector. Running it on anything outside that range gives you an unreliable crimp.
2) Can I use an aluminum compression stirrup on copper conductors?
The WRS232 body is aluminum with tin plated copper bails. The tin plating on the bails is what lets a copper hot line clamp or tap ride on the stirrup without direct aluminum to copper contact, but the compression barrel itself is aluminum and is intended for the aluminum and ACSR conductor sizes it is rated for, 2/0 to 1/0. For a copper run, use a copper compression stirrup instead.
3) Is the Blackburn WRS232 insulated?
No insulation. The WRS232 ships bare, so the crimp and the stirrup bails need to be covered or spaced per your clearance requirements after install if the application calls for it.
4) What is a compression stirrup connector actually used for?
A stirrup gives you a fixed, smooth bail to hook a hot line clamp or a tap onto, so repeated connections and disconnections happen on the stirrup rather than on the main conductor. The WRS232 crimps permanently onto the run, and the tin plated copper bails take the clamp. If you want a connection you can loosen and re-tighten on the conductor itself, a bolted mechanical connector is the other route; compression is not removable once crimped.
5) How many stirrups does the WRS232 have?
Two bails, per the 2SD designation in the Blackburn WRS232 description, so you can land two separate taps or clamps off a single crimp on the run conductor.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for the WRS232?
Yes, it is a compression connector, so it requires a hydraulic or battery compression tool with the correct die for the 2/0 to 1/0 barrel. There is no bolt or set screw to torque, and the tool and die are not included with the connector.
7) How big is the Blackburn WRS232 and does it come as a single piece or a box?
Overall size is listed as 10 x 2-15/16 inches tall, and it sells each, so ordering quantity one gets you one connector rather than a carton. Worth checking that 10 inch length against your available conductor span between other fittings.
8) What is the exact part number and country of origin on the Blackburn stirrup connector?
Manufacturer part number is WRS232, from Blackburn, made in Mexico.
