Blackburn QCO02 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn QCO02 compression stirrup take?
The QCO02 is built for 2 through 6 ACSR conductor, as the part description states (COMP STIRRUP W/CONTAX 2-6 ASCR). It is a compression connector, so the barrel is crimped onto the run conductor with a die-set press, not bolted.
2) Can an aluminum stirrup connector like the QCO02 be installed on a copper conductor?
The QCO02 body is aluminum, and it is specified for 2 through 6 ACSR, which is an aluminum conductor steel reinforced line wire. For copper runs, use a connector rated for copper rather than this one; mixing bare aluminum hardware onto copper invites galvanic corrosion at the joint.
3) Is the Blackburn QCO02 stirrup insulated?
No insulation. The QCO02 ships bare aluminum with no insulating cover, so on an energized overhead tap you provide your own cover-up or animal guard.
4) What is a stirrup connector used for on an overhead line?
A stirrup gives line crews a fixed bail to clamp hot line taps onto, so repeated connections and disconnections happen on the stirrup instead of on the main conductor. The QCO02 is compressed onto the run once and left there; the tap clamp lands on the loop. Blackburn classes it as a wire or cable compression splice type of connector.
5) How big is the Blackburn QCO02 stirrup, and will it clear my existing hardware?
Overall size is 8-3/4 x 3-1/8 inches, so plan roughly nine inches of run length for the barrel plus loop and about three inches of clearance for the bail where your hot line clamp will sit.
6) Does the QCO02 come in a box or is it sold individually?
It is sold each, so quantity ordered equals stirrups received. Crews stocking a truck for a feeder job order one per tap point.
7) Where is the Blackburn QCO02 made?
Manufactured in Mexico. That matters on public jobs with domestic sourcing language in the spec, so check the contract requirement before submitting it.
