Blackburn SCO21 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn SCO21 compression stirrup take?
The SCO21 is built for 2/0 through 2 ACSR run conductor, with two stirrup taps (the X2 in the part description). It is a compression connector, so each barrel is crimped with the matching die rather than bolted.
2) Is the SCO21 stirrup aluminum or copper, and can I use it on aluminum conductor?
Aluminum body. That suits it to the aluminum-conductor ACSR runs it is rated for, 2/0 through 2. For a copper run you want a copper or dual-rated compression connector instead.
3) Does the Blackburn SCO21 come insulated or do I need to cover it after crimping?
No insulation is supplied on the SCO21, it is a bare aluminum compression stirrup. Any covering, taping, or animal guard on the finished connection is a separate item you add in the field.
4) How much room does the SCO21 stirrup need on the conductor?
Overall size is 8-3/4 x 3-1/8 inches, so plan that much clear span on the run for the body plus the two stirrup legs before you set the crimp location. Tight spacing next to a deadend or insulator is the usual problem.
5) Why use a compression stirrup instead of tapping the main line directly?
A stirrup gives you a dedicated hot-line clamp point so crews connect and disconnect the tap on the stirrup bail rather than on the main conductor, which keeps repeated clamping off the run. The SCO21 is the compression style, crimped permanently onto the line; bolted stirrups are the alternative when you have no press or need to remove the stirrup later.
6) Is the SCO21 sold as a pair or individually?
Sold each. One SCO21 gives you a single compression splice body carrying two stirrups, so order one per tap location on the line.
7) Where is the Blackburn SCO21 manufactured?
Made in Mexico. Useful if you are documenting country of origin on a utility or public-works submittal.
