Blackburn WRQ352 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn WRQ352 compression stirrup connector take?
The WRQ352 is rated for 4/0 to 3/0 CSR and A4/0 to 3/0 STR AWG conductor. It is a compression fitting, so the main conductor is crimped in the barrel with a die-driven tool rather than bolted, and you need to confirm your cable falls in that range before crimping since a compression connection cannot be backed off and reused.
2) Can I use this stirrup connector on aluminum conductor, or is it copper only?
The body is aluminum with tin plated copper bails, so it is a dual-rated style fitting: the aluminum barrel takes the aluminum or ACSR run conductor, and the tin plated copper bails give you a copper surface for the tap or hot line clamp. That plating is what keeps a copper tap connection from sitting directly against bare aluminum.
3) What is a stirrup connector actually used for on a service drop?
A stirrup gives a lineman a dedicated loop to clamp onto instead of working directly on the main conductor. The WRQ352 crimps permanently onto the run, and its tin plated copper bails become the point where a hot line clamp or tap is attached and removed, so the main cable is never repeatedly clamped and scarred. It is a wire connector for overhead and service work, not an enclosure or terminal lug.
4) Is the Blackburn WRQ352 insulated, or do I need to cover it after installing?
No insulation is supplied on the WRQ352, it ships as a bare metallic fitting. If the installation calls for the connection to be covered, you provide the cover, tape, or animal guard separately.
5) How much room does the WRQ352 stirrup need on the conductor?
Overall size is 4-1/2 x 3-3/4 inches tall, so plan on roughly that much clear space around the crimp location. It matters where the stirrup lands near a dead end, an insulator, or another tap, since the bails have to stay clear enough for a hot line clamp to be swung on and off.
6) Does the WRQ352 come as a single piece or in a bag of multiples?
It is sold each, one WRQ352 per unit, under Blackburn part number WRQ352. Country of origin is Mexico. Order one per stirrup point you are installing.
