Blackburn SCN50 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the SCN50 stirrup be installed with a bolt-on clamp instead of crimping?
No. It is a compression-only body, so it goes on with a hydraulic crimper and the correct die for the conductor. If you need a bolted tap that can be removed later, look at a bolted stirrup or hot line clamp instead of the SCN50.
2) How big is the Blackburn SCN50 stirrup connector?
It measures 11 x 3-11/16 inches overall, which matters when you are checking phase-to-phase clearance on a crossarm or working space around the tap before you crimp it on.
3) Is the Blackburn SCN50 stirrup connector aluminum or copper?
Aluminum body. That makes it a match for aluminum conductors such as the 477 ASCR it is sized for, and it means you need the right compression die and an oxide inhibitor practice for aluminum terminations.
4) Does the Blackburn SCN50 come insulated or does it need covering?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the connector itself. On an energized distribution tap you cover it in the field with an appropriate cover or insulating boot per your utility standard.
5) Why use a stirrup connector instead of tapping the hot line directly?
A stirrup gives you a dedicated, sacrificial point to land a hot line clamp so repeated tap connections never touch the main conductor. The SCN50 puts two stirrups on one 477 ASCR compression body, so a crew can make and break taps without disturbing the run.
6) Is the Blackburn SCN50 sold individually or in a box?
Sold each. Order one per tap location rather than by the carton.
7) Where is the Blackburn SCN50 manufactured?
Made in Mexico. Useful if your utility or agency spec requires country of origin documentation on line hardware.
