Blackburn KL22-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Blackburn KL22-1 compression sleeve need a crimp tool, or can it be tightened with a wrench?
It's a compression connector, so it has to be crimped with a die-type compression tool. There are no set screws or bolts to tighten. Plan on having the right tool and die on the truck before the splice goes in.
2) How many conductors does the Blackburn KL22-1 splice sleeve join?
Two. It's a butt-style splice sleeve for joining two conductors end to end, not a multi-tap or three-way connector. If you need to bring three or more conductors together, use a multi-port compression connector instead.
3) Is the Blackburn KL22-1 insulated, or do I have to tape or heat-shrink over it?
Bare metal, no insulation on the sleeve. You supply the covering, so figure on tape, heat-shrink, or a cold-shrink kit rated for the circuit voltage over the finished crimp.
4) Does the Blackburn KL22-1 splice meet ANSI C119.4 for underground and service entrance connectors?
Yes. The KL22-1 passes the requirements of ANSI C119.4, which is the standard for connectors used on insulated conductors in electric supply applications. That's the line most utility and institutional specs call out for a service entrance splice.
5) How long is the KL22-1 compression sleeve, and will it fit inside my enclosure or service entrance box?
The sleeve measures 3-1/2 inches. That's the length you need to clear inside a meter socket, service entrance head, or pull box, plus room for the crimp tool head to close around it, so measure the working space before you commit to a splice location.
6) Is the KL22-1 a service entrance splice or a general purpose butt connector?
Blackburn lists it as a compression splice for service entrance work, which is why it carries ANSI C119.4. It's for splicing service conductors and feeders, not a low-voltage or control-wire butt connector.
7) Am I buying one sleeve or a bag of them?
Sold each. One order quantity is one KL22-1 sleeve, so count your splices (both conductors of a two-wire run means two sleeves) and order accordingly.
8) What part number and country of origin should I put on my submittal for the Blackburn compression sleeve?
Manufacturer part number KL22-1, Blackburn brand, country of origin Mexico. That's what goes on a submittal or a government procurement form needing origin disclosure.
