Blackburn 60C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size ground rod does the Blackburn 60C coupling fit?
The Blackburn 60C is a coupling for 5/8 inch ground rods, with 5/8-11UNS threads. It only works with threaded 5/8 inch rods cut to that thread form, so a plain (unthreaded) sectional rod will not take it.
2) What is the Blackburn 60C actually used for on a grounding electrode install?
It joins two threaded 5/8 inch ground rods end to end so you can drive deeper than a single rod section, which is how you get to the depth a grounding electrode needs in shallow or rocky soil. It is a coupling only, not a clamp, so it does not terminate a grounding conductor.
3) Does the Blackburn 60C carry a UL listing for an inspected grounding job?
UL E3060 is the listing carried on the 60C, which is what an inspector or a spec writer on a commercial or institutional job will want to see on a grounding electrode component.
4) Is the Blackburn 60C coupling made of a material that can stay in direct burial contact with a copper-bonded rod?
It is silicon bronze, a copper-based alloy, and the catalog lists copper as the conductor material. Bronze against a copper or copper-bonded steel rod keeps the joint in the same metal family, so you are not creating a dissimilar-metal problem underground.
5) Can I use the 60C coupling to attach a grounding conductor to the rod?
No, that is the wrong part. The 60C is a rod-to-rod coupling with 5/8-11UNS threads on both ends. To land a grounding electrode conductor on a 5/8 inch rod you need a ground rod clamp rated for direct burial, not a coupling.
6) Is the Blackburn 60C insulated?
No. It is a bare silicon bronze coupling with no insulation, which is correct for a grounding electrode joint since the connection is intended to be in conductive contact with earth.
