Blackburn BC2020-BB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn BC2020-BB C-tap accept on the run and the tap?
The BC2020-BB takes 1/0 to 2/0 AWG on both the main run and the tap, so it is a same-size-to-same-size crimp connection. If either side of your splice falls outside 1/0 to 2/0, you need a different C-tap in the range.
2) Is the BC2020-BB copper only, or can I use it on aluminum conductors?
Copper only. The BC2020-BB body is copper and it is a CU compression C-crimp connector, so it is intended for copper-to-copper taps. For aluminum or mixed AL/CU work you need a connector rated for those conductors.
3) Is the BC2020-BB UL listed for inspected work?
Yes, it carries UL file E9809, which is the listing a specifier or inspector will be looking for on a copper compression tap.
4) Does this Blackburn C-tap need a special crimping tool, or can I bolt it on?
It is a compression connector, not a mechanical bolted one. The BC2020-BB is a C-shaped crimp body that gets compressed over the run and tap conductors with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the matching die. There is no bolt or set screw, so plan on the press tool being on site.
5) I have an old order for a Blackburn BC2020-BB. Has the part number changed?
The BC2020-BB has been superseded by replacement product ID 7TAA269830R0001. It is the same 1/0-2/0 to 1/0-2/0 copper C-crimp tap, so an existing spec calling out BC2020-BB is still satisfied.
6) What is a C-tap used for in a service or feeder installation?
A C-tap like the BC2020-BB makes a tap or splice off a through conductor without cutting it, which is how electricians pick up a branch from a feeder or bond conductors in a pull box, transformer vault, or grounding electrode run. The copper C body wraps the run and the tap and is compressed into a single irreversible connection, so once crimped it cannot be reopened for service.
7) Am I ordering a single connector or a box of them?
The BC2020-BB is sold each, so a quantity of one gets you one copper C-tap connector. Count your splices and order accordingly.
8) Is the Blackburn BC2020-BB made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the BC2020-BB copper C-tap is the United States, which is what a government or institutional buyer working to domestic-content language needs on the submittal.
