Blackburn BC24 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn BC24 C-tap take on the run and the tap?
The BC24 is sized for a No. 2 run conductor with a No. 2 tap, and also covers a No. 8 through No. 4 tap range. Both sides are copper only. If your run conductor is larger than No. 2, you need a different C-tap size in the series.
2) Can I use a Blackburn BC24 C-tap on aluminum conductors?
No. The BC24 is a copper compression connector and is intended for copper conductors only. For aluminum or copper-to-aluminum taps you need a connector rated for those combinations, not this one.
3) Is the Blackburn BC24 UL listed for an inspected job?
Yes. The BC24 carries UL file E9809. That is the reference an inspector or spec reviewer will want when the tap is buried in a splice box or under tape and insulating cover.
4) Does the BC24 C-tap need a special crimping tool, or can it be bolted?
It is a compression (C-crimp) connector, so it is installed with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the correct die for the connector, not with bolts or a screwdriver. There is no mechanical set screw on a C-tap; the crimp is what makes the connection.
5) My plans call for Blackburn part 7TAA269830R0004 - is that the same as the BC24?
Yes, that is the current replacement product number for the BC24 C-tap. Same connector, updated catalog identifier, so a drawing or purchase order citing either one is asking for the same copper compression tap.
6) Do I need to insulate a BC24 C-tap after crimping it?
Yes. A C-tap is a bare copper compression connector with no insulation of its own, so the finished crimp has to be covered with tape, a heat shrink sleeve, or a molded insulating cover appropriate for the circuit voltage.
7) Is the BC24 sold individually or in a bag of connectors?
Each. The BC24 is sold as a single connector, so order one per tap you are making.
8) Where is the Blackburn BC24 made? We have domestic sourcing requirements.
The BC24 C-tap is manufactured in the United States, which matters on federally funded and other buy-domestic electrical work where connectors fall under the sourcing requirement.
