Blackburn PGH39 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn PGH39 hot tap clamp accept?
The PGH39 parallel groove clamp is rated for a run/tap range of 2/0 stranded down to #8 solid AWG. If either your run or your tap conductor falls outside that window, you need a different clamp in the parallel groove family, not this one.
2) Can the PGH39 clamp be used on a 15 kV or 25 kV distribution circuit?
Yes. The PGH39 carries a 35 kV voltage rating, so it covers common 15 kV and 25 kV class distribution work as well. Above 35 kV it is out of its rating.
3) Is the PGH39 tap clamp copper, and can I use it on aluminum conductor?
The body is copper, which makes it a copper-to-copper connector. Putting bare aluminum conductor against a copper clamp sets up a dissimilar metal joint, so for aluminum runs or taps use a bimetallic or aluminum-bodied parallel groove clamp instead.
4) How much room do I need around the conductor to fit a PGH39 clamp?
Plan for a clamp envelope of 2-3/8 x 5-1/4 x 1-1/4 inches. In a tight pull box or a congested riser, measure clearance to the nearest grounded surface and to adjacent phases before you commit, because the center bolt has to be reachable with a wrench once the clamp is on the conductor.
5) What is a center-bolt parallel-groove hot tap clamp used for?
It is a mechanical tap connector: two grooved copper jaws pulled together by a single center bolt to make a branch or tap connection onto a live run conductor without cutting it. Unlike a compression tap, it needs only a wrench rather than a crimp tool and die set, and it can be removed and reused if the tap gets relocated.
6) What part number do I order for the Blackburn 2/0 to #8 copper hot tap clamp?
Order Blackburn PGH39. That is the manufacturer part number for the copper parallel groove hot tap clamp covering 2/0 stranded through #8 solid, rated 35 kV. Country of origin is India.
7) Does the PGH39 come in a pack or as a single clamp?
It sells as each, one clamp per unit, so order one per tap point. Count your phases: a three phase tap needs three.
