Blackburn CTL6-14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL6-14 compression lug take?
The CTL6-14 is sized for 6 AWG copper conductor. It's a copper compression lug, so it goes on copper wire only, not aluminum. One 6 AWG conductor per barrel, and the barrel is the short type.
2) Can I use a copper compression lug like the CTL6-14 on aluminum conductor?
No. This is a copper-bodied lug rated for copper conductor at 6 AWG. Aluminum feeder needs an aluminum or dual-rated AL9CU connector with the proper inhibitor compound; putting aluminum into a copper-only barrel is a failure point and an inspection reject.
3) What do the blue color and die code on this Blackburn lug mean when I crimp it?
Blue is the color code on the CTL6-14 barrel and it identifies the 6 AWG copper size at a glance in the panel and at inspection. Match your crimp tool die to the 6 AWG copper setting, not to the color alone, and crimp the number of times your tool's chart calls for on a short barrel.
4) Is the CTL6-14 a crimp lug or a set-screw mechanical lug?
It's a compression (crimp) terminal, the standard barrel type, so it needs a hydraulic or battery crimper with the right die. If you want to terminate without a crimp tool, you're looking for a mechanical set-screw lug instead. Crimp terminations are generally preferred on vibration-prone or high-cycle equipment because there's no screw to retorque.
5) Where is the Blackburn CTL6-14 made? I have a country-of-origin requirement on a public job.
Country of origin on the CTL6-14 is Mexico. That matters on federally funded work with domestic-content clauses, so check it against your contract language before submitting it on a government or institutional project.
