Blackburn CTL6-516 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL6-516 compression lug take?
The CTL6-516 is sized for 6 AWG copper conductor. It's a one-hole, short barrel compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the conductor rather than screwed down. Run it on 6 AWG only, a lug barrel that doesn't match the conductor won't give you a proper crimp.
2) Can I use the Blackburn CTL6-516 on aluminum wire?
No. The CTL6-516 is a copper compression lug intended for copper conductor. Aluminum conductor needs a lug rated for aluminum (typically an AL9CU dual-rated or aluminum-bodied connector) with the correct inhibitor compound.
3) Is the CTL6-516 a one-hole or two-hole lug?
One hole. It lands on a single 5/16 inch stud, which suits breaker pads, ground bars, and equipment terminals. If your drawing calls for a two-hole NEMA pad with fixed hole spacing, typically for busbar or generator connections, this won't bolt up and you need a two-hole tongue instead.
4) What does the blue color on this Blackburn lug mean?
Blue is the color code on the CTL6-516 barrel, and on compression lugs that color identifies the die and conductor size so an inspector or the next electrician can confirm the right tool was used. Match your crimp die to the blue code for 6 AWG.
5) Short barrel or long barrel lug for a 6 AWG termination?
The CTL6-516 is the short barrel version, one crimp, which is what you want in tight gear where there isn't room behind the landing for a longer body. Long barrel lugs take two crimps and are specified where higher pull-out strength or extra vibration resistance is called for. For a standard panel or ground bar landing on 6 AWG copper, the short barrel is the usual choice.
6) Is this lug sold individually or in a bag of ten?
The CTL6-516 sells each, one lug per unit. Count your terminations, phases plus neutral plus ground, and order accordingly rather than assuming a multi-pack.
