Blackburn CTL8-10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Blackburn CTL8-10 on aluminum wire, or is it copper only?
Copper only. The CTL8-10 barrel is copper and it's a copper terminal, so run it on copper conductor. Aluminum conductor needs a lug rated AL or AL9CU with the right inhibitor compound; putting bare aluminum into a copper-only barrel creates a dissimilar metal connection.
2) What does the red color band on the CTL8-10 mean when I'm crimping?
Red on this lug is the color code that tells you which die and crimp station to use, matching the 8 AWG copper size. On the job it lets an inspector or the next electrician confirm at a glance that the barrel matches the conductor. Match the tool die to the red code, not to what looks close.
3) What is the exact part number and manufacturer for this 8 AWG one hole lug?
Blackburn CTL8-10 is the part number, manufactured in Mexico. Ordering by CTL8-10 gets you the copper short barrel, one hole, 8 AWG, #10 stud configuration. The digits after the dash are the stud size, so CTL8 numbers with a different suffix are the same wire size with a different tongue hole.
4) Should I use a short barrel compression lug like this or a mechanical set screw lug?
A short barrel compression lug such as the CTL8-10 is crimped on permanently with a die tool, which gives a connection that can't back off and takes up less room than a set screw body, useful in a crowded panel or enclosure. A mechanical lug is the choice when you have no crimper on site or expect to re-terminate the conductor later. For fixed 8 AWG copper terminations to a #10 stud, the compression lug is the tidier permanent answer.
5) Is the CTL8-10 sold individually or in a bag of lugs?
It's sold each, so order the exact count your terminations need rather than buying a bag quantity. Handy when you're terminating a handful of 8 AWG grounds or feeders and don't want leftover stock on the truck.
