Blackburn CTL8-14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL8-14 compression lug take?
The CTL8-14 is sized for 8 AWG copper conductor. It is a one hole, short barrel compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the conductor rather than set screwed. Run 8 AWG only, and use copper wire, not aluminum.
2) Can I use a copper compression lug like the CTL8-14 on aluminum conductor?
No. The CTL8-14 barrel is copper and is made for copper conductor only. Terminating aluminum in a copper-only lug risks a dissimilar metal connection. For aluminum or combination runs you want a lug marked AL9CU or dual rated.
3) What does the red color band on the CTL8-14 lug mean?
Red is the color code identifying the crimp die and die index for this lug. Match the red marking on the barrel to the corresponding die in your compression tool so the crimp is made to the listed configuration. It is a die identifier, not a decorative finish.
4) Do I need a crimp tool for the Blackburn CTL8-14, or can it be tightened with a wrench?
It is a standard barrel compression lug, so it has to be crimped with a compression tool and the matching die. There is no set screw. If you want a mechanical connection you can make up with a hex key, you need a set screw or mechanical lug instead of this one.
5) Is the Blackburn CTL8-14 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
It is sold each, one lug per unit, so order the exact count you need for your terminations rather than a fixed pack quantity. The manufacturer part number is CTL8-14.
6) What is a short barrel lug good for compared to a long barrel?
A short barrel takes a single crimp and keeps the overall length down, which helps when you are landing conductors in a tight enclosure or a crowded gutter where a long barrel two-crimp lug would not bend into place. The CTL8-14 is the short barrel, 8 AWG, 1/4 inch stud version.
