Blackburn CTL10-38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL10-38 lug take?
The CTL10-38 is sized for 1/0 AWG conductor. It is a single-hole, single-conductor compression lug, so one 1/0 cable per barrel. Run a larger or smaller conductor and you need a different die-coded lug, not this one.
2) Is the Blackburn CTL10-38 copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductor?
The barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductor. Copper-only compression lugs are not rated for aluminum cable; for aluminum you want a dual-rated AL9CU barrel instead.
3) What does the pink color on this Blackburn lug mean?
Pink is the color code that identifies the 1/0 AWG compression die and barrel on this lug. On a crowded panel it lets an inspector or the next electrician confirm the right lug and die combination was used without reading the stamp.
4) What is the difference between a short barrel and a long barrel lug, and which is this?
The CTL10-38 is a short barrel, one crimp on the conductor. Short barrels take up less room behind the pad, which matters in tight gutters and shallow enclosures. Long barrel versions take two crimps and are specified where more pull-out resistance or vibration tolerance is wanted. For standard 1/0 copper feeder terminations in a panel, the short barrel is the usual choice.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for this Blackburn 1/0 lug?
Yes, it is a compression lug, not a mechanical set-screw type, so it has to be crimped with a hydraulic or battery compression tool using the die that matches the 1/0 copper barrel. There is no bolt to torque on the conductor end. If you want a terminal you can install with a hex key only, specify a mechanical lug instead.
6) Is the CTL10-38 sold individually or in a bag of lugs?
It sells each, one lug per unit, so you order the exact count the job needs rather than a fixed bag quantity. Useful when you are terminating an odd number of conductors.
7) Where is the Blackburn CTL10-38 made?
Manufactured in Mexico. Worth knowing on federal or Buy American specified projects, where country of origin gets checked on submittals.
