Blackburn CTL2-14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL2-14 lug take?
The CTL2-14 compression lug is sized for 2 AWG conductor. It's a one-hole, short-barrel copper lug, so the barrel is crimped onto a single 2 AWG cable end. If your conductor is a different gauge, you need a different catalog number in the series; a lug crimped onto an undersized or oversized conductor won't hold a listed connection.
2) Can I use a copper compression lug like the Blackburn CTL2-14 on aluminum conductor?
No. The CTL2-14 is a copper-bodied lug intended for copper conductor. For aluminum or dual-rated runs you need an AL9CU-rated connector; putting aluminum cable in a copper-only barrel is not a listed combination and invites galvanic corrosion at the crimp.
3) What does the brown color band on the Blackburn CTL2-14 mean for crimping?
Brown is the die color code for this lug. Compression connectors are color coded so the installer can match the barrel to the correct die in the crimp tool head, and the CTL2-14 is coded brown. Crimping with the wrong die is the most common cause of a failed pull test on this type of connection.
4) What is the difference between a short barrel lug and a long barrel lug?
A short-barrel lug like the CTL2-14 takes a single crimp and needs less room behind the terminal, which matters in tight gutters and shallow enclosures. A long barrel gives you two or more crimps for more pull-out resistance and is usually specified where vibration or heavy mechanical load on the cable is a concern. Both land the same on the stud; the barrel length is about crimp count and available space.
5) What is the exact part number and origin for the Blackburn 2 AWG one-hole lug I need to spec?
Catalog number CTL2-14 from Blackburn, a copper one-hole short-barrel compression lug for 2 AWG with a 1/4 inch stud hole, country of origin Mexico. That's the number to put on a submittal or a will-call order.
6) Is the Blackburn CTL2-14 sold individually or in a bag of ten?
Each. The CTL2-14 lug is sold as a single piece, so order the quantity you need terminal by terminal rather than by carton. Ordering per piece is common on panel work where you only need a few ends of one gauge.
