Blackburn CTL2-516 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL2-516 lug take?
The CTL2-516 is sized for 2 AWG conductor. It is a one-hole, short barrel compression-style copper lug, so the barrel accepts a single 2 AWG cable end. If your conductor is a different gauge, you need a different catalog number in the CTL family, not this one, since the barrel is not adjustable.
2) Can I use the Blackburn CTL2-516 on aluminum conductor?
No. It is a copper-bodied lug specified for copper cable. Aluminum conductor needs a dual-rated AL9CU connector with the correct inhibitor compound, not a copper-only barrel like this one.
3) What does the brown color band on the CTL2-516 mean?
Brown is the die color code on this lug. Compression lugs are color coded to the crimp die and die index so the installer can match tool to connector on the job; brown corresponds to the 2 AWG copper barrel here. Match the brown die in your hydraulic or battery crimper.
4) Why choose a short barrel lug instead of a long barrel one?
Short barrel means a single crimp and a shorter overall body, which is what you want in tight gear, panel gutters, and shallow enclosures where cable bending space is limited. Long barrel lugs take two crimps and give more pull-out strength, so they are the better pick on vibration-prone or heavily loaded feeders where you have the room.
5) Is the CTL2-516 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
It is sold each, so quantity ordered equals lugs received. Order per termination and remember a feeder or ground run typically needs one at both ends.
6) What is the exact part number and origin for submittal paperwork on this Blackburn lug?
Catalog number CTL2-516, Blackburn brand, made in Mexico, listed under UL E9809. That is what goes on a submittal or a standardization sheet for a 2 AWG copper termination with a 5/16 inch stud hole.
