Blackburn CTL2-2516 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL2-2516 lug take?
The CTL2-2516 is built for 2 AWG conductor. It's a copper compression lug, so the barrel is sized for that one conductor size only. If your feeder is 1/0, 4/0 or 4 AWG, you need the matching size in the series rather than forcing this barrel.
2) Will the Blackburn CTL2-2516 bolt to a 5/16 inch stud on my panel bus?
Yes. The tongue is punched for 5/16 inch stud or bolt, two holes. Two-hole tongues resist rotation on the pad, which is why they get specified on switchgear and transformer landings where a single bolt could let the lug spin under fault torque.
3) Is the Blackburn CTL2-2516 UL listed for copper conductor?
It carries UL file E9809 and the barrel is copper for copper conductor. Do not use it on aluminum conductor; that requires a dual-rated AL9CU connector instead.
4) Is this a two-hole or one-hole lug, and does that matter for my termination?
Two-hole. The CTL2-2516 has a two-hole tongue on 5/16 inch bolt holes. Use a two-hole lug where the spec or the equipment pad calls for it, typically larger feeders and ground bars; a one-hole lug will not satisfy a drawing that specifies two-hole, and it cannot land on a two-bolt pad.
5) What does the brown color band on this Blackburn lug mean?
Brown is the die color code on the CTL2-2516, and it tells the installer which compression die and index to use in the crimp tool. Match the tool die to the brown code stamped on the barrel; crimping with the wrong die is the most common cause of a failed pull test on a copper lug.
6) Is the CTL2-2516 a short barrel or long barrel lug, and when does that matter?
Short barrel, standard barrel style. A short barrel takes a single crimp and fits tighter gutter and enclosure spaces where a long barrel would not clear the wire bending radius. Where the spec calls for two crimps on the barrel for extra pullout resistance, a long barrel version is the one to order.
7) Are Blackburn CTL lugs sold individually or in bags?
The CTL2-2516 sells each, so you can buy the exact count for the terminations on the job rather than a multi-pack.
8) What is the exact part number and country of origin on this 2 AWG two-hole lug?
Manufacturer part number CTL2-2516, Blackburn brand, made in Mexico. Distributors ordering to a submittal should quote CTL2-2516 exactly, since the numeric suffix carries both the 2 AWG conductor size and the 5/16 inch bolt hole.
