Blackburn XT12P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn XT12P tee-tap clamp take on the run and the tap?
The XT12P handles 4/0 stranded copper on the main run and 2 solid on the tap. It is a two-conductor connector with one secondary (tap) port, so one run conductor and one tap conductor per clamp.
2) Can I use the Blackburn XT12P tee tap on aluminum conductor?
No. The XT12P is a copper-only connector, cast from copper alloy with silicon bronze bolts. For aluminum or copper-to-aluminum runs you need a connector rated AL9CU or equivalent dual-rated hardware, not this one.
3) What voltage can a Blackburn XT12P tee-tap clamp be used at?
Rated to 35 kV, so it covers 600 V branch and feeder work as well as medium voltage taps up to 35 kV, provided the connection is insulated to the system class after assembly.
4) Is the Blackburn XT12P insulated, or do I have to tape or boot it after install?
It ships bare, with no enclosure and no insulation on the body. Once the tap is torqued down you cover it yourself, with tape, a rubber cover, or a molded boot sized to the clamp. Plan on that material being part of the job.
5) Do I need a crimp tool or hydraulic press for the Blackburn XT12P?
No press or die set. The XT12P is a mechanical connector, bolted with silicon bronze hardware and tightened with a wrench, which is why it suits field taps and maintenance work where a crimp tool is not on the truck.
6) What is the exact part number to order the Blackburn tee-tap clamp for 4/0 stranded to 2 solid?
Blackburn XT12P. That is the manufacturer part number, a copper tee-tap clamp for 4/0 stranded run with a 2 solid tap, rated 35 kV.
7) What is the 5/16 inch dimension on the Blackburn XT12P?
5/16 inch is the stated outside diameter on the XT12P clamp. Use it when you are checking clearance to adjacent conductors, a ground bus, or the inside wall of an enclosure before you set the tap.
8) Is the Blackburn XT12P sold individually or in a pack?
Sold each. Order one clamp per tap point, and remember the connector comes bare, so count in your own insulating cover or tape for each connection.
