Blackburn DLC23 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size will the DLC23 clamp accept?
The clamp body is sized for a 1/2 inch outside diameter, so it takes bare conductor up to that OD. Measure the actual cable diameter over the strands, not the AWG marking, before ordering.
2) What voltage is the Blackburn DLC23 rated for?
Rated to 35 kV, which covers typical medium voltage distribution work up through 35 kV class systems. It is not a low voltage building wiring connector.
3) What is the Blackburn DLC23 deadend loop clamp used for?
The DLC23 is a mechanical deadend loop connector, used to make a bolted loop connection on bare overhead conductor at a deadend rather than a compression or welded splice. It handles 2 conductors and needs no crimping tool, just a wrench, so it can be installed and later re-opened in the field.
4) Can the DLC23 be used on insulated cable or only bare wire?
Bare conductor. Both the insulation material and surface finishing are listed as bare, meaning this is an uninsulated aluminum clamp intended for bare overhead conductor. If the run is insulated, the insulation has to be stripped back at the connection point or a different connector used.
5) Is the DLC23 aluminum body safe on copper conductor?
The clamp is aluminum bodied. Aluminum to copper contact in an outdoor connection is a dissimilar metal joint, so on copper runs use a connector rated for the combination rather than assuming this one is dual rated. For aluminum to aluminum deadend loops it is a direct match.
6) Do I need a crimping tool or die set to install this Blackburn clamp?
No. It is a mechanical connector, tightened with hand tools rather than pressed with a hydraulic crimper and matched die. That is the main reason crews carry them for repair and tap work where hauling a press up a pole is not practical.
7) Is the DLC23 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each, so the quantity you order is the number of clamps you get. Each clamp makes one loop connection on 2 conductors, so count your deadends and order accordingly.
8) What is the exact part number and manufacturer for this deadloop clamp?
Blackburn DLC23, ordered by that MPN. Blackburn is the connector line, so specify DLC23 by name when matching existing hardware on a line so the loop geometry and conductor range stay consistent.
