Blackburn DBSK82 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn DBSK82 direct burial splice kit cover?
The DBSK82 kit is built for conductors from No. 8 AWG through No. 2 AWG. Anything outside that range needs a different kit size, since the compression connector and the heat shrink tube are both sized to that band.
2) Can this splice be buried in the ground without a junction box?
That is what it's made for. The DBSK82 is a direct burial splice kit: a compression splice sealed with a heat shrink tube, so the completed joint is insulated and moisture sealed for underground use. It carries UL E9809 and CSA 233676 listings.
3) How many conductors does one DBSK82 kit splice?
One kit handles a single pole, meaning one conductor-to-conductor splice. A three-conductor underground run plus a ground needs a separate kit per conductor, so count your kits by the number of splices, not by the number of runs. Kits are sold each.
4) Do I need a special tool to make up the DBSK82 splice?
It's a compression splice, so the connector has to be crimped with a compression tool and the correct die, not tightened with a wrench. The kit also includes heat shrink tubing, which requires a heat source to seal. No tools are part of the kit.
5) Is the Blackburn DBSK82 accepted for inspected commercial work?
The kit is UL listed under E9809 and CSA certified under 233676, which is what an inspector or a facility engineer looks for on a buried splice. Country of origin is Mexico.
6) What is the correct part number to reorder this Blackburn direct burial splice kit?
Order by manufacturer part number DBSK82 from Blackburn. That is the 8 to 2 AWG single-pole direct burial kit, grey.
