Blackburn 54885 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn 54885 grounding connector take on the main and the tap?
The 54885 is a Figure 6 compression connector sized for a 250 kcmil to 500 kcmil main run with a 4 AWG to 2 AWG tap. Both ends have to fall in those ranges for the crimp to hold; a main smaller than 250 kcmil or a tap outside 4-2 AWG needs a different figure number.
2) Is the Blackburn 54885 a compression connector or a mechanical bolted lug?
It's a compression fitting, part of the E-Z-Ground compression grounding line. You install it with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die for the figure number, not with a wrench. If you want a connector you can install with hand tools and re-torque later, look at a mechanical grounding connector instead.
3) What is the Blackburn 54885 made of, and can I use it on a direct-buried ground grid?
The connector body is copper, which is the standard material for a copper-to-copper grounding tap and what you want for a buried or concrete-encased connection carrying copper conductors. Match it to copper conductors; it is not intended for aluminum.
4) What does the Figure 6 designation on a Blackburn compression grounding connector mean for tooling?
Figure 6 is the connector's die index. Your crimp tool needs the die that matches that figure number to get a proper compression on the 250-500 kcmil main and the 4-2 AWG tap. Crimping with the wrong die is the most common cause of a failed ground tap.
5) Is the Blackburn 54885 sold individually or in a box?
It is sold each, one connector per unit, so order one per tap point on the grid or riser.
6) Where is the Blackburn 54885 grounding connector made?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters if the job carries a domestic-content or Buy American requirement on electrical materials.
7) What part number do I quote to order the Blackburn Figure 6 250-500 to 4-2 connector?
Order it as Blackburn 54885. That is the manufacturer part number for the Figure 6 compression connector with a 250-500 kcmil main and a 4-2 AWG tap.
