Blackburn 54885L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable sizes does the Blackburn 54885L compression connector take?
The 54885L is a cable-to-cable compression ground connector sized for a 250 to 500 kcmil main run with a 6 through 2 AWG tap, per its 6TO6 figure designation. If your run conductor is smaller than 250 kcmil or your tap is larger than 2 AWG, this is the wrong die/sleeve combination and you need a different figure number.
2) Is the 54885L a mechanical lug or a crimp-on connector?
It is a compression connector, part of Blackburn's E-Z-Ground compression grounding line, so it is installed with a hydraulic or battery crimping tool and the die matched to the figure number (6TO6). There are no bolts or set screws to torque, and once crimped it is a permanent, irreversible connection.
3) Can I use the Blackburn 54885L to tap a smaller ground conductor off a large grounding electrode conductor?
That is exactly the arrangement it is built for: a 250 to 500 kcmil cable as the through run with a 6 to 2 AWG cable tapped to it, made up as a single crimped cable-to-cable joint. It is a grounding and bonding device, not a power splice, so use it on grounding electrode and bonding conductors.
4) Does the Blackburn 54885L come as a single piece or in a box of multiples?
The 54885L is sold individually, one connector per unit, so order one for each cable-to-cable tap you are making. Manufacturer part number is 54885L.
5) Where is the Blackburn 54885L grounding connector made? I have a domestic sourcing requirement on the job.
Country of origin on the 54885L is the United States, which is what public-works and government specs with domestic-content language usually ask you to document. Cite the Blackburn part number 54885L on the submittal.
