Blackburn 54855L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn 54855L compression connector take?
Both elements of the 54855L accept No. 6 through No. 2 conductor, so the run and the tap can each land anywhere in that range. It's a figure 6 to 6 die configuration, meaning both crimp positions use the same die group.
2) Do I need a hydraulic crimper for the Blackburn 54855L, or can I use a mechanical lug instead?
The 54855L is a compression fitting from Blackburn's E-Z-Ground line, so it has to be crimped with the correct die, not tightened with a setscrew. It calls for the FIG 6 die on both elements. If you'd rather not carry a crimper to the job, use a mechanical grounding connector or a bolted lug in the same conductor range instead of this part.
3) Is the Blackburn 54855L the right connector for tapping a No. 4 ground wire off a No. 2 electrode conductor?
Yes, that combination is inside the range. Both crimp elements on the 54855L are rated No. 6 to No. 2, so a No. 4 tap on a No. 2 main is covered. If either conductor falls outside 6 through 2, you need a different figure number in the E-Z-Ground compression series.
4) Are Blackburn 54855L grounding connectors made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the 54855L is the United States, which is the line item a government, school district, or federally funded project submittal usually asks for on grounding hardware.
5) What is the difference between an E-Z-Ground compression connector and a ground rod clamp?
Two different jobs. A rod clamp bolts a conductor to a driven ground rod and can be loosened later. The 54855L is a permanent compression splice or tap between conductors, No. 6 to No. 2 on both elements, crimped once and irreversible. Use the clamp at the rod, use this where you're joining or tapping grounding conductors in a grid, bond jumper, or equipment ground run.
