Blackburn 54885LR12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the 54885LR12 a compression connector or a mechanical clamp?
It is a compression fitting from Blackburn's E-Z-Ground line, so it is crimped with a die tool onto the rod and cable rather than tightened with a setscrew. That means you need the matching compression tool and die on site; there is no bolt to torque and no hardware to back out over time, which is why these get used for direct-burial and concrete-encased grounding runs.
2) Can I use the 54885LR12 to splice two cables together instead of tapping to a ground rod?
No. This is a rod-to-cable connector, figured for a 1/2 inch ground rod on one side and 250-500 kcmil cable on the other. For a cable-to-cable splice or a tap between two conductors you need a different figure in the compression grounding range, not this one.
3) Where is the Blackburn 54885LR12 grounding connector made?
Made in the United States, which is what institutional and government procurement people usually need confirmed for Buy American style purchasing rules. The manufacturer part number is 54885LR12.
4) Is the Blackburn 54885LR12 sold individually or in a box?
Each. One connector per selling unit, so order the exact count of rod-to-cable taps your grounding grid calls for plus spares, since a crimped fitting cannot be reused if the crimp is misplaced.
