Blackburn 54855LR12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes will the Blackburn 54855LR12 grounding connector take?
It is specified for 2 through 250 cable, so it covers the common grounding electrode conductor range on services and equipment grounds. Outside that range the die will not form a proper compression on the conductor.
2) Is the Blackburn 54855LR12 a bolted connector or a crimp connector?
It's a compression fitting from Blackburn's E-Z-Ground line, so it is installed with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die, not tightened with a wrench. The FIG 6TO8 marking on the barrel tells you which die set to index. Once crimped it is permanent, which is what most inspectors prefer for a grounding electrode connection on a driven rod.
3) Can I use the Blackburn 54855LR12 for a direct-buried ground rod connection?
It is a compression grounding device for connecting cable to a 1/2 inch ground rod, which is the application driven-rod connections call for. Crimped grounding connections are what electricians use where the connection will be buried and unreachable, since there is no bolt to back off over time.
4) Is the Blackburn 54855LR12 made in the USA for spec and government jobs?
Country of origin is the United States, which is the answer procurement officers on federal, municipal and institutional projects usually need on file before a grounding connector gets approved.
5) Is the Blackburn 54855LR12 sold individually or in a box?
Sold each, so you order one per connection point. For a multi-rod electrode system or a job with several service grounds, count your rod terminations and order to match.
6) What is the manufacturer part number to order this Blackburn ground rod compression tap?
Order it as Blackburn 54855LR12. That is the full catalog number covering the FIG 6TO8 compression connector for a 1/2 inch rod with a 2 to 250 conductor.
