Blackburn 54895LR58 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What die or figure number do I set my crimp tool to for the Blackburn 54895LR58?
This connector calls for figure 6 to 8 on the die index, shown in the part description as FIG 6TO8. Set your hydraulic compression tool to that figure range for the crimp. Electricians running a batch of rod connections should verify the tool head carries the matching die set before mobilizing to the site.
2) Should I use a compression ground rod connector like this or a mechanical acorn clamp?
Compression is the right call for a direct-buried or concrete-encased connection. The 54895LR58 is an E-Z-Ground compression fitting, so once it is crimped there is nothing to loosen with thermal cycling or soil movement, and it is an irreversible connection. A mechanical acorn clamp is the choice when you need to be able to remove or re-terminate the conductor later, or when you do not have a hydraulic crimper on the truck. Many inspectors prefer compression or exothermic connections for buried electrode terminations.
3) Is the Blackburn 54895LR58 sold individually or in a box quantity?
It ships as an each, one connector per selling unit, so a contractor ordering ten rod terminations orders ten. Facilities and MRO buyers standardizing on 5/8 inch rods with 250-500 kcmil conductor can stock it by the piece rather than committing to a carton.
4) Is the Blackburn 54895LR58 grounding connector made in the USA?
Country of origin on the 54895LR58 is the United States. That matters on federal, municipal, and other publicly funded projects that carry domestic sourcing language in the specification.
5) What manufacturer part number do I give my distributor for this Blackburn ground rod connector?
Order it as Blackburn 54895LR58. That single MPN carries the whole configuration: the 5/8 inch rod size, the 250-500 conductor range, and the figure 6 to 8 crimp.
