Blackburn FBD6-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size bolt hole does the Blackburn FBD6-1 flexible braid connector take?
The FBD6-1 is a 1-hole flexible braid strap with a 7/16 inch hole, so it lands on a 3/8 inch bolt or stud with normal clearance. One hole per end means you bolt it down at a single point, which is fine for a bonding jumper but will let the strap pivot on the stud if it is not torqued properly.
2) How long is the FBD6-1 braid and how wide is the strap?
It is a 1 inch by 6 inch flat braid, with the cable length listed at 6 inches. That 1 inch flat profile is what lets it sit tight against equipment frames and route through shallow spaces a round conductor would not clear.
3) Does this Blackburn braid jumper carry a UL listing for a spec job?
Yes. The FBD6-1 flexible braid is covered under UL E3060 and CSA LR29625, which is what an inspector or a submittal package usually wants to see for a bonding jumper. Domestic origin is stated as United States, which matters on Buy American and federal work.
4) Is this braid connector suitable for outdoor or damp electrical enclosures?
The conductor is tin-plated copper, and the tin plating is what gives it corrosion resistance over bare copper in damp or industrial atmospheres. It is a US-made part carrying UL E3060 and CSA LR29625.
5) Why use a flexible braid strap instead of a solid or stranded bonding jumper?
A flexible braid is what you reach for when the two points you are bonding move relative to each other: hinged enclosure doors, vibrating motor frames, sliding panels, expansion joints in busway or raceway. The FBD6-1 is a flexible flat braid, so it flexes repeatedly without work-hardening the way a solid bar or a tightly bundled stranded jumper would. For a fixed, non-moving bond, a standard stranded jumper or a bonding bushing is the simpler part.
6) Do I get one strap or a pack when I order the Blackburn FBD6-1?
It is sold each, one braid strap per unit, under manufacturer part number FBD6-1. Mounting bolts, nuts and washers are not part of the strap, so pick up hardware to suit the 7/16 inch hole and the tapped or drilled point you are bonding to.
