Blackburn FB3XD12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why use a flexible braid instead of solid copper bar or bare ground wire for a bonding jumper?
Braid is the choice when the two points you are bonding move relative to each other, from vibration, thermal expansion, or a hinged door or removable panel. Solid bar transmits that movement into the connection and eventually cracks it. The FB3XD12 is a flat flexible braid 12 inches long with a two-hole 9/16 inch pad at each end, so it bolts down hard at both ends while the braid absorbs the motion.
2) Is the Blackburn FB3XD12 braid UL listed for a spec job?
It carries UL E3060 and CSA LR29625. Those are the file numbers a specifier or inspector will want on the submittal for a grounding and bonding connector.
3) Does a two-hole braid connector need a specific bolt spacing on the equipment pad?
Yes, the pad has to match. The FB3XD12 terminals are punched with two 9/16 inch holes, so the equipment pad or busbar has to have a matching two-hole pattern for a flush bolted connection. If your gear only has a single tapped stud, a two-hole braid will only land on one bolt and you want a one-hole braid instead.
4) Is the FB3XD12 braid strap copper, and will it hold up outdoors or in a damp vault?
Conductor is tin-plated copper in a flat, flexible braid. The tin plating is what gives it corrosion resistance at the terminations and keeps the copper from oxidizing in damp or dirty environments, which is why braids like this get used on transformer cases, switchgear frames, and generator bonding.
5) Is the Blackburn FB3XD12 made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what federal, transit, and utility procurement teams need confirmed before a braid jumper goes on a submittal.
6) Do I need lugs or extra hardware to install this braid jumper?
No lugs required. The FB3XD12 comes with the flat braid and terminal pads already formed, so you supply only the bolts, nuts, and washers sized for the 9/16 inch holes plus any antioxidant compound your spec calls for at the contact surfaces.
7) Is the FB3XD12 sold individually or in a pack?
Sold each. Order one per bonding point; a hinged panel or a removable cover bonded at a single location takes one braid.
