Blackburn FBB24-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn FBB24-1 flexible braid used for?
The FBB24-1 is a flexible flat braid bonding jumper, 24 KCMIL and 24 inches long, with a single bolt hole for termination. It is used where two points need to stay electrically bonded but one of them moves or vibrates, so a rigid conductor or solid bar would fatigue. The conductor is tin-plated copper, which is why it is commonly run to galvanized or aluminum enclosures, gutter covers, transformer cases, and equipment frames.
2) Is the Blackburn FBB24-1 bonding braid UL listed?
The FBB24-1 carries UL file E3060 and CSA LR29625, so it is acceptable on both US and Canadian work where a listed bonding jumper is required.
3) Will a flat braid jumper work across an expansion joint or on vibrating equipment where solid copper keeps breaking?
That is exactly the case for the FBB24-1. A flat, flexible braid takes repeated movement without work-hardening the way a solid conductor or a rigid bonding bar does, so it suits expansion joints, generator and motor frames, transformer enclosures, and hinged or removable panels. At 24 inches long you have enough slack to form a loop rather than pull the braid tight, which is what keeps the flex out of the terminations.
4) How many bolt holes does the Blackburn FBB24-1 braid have, and what does that mean for how I mount it?
One hole per end. That means each termination is a single bolt through the braid terminal, so you get a straightforward bolted connection to a lug pad, enclosure hole, or ground bar, but the braid can pivot around that single fastener. If your spec calls for a non-rotating, two-bolt pattern, you want a 2-hole braid instead of the FBB24-1.
5) Does the tin plating on the FBB24-1 matter if I am bonding to aluminum or galvanized steel?
It does. The FBB24-1 conductor is tin-plated copper, and the plating puts a barrier between the copper and dissimilar metal at the joint, which is the usual reason a tinned braid is specified for aluminum enclosures, galvanized strut, and outdoor or damp locations rather than a bare copper jumper.
6) What part number do I give my distributor for the 24 inch, 24 KCMIL Blackburn braid?
Blackburn FBB24-1. The number reads directly: 24 KCMIL braid, 1-hole terminal, and the finished length is 24 inches.
7) Do I need to supply my own bolts and washers for the FBB24-1 braid?
Yes. The FBB24-1 is supplied as the braid with its 1-hole terminals only, so the through-bolts, nuts, and any belleville or flat washers your spec calls for are a separate line item, along with a joint compound if you are landing on aluminum.
8) Is the Blackburn FBB24-1 sold individually or in a pack?
Each. One FBB24-1 braid per unit, so order one per bond point rather than expecting a multi-pack. The part is made in the United States.
