Blackburn 1000M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn 1000M split bolt connector take?
The Blackburn 1000M is a high-strength split bolt sized for a 1000 kcmil run conductor down to an 800 kcmil tap. That range is what the 1000-800 designation on the part refers to. If your two conductors fall outside that pairing, you need a different size in the split bolt line rather than forcing this one.
2) What material is the Blackburn 1000M split bolt made of, and can I use it on copper?
It is a bronze alloy body, which is the standard high-strength split bolt material for copper-to-copper mechanical taps. Bronze alloy split bolts are not the aluminum-bodied dual-rated type, so for aluminum or copper-to-aluminum connections you want a connector specifically marked AL9CU.
3) Do I get one split bolt or a box when I order the Blackburn 1000M?
The 1000M is sold each, so one connector per unit ordered. On a large-conductor splice you typically need one per phase plus the neutral, so count your conductors before you set the quantity.
4) Does a split bolt like the Blackburn 1000M need to be insulated after it is installed?
Yes. A split bolt is a bare mechanical connector, bronze alloy with a metallic finish and no insulating cover of its own. Once torqued, the splice has to be taped or covered with an insulating boot rated for the circuit voltage. That cover is not supplied with the connector.
5) Is the Blackburn 1000M a compression connector or a mechanical one?
Mechanical. It bolts down onto the conductors with a wrench, no hydraulic crimper or die set needed, which is why split bolts get used for field taps and repairs where bringing a crimp tool to the conductor is impractical. Compression lugs and splices give a permanent, tooled connection instead and are the choice where the splice has to be pulled through conduit or kept to a smaller profile.
