Blackburn 1H3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn 1H3 split bolt connector take?
The 1H3 is rated for a main range of 2 AWG stranded down to 6 AWG solid, which is what the "2STR-6SLD" in the part description refers to. It's a high strength split bolt, so it's used to tap or splice copper conductors in that range. If your run conductor is larger than 2 AWG stranded, step up to a larger split bolt in the Blackburn line rather than forcing this one.
2) Is the Blackburn 1H3 split bolt UL listed?
Yes. The 1H3 carries UL file E9809, which is the listing referenced in its spec data. That's the detail an inspector or an institutional spec reviewer will want on a mechanical connector used in a panel, pull box, or grounding splice.
3) Do I still need to insulate a split bolt splice made with the 1H3?
Yes. The 1H3 is a bare mechanical connector, so any splice or tap made with it has to be re-insulated to the level of the conductor insulation, typically rubber splicing tape built up over the bolt followed by vinyl electrical tape, or a split bolt insulating cover. Nothing of that kind ships with the connector itself.
4) Can I use the 1H3 split bolt for a grounding electrode conductor tap?
The 1H3 is a bronze alloy split bolt connector for copper conductors in the 2 AWG stranded to 6 AWG solid range, and it is UL listed under file E9809. That covers the usual 6 AWG and 4 AWG copper grounding conductor sizes. Check that your specific application permits a mechanical splice, since some grounding electrode conductor runs are required to be unspliced or joined only by irreversible means.
5) What is the exact part number to order this Blackburn split bolt, and where is it made?
Order it as Blackburn 1H3. It's manufactured in Mexico. That MPN is what distributors and wholesalers should cross reference, since the number alone identifies both the high strength split bolt body and the 2 AWG stranded to 6 AWG solid conductor range.
