Blackburn 4H – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn 4H split-bolt connector take?
The Blackburn 4H handles 4 through 8 AWG conductors, so it covers the common range for feeder taps, panel work, and bonding jumpers in that size band. Both wires being joined need to fall inside that 4-8 AWG range; going to a larger conductor means stepping up to a bigger split-bolt in the series rather than forcing this one.
2) Can I use a 4H split-bolt for grounding and bonding connections?
Yes. Grounding and bonding is one of the listed applications for the 4H, and the bronze alloy body is what makes it suitable there, since bronze resists corrosion and carries current well for a mechanical tap on a ground electrode conductor or bonding jumper. It is UL listed under E9809.
3) Is the 4H a UL listed connector for code inspection?
The 4H carries UL listing under file E9809, which is what an inspector looks for on a mechanical connector used in a panel, service entrance, or bonding application. That listing is stated for the product itself, not just the brand.
4) Do split-bolt connectors need to be taped or insulated after installation?
A split-bolt like the 4H is a bare mechanical connector, bronze alloy with a metallic finish and no insulating cover, so any connection made in an energized circuit has to be insulated in the field with rubber tape and a vinyl overwrap, or covered with an insulating cap. For a bare grounding or bonding connection, no insulation is required.
5) Do I need a crimper or special tool to install a Blackburn 4H?
No crimping tool is needed. The 4H is a mechanical split-bolt: lay the two conductors into the split, thread the nut down, and torque it with a standard wrench or socket. That is the main practical difference from a compression connector, which needs a die and a hydraulic or battery crimper.
6) Should I use a split-bolt or a compression connector for a 4 AWG tap?
For a 4 AWG tap, a split-bolt like the 4H is the faster choice when the splice is accessible and you want a reusable, serviceable connection, since it needs only a wrench and can be taken apart later. A compression connector is the better pick where the splice will be buried, direct-buried, or subject to vibration, because it cannot loosen and needs no re-torquing. The 4H is a mechanical connector by design.
7) What is the manufacturer part number for the Blackburn 4H split-bolt?
The part number is simply 4H, the Blackburn designation for the high-strength split-bolt covering 4-8 AWG. Distributors cross-referencing should match on 4H rather than on the wire range alone, since other split-bolt models overlap in size coverage.
8) Will a bronze split-bolt corrode if used in a damp electrical vault or outdoor enclosure?
Bronze alloy is specified for the 4H precisely because it resists corrosion better than plain steel hardware, which is why split-bolts of this type are used on grounding connections in damp locations. Note it is a bronze connector, so pair it with copper conductors; joining copper to aluminum needs a connector rated for that combination.
9) Is the Blackburn 4H sold individually or in a box?
The 4H is sold each, so the quantity you order is the number of connectors you get. Buyers stocking a truck or a maintenance crib order the count they need rather than a carton multiple.
