Blackburn 2HPS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn 2HPS split-bolt connector take?
The Blackburn 2HPS split-bolt handles conductors from 8 AWG up to 2 AWG. It is a run-to-tap mechanical connector, so both the main and the tap have to fall inside that 2-8 AWG range. Anything larger than 2 AWG needs a bigger split-bolt in the series.
2) Can I use this split-bolt on aluminum conductors or is it copper only?
The 2HPS is a copper alloy body with an electro tin-plated finish, which is the standard copper-only split-bolt build. Tin plating is there for corrosion resistance and connection stability, not for aluminum rating. For aluminum or AL/CU combination taps, use a connector specifically marked AL9CU.
3) Is the Blackburn 2HPS UL listed for inspection sign-off?
Yes. The 2HPS carries UL file E9809, which is what an inspector looks for on a mechanical tap connector in a panel, service entrance, or grounding application.
4) Do I need to tape or insulate a split-bolt connection after I make it?
Yes. A split-bolt like the 2HPS is a bare mechanical connector with no insulation of its own, so the finished tap has to be insulated in the field with tape or a split-bolt insulating cover rated for the circuit voltage. That applies in panels, junction boxes, and service entrance work alike. Grounding electrode conductor taps are the usual exception where bare is acceptable.
5) Is the 2HPS suitable for grounding and bonding taps?
It is. Grounding system applications and service entrance connections are both listed uses for this connector, and the tin-plated copper alloy body holds up where a ground tap sits in a damp or outdoor enclosure. Keep the conductors inside 2-8 AWG.
6) What is the difference between the high strength 2HPS and a standard split-bolt?
The high strength version is built for a higher clamping force on the bolt, which is what you want on stranded service or feeder taps where the connection has to survive pull and thermal cycling. A standard split-bolt covers the same wire sizes but is intended for lighter duty work. Both are mechanical connectors, not compression.
7) Am I buying one connector or a box of them?
The Blackburn 2HPS sells individually, each. If you are making up a panel with a dozen taps, order the count you need per connection.
8) What is the exact part number and where is the Blackburn 2HPS made?
Order it as Blackburn 2HPS. Country of origin is Mexico, which matters if you are filling a government or institutional order with sourcing documentation requirements.
