Blackburn 6HPS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Blackburn 6HPS split-bolt connector work on 6 AWG solid copper wire?
The 6HPS split-bolt handles solid conductors from 6 AWG down through 12 AWG, so 6 AWG solid is the top of its range. That covers the common branch-circuit and grounding sizes an electrician splices in a panel or junction box. If your run is larger than 6 AWG, this is the wrong size split-bolt and you need a larger body.
2) Is the Blackburn 6HPS split-bolt UL listed for use in commercial electrical work?
It carries UL file E9809 as a mechanical connector, which is what an inspector or a spec-driven institutional job looks for on a splice. That listing is stated on the product itself, not inferred from the category.
3) Can I use the Blackburn 6HPS on stranded wire, or only solid?
The 6HPS is rated for 6 through 12 AWG solid conductors. If you are splicing stranded conductors, order a split-bolt whose range is stated for stranded, not this one, because the range on a split-bolt is what determines whether the pressure bar seats correctly on the conductor.
4) What is the Blackburn 6HPS made of, and will it corrode in a damp basement or outdoor pull box?
Copper alloy body with an electro tin-plated finish. The tin plating is the corrosion barrier, and it also lets the connector take aluminum as well as copper conductors without the copper-to-aluminum contact you would get from a bare copper connector.
5) Should I use a split-bolt like the Blackburn 6HPS or a wire nut for a 6 AWG splice?
Split-bolts are the mechanical answer once conductors get too big and too stiff for a twist-on connector, which is roughly where 6 AWG sits. The 6HPS clamps the two conductors between the bolt body and the pressure bar as you torque the nut, so the connection does not depend on the spring of a cap. Downside: a split-bolt splice is bare and has to be taped or covered to restore insulation, where a wire nut is insulated as installed. For small branch conductors at 14 and 12 AWG in a box, a twist-on is faster.
6) Does the Blackburn 6HPS come with insulating tape or a cover?
It ships as a bare split-bolt connector, sold each. Reinsulating the splice is a separate line item, so plan on rubber and vinyl tape or a snap-on split-bolt cover in the same order.
7) Can the Blackburn 6HPS be used for a grounding electrode or bonding jumper connection?
Grounding and bonding splices are among the uses for the 6HPS, and its UL E9809 listing as a mechanical connector is what makes it acceptable for that work. Tin plating over copper alloy also matters on a ground, where the connection often sits in a damp location for the life of the building.
8) What part number do I order for the Blackburn 6-12 AWG high strength split-bolt?
Blackburn model 6HPS. One model covers the whole 6 to 12 AWG solid range, so there is no size or finish choice to make when ordering, and it is sold as a single piece rather than a bag or box.
