Blackburn HT40C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn HT40C cover actually for, and does it include the H-tap connector?
The HT40C is the insulating cover alone, not a connector. It is a soft polypropylene boot that snaps over an installed H-tap (compression tap) connection to insulate the splice after it is crimped. You order the H-tap connector separately and match the cover to that connector's size range.
2) What conductor size range does the Blackburn HT40C insulating cover fit?
It covers H-tap connections in the 6 AWG through 4/0 AWG range. Sizing is by the connector body, so confirm the crimped H-tap you are insulating falls inside that 6 to 4/0 window before ordering, since a cover that is too small will not close over the crimp.
3) Can I use the HT40C cover on a 600 volt service tap?
Yes. The cover carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical commercial and industrial branch, feeder, and service tap work. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
4) Is the Blackburn HT40C sold individually or in a bag of covers?
Sold each. One HT40C covers one H-tap connection, so count your taps and order that quantity. Part number is HT40C.
5) Do I still need tape or shrink over the tap if I use an H-tap cover?
The HT40C is the insulation for the connection on its own, rated 600 V and UL recognized under file E9809. It replaces a taped-up splice on the crimped H-tap rather than supplementing it. For submersible or direct-burial locations, a soft cover is not a water seal, so use a sealed or gel-filled method there instead.
6) What material and color is the HT40C tap cover, and will it hold up in a pad-mount enclosure or handhole?
Black polypropylene, soft-body style so it flexes over the crimped connector and the conductors leaving it. The black pigment is the standard choice for taps in gear, pull boxes, and underground enclosures where a rigid cover would be hard to seat.
7) Is the Blackburn HT40C made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic-content requirements, so it is worth noting on submittals for government, school, and healthcare work.
