Blackburn C5-BB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Blackburn C5-BB cover actually used for?
The C5-BB is an insulating plastic cover that snaps over a completed H-tap compression connection made with an O die. It is a Type C, H-type compression connector cover, and it insulates both the input and output conductors where they enter the tap, so the crimped joint is not left bare in a panel, pull box, or utility connection point.
2) How big is the Blackburn C5-BB insulating cover, and will it fit in a tight box?
It measures 3.75 in deep/long, 1.6 in high and 1.25 in wide. That is the footprint you need to clear inside a gutter, panel, or hand hole once the cover is closed over the crimp, so lay it against your available bending space before you commit the tap location.
3) Will the C5-BB cover fit any H-tap, or only certain crimps?
It is matched to O die taps, which is the die code stamped on the crimp. A cover is sized to the tap body it wraps, so check the die letter called out on the connector you crimped with. If your tap was made with a different die, the C5-BB is the wrong cover and you need the cover matched to that die code.
4) Does the C5-BB cover need screws or a mounting bracket?
No hardware is involved. The cover has no mounting provision of its own, it closes over the connector body and is carried by the tap and conductors. Nothing gets fastened to the enclosure.
5) Does the C5-BB cover insulate the tap conductor as well as the run conductor?
Both. It is an input/output style cover, meaning it encloses the connector and the conductor entries on each side rather than just capping one end. That is what you want on an H-tap where a tap conductor lands alongside the through run.
6) Does the Blackburn C5-BB cover make a submersible or watertight joint?
No. It is a plastic insulating cover for the crimped connection, not a sealed enclosure. For a direct-buried or submerged splice you want a gel-filled or resin splice kit instead, not an insulating cover.
7) What material is the Blackburn C5-BB cover made from?
Polypropylene, in black. Polypropylene is used here for its dielectric properties and because it holds up to handling in the field without becoming brittle the way a thin vinyl boot can. Made in the United States.
8) Is the Blackburn C5-BB sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each. One cover per unit, so if you are covering a run of taps, order a piece per connection.
