Blackburn ICS61-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Blackburn ICS61-1 service entrance sleeve be used on aluminum to copper connections?
Yes. The ICS61-1 insulated service entrance sleeve complies with ANSI C119.4 when properly installed on aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors, so it handles the dissimilar-metal transition a lot of service drops require. It is also RUS Accepted, which matters on rural utility and co-op work.
2) How many conductors does the Blackburn ICS61-1 splice take?
Two. The ICS61-1 is a two-conductor sleeve, meaning one conductor entered from each end and crimped, so it is a straight in-line splice rather than a tap or a multi-port block. If you need to land three or more conductors in one connector, this is not the part.
3) Is the Blackburn ICS61-1 crimped or does it use setscrews?
It's a compression connector. The ICS61-1 is installed with a crimp tool and die, not screws, so you need the correct compression tool on site. Setscrew-style service entrance connectors are the alternative if you don't have a crimper available.
4) Does the ICS61-1 come already insulated, or do I have to tape the splice?
The ICS61-1 ships with insulation over the barrel, which is what the "insulated service entrance sleeve" designation refers to. You crimp it and the covering stays in place, so there is no separate sleeving or taping step to build the insulation.
5) How long is the Blackburn ICS61-1 sleeve, and will it fit in a meter socket or service head?
The stated product size is 2-25/32 inches. Measure the space in your meter can, gutter, or weatherhead before committing, because that overall length plus the bend radius of the conductors is what decides whether the splice will dress in cleanly.
6) Is the Blackburn ICS61-1 sold individually or in a bag?
Each. The ICS61-1 is sold as a single connector, so order one per splice you intend to make rather than assuming a multipack quantity.
7) What is the exact part number and country of origin for the Blackburn insulated service entrance sleeve?
The manufacturer part number is ICS61-1, made in Mexico. Distributors cross-referencing Blackburn stock should use ICS61-1 as the ordering designation.
