Blackburn 35013 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn 35013 Locktite tap connector take?
The Blackburn 35013 is a tee tap sized for a 300 to 500 kcmil run conductor with a 4/0 to 500 kcmil tap conductor. The run is the through conductor that stays continuous; the tap is the branch you are pulling off it. If either of your conductors falls outside those ranges, this is the wrong body size and you need a different Locktite range.
2) Can I use the Blackburn 35013 on aluminum conductors?
The 35013 is a copper connector, so it is intended for copper conductors. For aluminum or mixed copper-to-aluminum runs you want a dual-rated AL9CU bronze or aluminum-bodied tap instead, sized to the same kcmil ranges.
3) What is the difference between a tee tap like the Blackburn 35013 and a splice or a lug?
A tee tap branches a second conductor off a continuous run without cutting the run. A splice joins two conductor ends into one line, and a lug terminates a conductor onto a bus, breaker pad, or ground bar. The 35013 is the tee type: 300 to 500 kcmil through the run, 4/0 to 500 kcmil on the branch. If you are ending the cable rather than branching it, you want a lug, not this.
4) Do I need a crimp tool or dies for the Blackburn 35013 Locktite tap?
No. Locktite connectors are mechanical set-screw taps, so they go on with a hex key or wrench, not a hydraulic crimper and die set. That is the practical reason to pick this over a compression tap on a service call or a retrofit where you cannot get a crimp head into the gutter.
5) What part number should I order for the 300-500 to 4/0-500 Blackburn bronze tee tap?
Order Blackburn 35013. The manufacturer part number and the model designation are the same, 35013, and it is the bronze tee configuration covering a 300 to 500 kcmil run with a 4/0 to 500 kcmil tap.
6) Does the Blackburn 35013 come in a pack or as a single piece?
It sells as each, one connector per unit. For a three-phase tap you are ordering three, plus whatever you need for the neutral or ground.
7) Where is the Blackburn 35013 connector made?
Manufactured in Mexico. That matters on public jobs with domestic-content language in the spec, so check the project requirements before you commit it to a government or federally funded submittal.
