Blackburn 32511 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn 32511 Locktite connector take?
The Blackburn 32511 is rated for conductors from 2/0 through 4/0. It's a two-way (two-conductor) mechanical splice connector, so both ports fall in that 2/0-4/0 range. If your run is smaller than 2/0 or larger than 4/0, you need a different catalog number in the Locktite line.
2) Can I use the Blackburn 32511 on aluminum conductors?
No. The 32511 Locktite is a copper-body connector built for copper conductors only (the CU in the description). For aluminum or mixed copper-to-aluminum splices you need a dual-rated AL9CU connector instead.
3) Is the Blackburn 32511 connector UL listed?
Yes, it carries UL file E9809. That is the listing inspectors look for on a mechanical splice connector, so it will pass on a job that specifies UL listed compression or mechanical connectors.
4) Is a Locktite mechanical connector like the 32511 a substitute for a compression splice?
They do the same job differently. The 32511 is a set-screw mechanical connector: you strip, insert both conductors, and torque the screws with a hex key or driver, so no hydraulic crimper or die set is needed. A compression sleeve needs the right tool and die on site. For splicing 2/0 through 4/0 copper in a pull box or handhole where you don't want to drag a crimper out, the mechanical connector is the practical pick; where the spec calls out compression connectors specifically, it is not an accepted swap.
5) Does the 32511 need to be insulated after I install it?
Yes. It's a bare copper mechanical connector with no factory insulation, so the splice has to be re-insulated to the voltage class of the circuit using tape, an insulating cover, or heat shrink sized to the finished body. Order that separately.
6) Is the Blackburn 32511 sold individually or in a box?
It ships as each, one connector per unit, so order one per splice point. A two-way connector handles one splice of two conductors, meaning a three-phase plus neutral splice needs four of them.
