Blackburn 31211 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn 31211 ground bus tap accept?
The Blackburn 31211 Locktite ground bus tap covers 4/0 through 300 kcmil copper conductors, per its 4/0-300 range. If your run is smaller than 4/0 or larger than 300 kcmil, you need a different tap in the Locktite line.
2) Is the Blackburn 31211 tap copper, and can I use it on aluminum conductor?
It's a copper-bodied connector, marked CU, so it is intended for copper conductors. For aluminum or dual-rated runs you need a connector specifically listed AL9CU; don't substitute a CU-only tap on aluminum.
3) Is the Blackburn 31211 UL listed for grounding work?
Yes. The 31211 carries UL file E9809, which is the listing an inspector will look for on a grounding connector in a service or equipment ground bus application.
4) What is a ground bus tap used for versus a standard mechanical lug?
A bus tap like the Blackburn 31211 lands a large copper conductor onto an existing ground bus or bar, rather than terminating onto a single stud or pad the way a mechanical lug does. Use it where you're tapping a 4/0 to 300 kcmil grounding electrode or equipment ground conductor into a bus. If you're terminating to a hole-mount pad, a one- or two-hole compression or mechanical lug is the right part instead.
5) Is the Blackburn 31211 sold individually or in a bag quantity?
It ships each, one connector per unit, so order the exact count of taps your job needs. The part number to specify is Blackburn 31211.
6) Where is the Blackburn 31211 connector made? I need country of origin for a government submittal.
Country of origin on the 31211 is Mexico (MX). That plus the UL E9809 file number is normally what a public-agency or institutional submittal package asks for on a grounding connector.
