Blackburn 31309 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn 31309 Locktite pigtail connector take?
The 31309 is the 6-4 pigtail connector, so it's made up for 6 AWG through 4 AWG copper conductors. That size range is what the "6-4" in the part designation refers to, and it is the only range this model covers. For anything outside 6-4 you need a different Locktite pigtail model.
2) Is the Blackburn 31309 connector UL listed?
Yes. The 31309 Locktite pigtail connector carries UL file E9809. If your inspector or spec calls for a listed mechanical connector on the grounding or bonding run, the UL file number is what you cite.
3) Can I use the Blackburn 31309 pigtail connector on aluminum conductors?
No. The 31309 is a copper-bodied, copper-only (CU) connector. Running aluminum into a CU-rated mechanical connector is a dissimilar-metal problem and is outside what this part is listed for. For aluminum or mixed runs you need a connector marked AL9CU or dual-rated.
4) What is a pigtail connector used for versus a straight splice connector?
A pigtail connector terminates a run and brings out a short tail lead, so you land the tail where the splice or lug goes rather than trying to bend the full conductor into position. A straight mechanical splice connector simply joins two conductors end to end and gives you no tail. Pick the pigtail style, like the 31309, when you need a short flexible take-off from a heavier 6-4 copper conductor; pick a splice or tap connector when you are joining or branching in line.
5) Does the Blackburn 31309 require a crimping tool?
No crimp tool needed. This is a mechanical connector, so it is made up with a setscrew or bolt using hand tools rather than a hydraulic or battery crimper. That is the practical reason maintenance crews and electricians reach for the Locktite mechanical line on service and repair work where a die set is not on the truck.
6) Is the Blackburn 31309 sold individually or in a bag?
It ships as an each, so one connector per unit of measure. Order the count you need per opening or per panel rather than buying by the box.
7) Do you have the manufacturer part number and country of origin for the Blackburn 6-4 Locktite pigtail?
Manufacturer part number is 31309 under the Blackburn brand, and it is manufactured in Mexico. Those are the two details a distributor or a government buyer with domestic-preference questions usually needs on the quote.
