Blackburn 32013TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn 32013TB Locktite lug take?
The 32013TB is rated for conductors from 4/0 through 300 kcmil, which is the range printed on the lug itself as 4/0-300. Each of the three barrels accepts a conductor in that range, so it is a large-feeder lug rather than a branch-circuit connector. If your conductors are smaller than 4/0, you need a different catalog number in the Locktite line.
2) Can I use this Blackburn triple barrel lug on aluminum conductors?
No. The 32013TB is a copper-bodied lug listed for copper (CU) conductors, as called out in the part description. For aluminum or dual-rated runs you need an AL9CU or aluminum-bodied mechanical connector instead. Putting bare aluminum into a copper-only lug is a code and corrosion problem, not just a spec mismatch.
3) Why would I use a triple barrel lug instead of three single lugs?
A triple barrel lug lands three conductors on one pad bolt hole. That is what you use when a panel, switchboard, or transformer pad does not have enough holes for parallel feeders or multiple taps. Three separate single-barrel lugs would need three pad positions. The 32013TB does it in one body, with each barrel taking a 4/0 to 300 kcmil copper conductor.
4) Is the Blackburn 32013TB lug UL listed?
Yes, it carries UL file E9809, which is the listing referenced in its standards data. That matters for inspection on service equipment and panelboard terminations, where an unlisted mechanical connector will get flagged.
5) Is this a mechanical bolted lug or a compression lug that needs a crimp tool?
Mechanical. The 32013TB is a set-screw type Locktite connector, so it installs with a hex or Allen wrench and needs no hydraulic crimper or die set. That is the practical reason crews carry these for field terminations and retrofit work where there is no room or time for compression tooling.
6) Does the Blackburn 32013TB come one per package or in a multi-pack?
It is sold as each, one lug per unit, so order the quantity of terminations you actually have. On a parallel feeder job that usually means one per phase plus neutral per pad.
7) Where is the Blackburn 32013TB lug manufactured?
Manufacturing is in Mexico. Institutional and government buyers working to domestic sourcing requirements should factor that in before specifying it on a Buy American job.
