Blackburn PAA4-B1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn PAA4-B1 parallel groove clamp used for?
It's a bolted parallel-groove clamp for joining two conductors side by side in grounding and bonding work. The body is aluminum, and it handles two conductors in a wire or cable compression splice arrangement. Tightening the bolt clamps both runs into the parallel grooves, so no crimp tool is needed.
2) What size is the bolt on the Blackburn PAA4-B1, and what wrench do I need?
The bolt is 3/8 inch with a 9/16 inch head, so a 9/16 inch socket or wrench drives it. Overall the clamp measures 2-7/32 height x 1-3/16 length x 1-1/2 width inches, which matters if you're fitting it inside a ground bar enclosure or a tight pull box.
3) Can I use an aluminum parallel groove clamp on copper conductors?
The PAA4 body is aluminum. Aluminum-bodied connectors are marked by the manufacturer for the conductor materials they're approved for, so match the clamp's own AL/CU marking to the conductors you're joining before you install it. Dissimilar metal contact in a damp or buried location is where aluminum-only hardware causes trouble.
4) Do I need a crimp tool or die set for the Blackburn PAA4 clamp?
No tooling beyond a wrench. This is a mechanical bolted connector, not a compression fitting, so a 9/16 inch wrench on the 3/8 inch bolt makes the connection. That also means it can be loosened and re-terminated if a conductor has to be moved.
5) Does the Blackburn PAA4-B1 come with any insulation or cover?
No. It's a bare bolted aluminum clamp with no insulating material on it. If the splice needs to be insulated, you're covering it in the field with tape, a rubber splice cover, or a heat-shrink boot ordered separately.
6) Is the Blackburn PAA4-B1 sold individually or in a box?
Individually. The PAA4-B1 is the PAA4 packaged in a 1-piece inner-pack bag and sold each, so ordering a quantity of one gets you one clamp rather than a bulk carton. Useful when you're pulling a handful for a service truck instead of stocking a shelf.
7) Where is the Blackburn PAA4-B1 made?
India. That's the stated country of origin for the PAA4-B1, which is the detail institutional and government buyers usually need for domestic-preference paperwork on a bid.
