Blackburn GR58-406 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size ground rod does the Blackburn GR58-406 pigtail connector fit?
The GR58-406 is built for a 5/8 inch ground rod, which is the most common driven rod diameter on residential and commercial services. It is a compression pigtail connector, so the rod barrel is crimped onto the rod rather than bolted.
2) Which crimp die do I need for the Blackburn GR58-406?
It takes the 87H die. If your hydraulic or battery crimper is not set up with an 87H, you cannot make a listed compression on this connector, so budget for the die head along with the connector.
3) Is the Blackburn GR58-406 grounding connector UL listed?
It carries UL E3060 along with CSA 4503 and CSA 2884. That matters on inspected work where the grounding electrode conductor termination has to be a listed connector.
4) Is the GR58-406 pigtail connector copper or aluminum?
Copper. That keeps the termination compatible with copper grounding electrode conductors and avoids a dissimilar metal joint at a driven rod, which is usually buried or in direct earth contact.
5) What is the difference between a pigtail ground rod connector and a standard compression rod connector?
A pigtail type like the GR58-406 comes with a short conductor tail already attached to the rod barrel. You crimp the barrel to the 5/8 inch rod with the 87H die, then splice or land the pigtail on your grounding electrode conductor. A plain compression rod connector instead takes your GEC directly into a second barrel, so you make two crimps on site. Pick the pigtail when the rod is in a hard-to-reach spot and you would rather make the field splice above grade.
6) Are Blackburn GR58-406 connectors sold individually or in a box?
They are sold each, so you order the exact count you need for the rods on the job rather than a fixed carton.
7) Do I order the Blackburn GR58-406 by part number or is there more than one version?
One configuration: order it by MPN GR58-406. There are no finish, size, or length options to specify.
8) Where is the Blackburn GR58-406 made?
Manufactured in Mexico. If your project has domestic sourcing requirements on electrical materials, check that before specifying it.
