Blackburn PT-4011-H – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn PT-4011-H wedge connector take on the run and tap?
The PT-4011-H is a 4/0 to 4/0 connection, so both the run conductor and the tap conductor are 4/0 AWG. It will not accommodate a smaller tap size; if your tap conductor is anything other than 4/0, you need a different PowerTap wedge in the series matched to that pairing.
2) Do I need a special tool to install a Blackburn PowerTap Fireon wedge connector?
Yes. Fireon wedge connectors are driven, not bolted: the C-shaped sleeve and wedge are set with the powder-actuated tool made for the PowerTap system. There is no torque spec and no bolt to check, but you cannot install one with hand tools, so budget for the driver tool on the job.
3) Is the Blackburn PT-4011-H aluminum or copper, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The body is aluminum with a bare, unplated finish. Aluminum-bodied wedge taps of this kind are used on aluminum conductors and on aluminum-to-copper combinations when the manufacturer's oxide-inhibiting compound is applied at the connection.
4) Should I use a wedge tap connector or a bolted split-bolt / H-tap for a 4/0 service tap?
A wedge connector like the PT-4011-H makes the connection in one shot with a driving tool, which is why utilities and service crews use them for overhead and service taps where speed and a consistent, torque-free connection matter. A bolted split bolt or a compression H-tap is the better choice when you have no access to the wedge tool, or when the connection needs to be opened and re-made later. The wedge is a permanent connection.
5) How is the PT-4011-H sold, individually or in a box?
It is sold each, one connector per unit, so order one per tap you are making. Country of origin is the United States.
6) What size is the Blackburn PT-4011-H connector body?
Product size is listed as 2 inch. That is the connector body dimension, which matters when you are checking spacing between adjacent taps on the same run or clearance inside a pedestal or enclosure.
