Blackburn BX1114 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Blackburn BX1114 connector be used on aluminum conductors as well as copper?
Yes. The BX1114 is a dual-rated mechanical connector, so it accepts both copper and aluminum conductors. The range marking on it reads 1/0 stranded through 14 for copper and up to 12 for aluminum. Dual-rated is what lets you land an aluminum service conductor and a copper branch or ground in the same connector without a separate AL-only lug.
2) What wire sizes fit the Blackburn BX1114?
Copper conductors from 1/0 stranded down to 14 AWG, and aluminum down to 12 AWG. That range covers everything from a 1/0 feeder or grounding electrode conductor to small 14 AWG branch-circuit and bonding wire in one connector body.
3) Is the BX1114 connector UL listed?
It carries UL file E9809. For an inspector or an MRO spec that requires listed wire connectors, that file number is the reference to cite.
4) Is the BX1114 tin-plated, and does that matter for aluminum wire?
The body is aluminum with a tin-plated surface finish. Tin plating on an aluminum connector is what makes the copper-to-aluminum combination acceptable, since it keeps dissimilar metals from making direct contact at the termination and limits galvanic corrosion.
5) Do I need a crimp tool for the Blackburn BX1114?
No crimping. It is a mechanical connector, so the conductors are clamped under setscrews and installed with a hex or Allen driver torqued to the marking on the body. That makes it the practical choice for field terminations and panel work where you do not want to carry a hydraulic crimper.
6) What is the manufacturer part number and country of origin for this Blackburn rectangular connector?
Part number BX1114, made in Mexico. Distributors and procurement buyers standardizing a connector line should order to BX1114 directly.
7) Is the BX1114 sold individually or in a box?
Sold each, so you order the exact count you need rather than a fixed carton. Handy when you only need a couple of splices on a service change.
