Blackburn ADR35-38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the difference between the Blackburn ADR35-38 and the standard ADR35?
The ADR35-38 is the same connector as the ADR35 but built with a 3/8 inch screw. Everything else about the body is unchanged, so if a drawing or an existing run calls for the 3/8 screw size, the -38 suffix is the part you order.
2) Can I use the Blackburn ADR35-38 connector on both copper and aluminum conductors?
Yes. The ADR35-38 is a dual-rated mechanical connector, which is the designation for AL9CU service on both aluminum and copper conductors. The body is aluminum with a tin plated finish, which is what allows it to be landed on copper without a dissimilar-metal problem.
3) Does the Blackburn ADR35-38 come insulated, or do I need to tape or boot it?
It ships bare. The insulation material on the ADR35-38 is listed as none, so the connection has to be insulated in the field with tape, a heat shrink sleeve, or a snap-on cover sized to the connector.
4) What part number and UPC should I give my distributor for the Blackburn 3/8 screw dual-rated connector?
Order it as Blackburn ADR35-38, UPC 783786301379. Country of origin is Mexico, which is the detail that usually gets asked for on government and institutional submittals.
5) Should I use a mechanical connector like the ADR35-38 or a compression connector?
A mechanical connector such as the ADR35-38 is tightened with a screw, so it can be installed with hand tools, adjusted, and taken apart later, which suits panel and gutter work and maintenance splices. A compression connector needs a die and a crimp tool and is permanent once made. If the job calls for a re-enterable termination or you do not want to carry a crimper, the mechanical connector is the one to use.
6) Is the Blackburn ADR35-38 sold individually or in a bag?
Each. The ADR35-38 mechanical connector is sold as a single piece, so order one per splice or tap you are making rather than by the bag.
