Blackburn SP9DS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use aluminum conductors in the Blackburn SP9DS, or is it copper only?
Copper. The SP9DS service post is specified with copper as the conductor material, so size and land copper only. If your service or grounding electrode run is aluminum, you need a connector rated AL/CU instead.
2) Is the Blackburn SP9DS service post UL listed for an inspected service installation?
It carries UL file E9809 and CSA 6591, which is what an inspector looks for on a service-entrance grounding or bonding connection. Those listings are what let it pass on commercial and institutional work where listed components are required.
3) Will the Blackburn SP9DS handle a #4 or #6 grounding electrode conductor?
No. The SP9DS bottoms out at 1/0 copper, so a #4 or #6 GEC is below its range and won't clamp reliably. For those smaller sizes you need a grounding connector whose stated range covers them; using an oversized port on undersized wire is a failed connection and an inspection callout.
4) What is a service post connector like the Blackburn SP9DS actually used for?
It's a mechanical grounding device, a post-style connector used to terminate and bond service-entrance and grounding conductors at a single point. The SP9DS version accepts two conductors in the 350 kcmil to 1/0 range, so it's the piece you use when a grounding electrode conductor and a bonding jumper both have to land together on one listed connector rather than being spliced.
5) What's the difference between the long and standard Blackburn SP9 service post?
The SP9DS is the long-body version of the two-conductor 350 kcmil to 1/0 service post. The extra body length gives you more room between the two conductor ports, which helps when you're landing two large cables with stiff bends or need separation at a crowded meter socket or service gutter.
6) Is the Blackburn SP9DS sold individually or in a box quantity?
Each. The SP9DS service post is sold as a single unit, so order one per termination point rather than by the carton.
7) Where is the Blackburn SP9DS service post manufactured?
Mexico. That's the stated country of origin for the SP9DS, which matters on public and federally funded work where sourcing has to be documented in the submittal.
