Blackburn SP0DS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn SP0DS service post take?
The SP0DS short stud service post is rated for No. 12 through No. 8 conductor. Anything larger than 8 AWG needs a different service post; this one will not seat a 6 AWG or bigger ground conductor.
2) Is the Blackburn SP0DS UL listed for grounding and bonding?
It carries UL file E9809. For an electrical inspector on a service entrance or panelboard bond, that listing is the reference to cite.
3) Can the SP0DS service post be used on aluminum conductor?
The SP0DS is specified for copper conductor. If the ground or bond wire on your job is aluminum or you're landing on an aluminum bus, choose a connector rated AL/CU instead of this one.
4) Is the Blackburn SP0DS a mechanical connection or does it need to be crimped or brazed?
It's a mechanical grounding device, so the conductor is captured and tightened with the stud hardware. No crimp tool, no exothermic weld kit, no torch. That's what makes it practical for service entrance and panel bonding work where you need a connection you can inspect and re-terminate later.
5) What's the difference between the short stud SP0DS and a long stud service post?
Stud length is the deciding factor. The SP0DS uses the short stud, which suits a shallow mounting where the post sits close to the surface and you only need enough thread to land the 12 to 8 AWG conductor. If your build-up (insulation, standoff, or stacked lugs) needs more thread projection, a longer stud version of the service post is the one to order.
6) Does the Blackburn SP0DS come in a pack or is it sold one at a time?
Sold individually, each. Count your terminations and order per post, since a typical service or panel job lands more than one.
7) Where is the Blackburn SP0DS made?
Manufactured in Mexico. Worth knowing if you're on a federal, GSA, or Buy American funded project where country of origin has to be documented on the submittal.
