Blackburn SP5DL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn SP5DL service post connector take?
The SP5DL is a double-conductor service post rated for 1/0 through 2 AWG, and it accepts either stranded or solid conductors in that range. If your grounding electrode conductor or service run falls outside 1/0-2 AWG, you need a different post size.
2) Can I land two conductors in one Blackburn SP5DL, or do I need two posts?
One post handles two conductors. The SP5DL is the double version of the service post, so a single unit takes two 1/0-2 AWG runs, stranded or solid. That is what you want when you are bonding two service or ground conductors at the same point instead of doubling up posts.
3) Is the Blackburn SP5DL UL listed for grounding use?
Yes. The SP5DL carries UL file E9809 as a mechanical grounding device, which is what an inspector will look for on a service grounding or bonding connection.
4) What is the Blackburn SP5DL made of, and will it hold up in a damp service enclosure or direct burial application?
The current-carrying body is bronze, which is the standard material for direct-burial and outdoor grounding connectors because it resists corrosion in contact with copper conductors and soil. There is no insulation on the device, so it is a bare mechanical connector and any required insulation or enclosure has to come from elsewhere in the assembly.
5) I need the exact part number and manufacturer for a submittal on a double service post, 1/0-2 AWG.
Blackburn SP5DL. It is a double service post for 1/0 through 2 AWG stranded or solid conductors, bronze, UL E9809, manufactured in Mexico.
6) Is a service post like the SP5DL the right choice, or should I use a split bolt or a ground rod clamp?
A service post is a mechanical terminal for landing conductors at a fixed point, typically on service equipment or a bonding location, and the SP5DL does two 1/0-2 AWG conductors at once. A split bolt is for tapping or splicing two conductors mid-run with nothing to mount to, and a ground rod clamp is specifically for terminating a conductor on the rod itself. If you are bonding to a rod, buy the rod clamp; if you are terminating runs at a post, this is the part.
7) Is the SP5DL sold individually or in a box quantity?
Sold each. One SP5DL service post per unit, so order by the count of connection points you have rather than by carton.
