Blackburn SP4SL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn SP4SL service post used for?
The SP4SL is a single-terminal service post, a mechanical grounding connector used to terminate a grounding or bonding conductor at a service entrance. One conductor lands per post, so if you need to bring in multiple grounding electrode or bonding conductors at the same point, you'll want a multi-terminal post or a ground bar instead of stacking them here.
2) Is the Blackburn SP4SL UL listed for grounding?
Yes. The SP4SL carries UL file E9809 as a grounding and bonding device, which is what an inspector looks for on a service ground termination. That listing is the connector itself; the conductor sizes and installation still have to follow the job's approved detail.
3) What material is the Blackburn SP4SL made from, and can it be used with copper conductors?
Bronze. That's the standard conductor-contact alloy for copper grounding work, so the SP4SL pairs with copper grounding and bonding conductors without the dissimilar-metal concerns you get running copper into an aluminum-bodied lug. For aluminum conductors, use a connector rated AL/CU.
4) What is the exact part number to order for the Blackburn single-terminal service post?
Blackburn SP4SL is the manufacturer part number, ordered as a single item. Distributors cross it under the Blackburn grounding and bonding line; the "SL" single-terminal variant is what you specify when only one conductor lands on the post.
5) Is the Blackburn SP4SL insulated?
No, it's a bare mechanical connector with no insulation on the body. That is normal for a service post on a grounding conductor, but it means the post and the conductor landing on it stay exposed, so mount it where that's acceptable and where it won't contact other live parts or a dissimilar metal surface.
6) Is the Blackburn SP4SL sold individually or in a pack?
Each. One SP4SL service post per unit, so order one per conductor termination point. For a panel or service with several grounding conductors coming in, count your terminations and order that many.
7) Where is the Blackburn SP4SL manufactured?
Mexico. That matters if you're submitting a country-of-origin declaration on a government or institutional job, since the SP4SL is not a domestic-origin item.
