Blackburn 50175BB-C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Blackburn 50175BB-C silicone bronze hex bolt?
It's a 1/2 inch diameter bolt with a 1-3/4 inch length, hex head. That combination is the common hardware size for grounding and bonding connectors that call for a 1/2 inch bolt through a lug pad or clamp body.
2) Why use a silicon bronze bolt instead of a plain steel or stainless bolt on a grounding connection?
The 50175BB-C is made of silicon bronze, which is the material electrical grounding and bonding hardware is normally specified in because it stays conductive and resists galvanic corrosion when bolted to copper bus, copper lugs, and bronze clamps. A plated steel bolt in the same joint corrodes at the dissimilar metal contact and adds resistance over time. Bronze is also what inspectors expect to see on a ground connection in a damp or buried location.
3) Is the Blackburn 50175BB-C sold as a single bolt or in a box?
It is sold each, one bolt per unit, under part number 50175BB-C. If you're bolting up multiple ground connections, order the count you need rather than expecting a bagged quantity.
4) Will a 1-3/4 inch bolt be long enough for my ground clamp?
At 1-3/4 inches of length under the head, the 50175BB-C covers a stack up to roughly an inch and a half of clamp body, lug pad, and washers with enough thread left for the nut. Measure your actual stack: a bolt that bottoms out before the nut pulls tight, or one that leaves only a thread or two engaged, is the usual reason a bronze ground bolt gets swapped on site.
5) What size wrench or socket do I need for this 1/2 inch bronze hex bolt?
It's a hexagonal head on a 1/2 inch diameter bolt, so a standard 3/4 inch socket or wrench fits the head on a typical 1/2-13 hex bolt. Bronze is softer than steel, so snug it rather than leaning on it with an impact.
6) Where is the Blackburn 50175BB-C bolt made?
Country of origin is Taiwan. Worth knowing if you're bidding public work with domestic-sourcing language on the spec.
