Blackburn E-2H-25 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn E-2H-25 split bolt connector take?
The E-2H-25 split bolt is rated for conductors from No. 4 through No. 14 AWG, so it covers the common branch circuit and small feeder range. Run and tap have to fall inside that range; anything heavier than 4 AWG needs a larger split bolt.
2) What material is the E-2H-25 split bolt made from, and can I use it on copper conductors?
Silicon bronze alloy, which is the standard body material for copper-to-copper splices and taps. Bronze split bolts are used with copper conductors; aluminum or copper-to-aluminum work calls for a connector specifically rated for that combination.
3) Does the Blackburn E-2H-25 come with insulation, or do I have to tape the splice?
It is a bare mechanical connector, sold as an each. The splice has to be insulated after you make it, either with tape built back to the conductor insulation level or with a snap-on split bolt cover sized for the connector.
4) Should I use a split bolt like the E-2H-25 or a set-screw / compression tap for a No. 6 tap?
A split bolt is the quick field choice: it is reusable, needs only a wrench, and handles the 4 to 14 AWG copper range. The trade-off is bulk and the need to tape or cover the splice afterward. A compression tap gives a smaller, permanent, pre-insulated joint but needs the right die and crimp tool. For pull-box and gutter taps where space allows and you want to be able to take it apart later, the split bolt is the practical pick.
5) Can I use the Blackburn E-2H-25 for a grounding electrode conductor connection?
It is a UL listed mechanical connector in silicon bronze, the usual combination for copper grounding and bonding taps within its 4 to 14 AWG range. For direct burial or concrete encasement, confirm the connector you use is marked for that environment, since a general purpose split bolt is intended for above-ground, accessible splices.
6) How is the Blackburn E-2H-25 packaged if I'm buying for stock?
Sold individually, one connector per selling unit, so an order quantity is a piece count rather than a carton count. Made in Mexico.
