How to Install Blackburn Aluminum Dual Rated Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing Blackburn Aluminum Dual Rated Connectors with aluminum or copper conductors, including preparation, insertion, and proper torque application.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Wire brush, Torque wrench

Supplies needed:

Blackburn Aluminum Dual Rated Connectors, Blackburn Contax Type CT or Weaver Type CP oxide inhibiting compound, Mounting hardware, Flat washers, Belleville washers

  1. De-energize and Verify Connector Compatibility

    Before beginning, ensure the circuit is de-energized to prevent electrical shock. Verify that the conductor size marked on the connector matches the conductor you are using.

  2. Prepare the Conductor

    Carefully strip the conductor insulation to the length of the connector barrel, taking care to avoid any damage to the conductor strands. Wire brush the conductor thoroughly to remove any oxidation.

  3. Apply Oxide Inhibitor and Insert Conductor

    If using an aluminum conductor, apply Blackburn Contax Type CT or Weaver Type CP oxide inhibiting compound to the wire-brushed conductor. Fully insert the conductor into the connector barrel, then wipe off any excess oxide inhibitor.

  4. Secure the Conductor

    Refer to TABLE 1 for the recommended tightening torque based on the connector's maximum conductor size. Apply the specified torque to the setscrew of the connector to securely fasten the conductor. (Example: 10-14 AWG: 35 In.-Lbs.; 8 AWG: 40 In.-Lbs.; 4-6 AWG: 45 In.-Lbs.; 2/0-14: 50 In.-Lbs.)

  5. Prepare for Mounting

    Prior to mounting the connector, apply Blackburn Contax Type CT or Weaver Type CP oxide inhibiting compound to the flat contact surface of the connector.

  6. Mount the Connector

    Mount the connector using appropriate mounting hardware. Refer to TABLE 2 for recommended tightening torque values based on bolt diameter and material (e.g., 1/4 inch steel bolt: 72 In.-Lbs.). For best practice, use flat and Belleville washers in conjunction with the mounting hardware.
