Blackburn 15508SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What crimp tool does the Blackburn 15508SS hex die fit?
The 15508SS is a hex crimping die for 12-14 ton lug crimping tools. It is a die set only, not a tool, so it drops into a compatible 12 to 14 ton hydraulic or battery crimper head. Confirm your tool head takes the SS (12-14 ton) die style before ordering.
2) What does the pink color on the Blackburn 15508SS die mean?
Pink is the color code that pairs the die with the matching pink-coded lug or connector. Blackburn 15508SS is die code 42, pink, so it crimps connectors marked with that same code. Matching color and die code is how you get a UL-listed crimp, not by eyeballing the conductor size.
3) Will the 15508SS work in a 6 ton or 15 ton crimper?
No. The 15508SS is built for 12-14 ton tooling. A 6 ton head will not accept it, and dies for other tonnage classes use a different mounting profile. Match the die tonnage class to the tool head.
4) Is the Blackburn 15508SS sold as a pair of dies or a single piece?
It is sold each. For a crimper you need the complete die set for code 42, so check whether your order quantity needs to cover both halves of the nest for your tool.
5) Does the 15508SS make a hex crimp or an indent crimp?
Hex. The die closes a full hexagonal compression around the lug barrel, which is what most utility and commercial power connector specs call for on compression lugs and splices.
6) What is the manufacturer part number and country of origin for this Blackburn hex die?
Blackburn part number 15508SS, made in the United States. Distributors ordering against a spec should reference 15508SS with the code 42 hex, pink designation.
