Blackburn 15508XSS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What crimp tool does the Blackburn 15508XSS die fit?
The 15508XSS is a flex-type die sized for 12 to 14 ton lug crimping tools, so it goes into hydraulic crimpers rated in that tonnage band. It is a die only, not a complete tool, and is sold one at a time.
2) Can I use a 12-14 ton die in a 6 ton or 15 ton crimper?
No. This die is built for the 12 to 14 ton tool platform, and die shanks and nest depths are not interchangeable across tonnage classes. Running it in a lighter tool will not develop a full crimp, and forcing it into a heavier or different-platform head risks damaging both. Order the die cut for your tool's tonnage and die series instead.
3) What does the pink color and code 42X on this Blackburn die mean?
Code 42X is the die index that identifies the conductor size and connector the crimp nest is cut for, and the pink color is the matching color code so a crew can pick the right die out of a set by sight and verify the crimp mark afterward. Match the 42X code to the code called out on the lug or splice you are crimping.
4) Do I get a pair of dies or a single die when I order 15508XSS?
One die per order. The selling unit is each, so if your crimp head takes an upper and lower half you need to confirm what your tool requires and order accordingly.
5) What part number should I give my distributor for this Blackburn flex die?
Blackburn manufacturer part number 15508XSS, described as the 12-14 ton flex die, code 42X, pink. Give the 42X die code alongside the part number if your supplier cross-references by crimp code.
6) Is the Blackburn 15508XSS die stainless steel or is it for stainless connectors?
The SS in 15508XSS designates the flex die series, and the die itself is a hardened crimp die for lug and splice crimping. Selection should be driven by the 42X code matching your connector, not by the connector's material.
7) Is the Blackburn 15508XSS crimping die made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States. That matters on public and institutional work where domestic-origin material is a condition of the contract.
