Blackburn 15505SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn 15505SS die used for?
It's a hex crimping die for compression lugs and connectors, used in a 14 ton crimping tool. The 99H die code is stamped on the die and is what you match to the lug or connector manufacturer's crimp chart, so the code on the die and the code called out for your lug have to agree.
2) Will the 15505SS die fit my crimping tool?
It's built for 14 ton crimpers taking Blackburn/Burndy style SS die sets. Tonnage class has to match: a 14 ton die will not seat correctly in a 6 ton, 12 ton, or 15 ton head. Check the tonnage stamped on your tool head before ordering.
3) How do I know 99H is the right die code for the lug I'm crimping?
The die code comes off the connector, not the wire size alone. Compression lugs and splices are stamped or printed with the die index the manufacturer qualified them for; if that index reads 99H, this die is the one. If it reads anything else, use the die matching that code instead. Crimping with a mismatched die voids the connector's rated performance.
4) Does the pink color on the Blackburn 15505SS mean anything?
Pink is the color code for this die, and on color-coded compression systems the die color is matched to the color band or color code printed on the lug or splice. Pink on the connector means pink on the die. The hex code 99H is the more precise identifier if your lug chart lists codes rather than colors.
5) Is the Blackburn 15505SS sold as a single die or a matched pair?
It is sold each. Most crimping heads take a two piece die set, upper and lower, so if your tool needs both halves you will order the quantity that covers your head.
6) Where is the Blackburn 15505SS hex die made?
Made in the United States. That matters on federal, municipal, and transit jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements for tools and materials.
7) What part number do I give my distributor for this Blackburn die?
Blackburn 15505SS is the manufacturer part number. Quote it with the die code 99H if there is any question, since the code is what an electrician reads off the die face in the field.
