Blackburn 6TON21SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn 6TON21SS die used for?
The 6TON21SS is a hex crimping die for lug and connector crimping tools. It presses a hex crimp profile into a compression lug or splice, and it is sold one die at a time rather than as a set, so you order each die code your job calls for separately.
2) Will this die work in my 12 ton crimper?
No. The 6TON21SS is built to a 6 ton capacity rating, so it belongs in a 6 ton compression tool head. Dies are tonnage specific, and putting a 6 ton die in a higher tonnage tool risks damaging the die and producing a bad crimp. Match the die tonnage to the tool.
3) What does die code 21 mean on a Blackburn hex die?
Die code 21 is the index stamped on the die that identifies which conductor and lug size the crimp is sized for. Compression lugs are marked with a matching code, so you pick the die whose code matches the code printed on the connector you are crimping. This one is the 6 ton, code 21 hex die, color coded red.
4) Does the 6TON21SS come as a die set or a single die?
Single die, sold each. If you need to crimp several conductor sizes, you will need a separate die for each code, and each must be the 6 ton style to fit the same tool head.
5) What is the manufacturer part number for this red 6 ton hex die?
Blackburn part number 6TON21SS. That is the number to quote when ordering or cross referencing, and it encodes the tonnage (6 ton), the die code (21), and the stainless steel construction.
6) Is the Blackburn 6TON21SS die stainless steel?
Yes, the die body is stainless steel, which holds up better against corrosion in utility vault, outdoor, and wet location work than a plain steel die that sits in a truck box.
