Blackburn 6TON60SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What die code is stamped on the Blackburn 6TON60SS hex die?
The 6TON60SS carries die code 60H and is color coded Ruby, so you can match it to the 60H position in a crimp chart without pulling it out of the case. It is a hex die for a 6 ton lug crimping tool, sold individually.
2) Will a 6 ton die fit my 12 ton crimping tool?
No. The 6TON60SS is built for 6 ton crimping tools, and die sets are not interchangeable across tonnage classes. If your tool is a 12 ton head, you need dies made for that tonnage and that tool's die seat. Match the tonnage first, then the die code.
3) How do I know which die code to order for the lug I am crimping?
Go by the die index on the lug or splice, not by the wire size alone. Compression connector manufacturers stamp a die code or die index on the barrel, and you select the die that matches it. The Blackburn 6TON60SS is the 60H code in a 6 ton hex die, so it is correct when your connector calls out 60H and your tool is a 6 ton head.
4) Is this die a hex crimp or an indent crimp?
Hex. The 6TON60SS produces a full hex compression crimp, which is the profile used with compression lugs and splices on copper and aluminum conductors. If your lug manufacturer calls for an indent or a point crimp instead, this is the wrong die profile.
5) Does the 6TON60SS come as a matched pair of die halves or one piece?
It is sold as one item, each, under part number 6TON60SS. A single order line gets you the 60H die for a 6 ton tool. If you are building out a full range of conductor sizes, each die code is ordered separately.
6) What is the Blackburn 6TON60SS made of, and will it hold up in a service truck?
Stainless steel construction, which is what you want in a die that lives in a truck box or gets used outdoors, since it resists the surface rust that pits a plain steel die face and transfers marks to the crimp. Made in the United States.
