Blackburn 6TON42XSS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn 6TON42XSS die actually do?
It's a hex crimping die for compression lugs and connectors, used in a 6 ton crimping tool. The 42X die index is stamped on it and the die is color coded pink so you can pick the right one out of a set on the truck. Material is stainless steel.
2) Will the 6TON42XSS fit my 12 ton or hydraulic crimper?
No. This is a 6 ton die set and it belongs in a 6 ton hex flex crimping head. Dies are rated and dimensioned to the tonnage class of the tool, so a 12 ton head takes 12 ton dies. Match the tool's tonnage before ordering.
3) How do I know I'm getting the right die index for my lug?
Go by the die index code, not the wire size alone. This one is the 42X die, pink coded. Blackburn compression lugs and splices are stamped with the die index required for a proper crimp, so read the stamp on the connector and match it to 42X. If the lug calls out a different index, you need that die instead.
4) Is the 6TON42XSS sold as a pair of dies or a single piece?
It's sold each, one die assembly per order. If you need several index sizes to cover a range of lugs on a job, each index is ordered separately.
5) What is the manufacturer part number to order this die?
Blackburn MPN 6TON42XSS. That single number carries the tonnage class, the 42X die index and the stainless construction, so quoting it avoids the common mix-up between same-index dies built for different tonnage heads.
6) Is the pink color on this Blackburn die just cosmetic?
It's a working feature. Color coding lets a crew grab the correct index fast without reading stamped numbers in a dim electrical room or overhead. Pink corresponds to the 42X index on this die.
7) Will a stainless steel crimp die hold up in outdoor or damp service work?
The 42X die is stainless steel, so it resists the surface rust that plagues plated tool steel dies stored in a damp gang box or used in exterior and wet utility work. It's still a precision die, so keep the hex faces clean of grit between crimps.
