Blackburn 6TON76SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn 6TON76SS die do, and what tool does it go in?
The 6TON76SS is a hex crimping die for lug and connector crimping, sized for 6 ton crimping tools. It presses a hex-shaped indent into the barrel of a copper or aluminum lug. It is sold as a single die, one each, so if your tool takes a matched nest and indenter set you order accordingly.
2) Will a 6 ton Blackburn hex die fit my 12 ton crimper?
No. The 6TON76SS is built for 6 ton tooling, and die pockets are sized to the tool's tonnage class. A 12 ton head takes 12 ton dies, not this one. Match the die's tonnage to your crimper before ordering.
3) What does the die code 76H mean on this Blackburn die?
76H is the color/number die code stamped on the die, and it is what you match to the crimp code printed on the lug or connector you are installing. The 6TON76SS is the blue 76H hex die. If your lug barrel calls out a different code, you need the die carrying that code instead.
4) Is the blue color on this Blackburn die part of the color-code system?
Yes. The die is blue, and on color-coded compression systems the die color is matched to the color band or code on the connector so the installer can confirm the right crimp at a glance. Pair the blue 76H die with connectors calling for that code.
5) How is the Blackburn 6TON76SS sold, one die or a pair?
Each. One die per unit, so a crimp head that needs a two-piece set requires you to order the matching mating half separately.
6) When should I use a hex die instead of an indent or circumscribing crimp?
A hex die like the 6TON76SS compresses the lug barrel into a six-sided form, which is what most compression lug and splice manufacturers specify by code for copper and aluminum terminations. Use an indent-style die only where the connector's own instructions call for a point crimp. The controlling rule is the crimp code on the connector, here 76H, not personal preference.
7) What part number do I order for the blue 76H hex die?
Order Blackburn 6TON76SS. That is the manufacturer part number for the 6 ton stainless hex die carrying die code 76H.
8) Is this Blackburn crimping die stainless steel, and does that matter for outdoor or utility work?
It is stainless steel, which is the reason it holds up in a truck-bed tool case and on wet outdoor pulls where a plain steel die will surface-rust and drag in the pocket. Same crimp geometry either way, the material is about service life.
