Blackburn 6TON87SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What die code is the Blackburn 6TON87SS hex die, and how do I know it's the right one for my lug?
It's die code 87H. Lug and connector manufacturers stamp or publish the die code required for each barrel size, so you match the code on the connector's crimp chart to the 87H marking on the die, not the wire size. The 6TON87SS is a single hex die set for 6 ton crimping tools, sold as one piece.
2) Will this die fit my 12-ton or 4-ton crimper?
No. The 6TON87SS is rated for 6 ton tools. Dies are tonnage specific, so a 6 ton die does not interchange with 4 ton, 12 ton, or 15 ton crimping heads. Use the die series that matches your tool's rated tonnage.
3) Is the 6TON87SS a complete crimping tool or just the die?
Just the die. It's a hex crimping die that mounts in a 6 ton crimping head, sold individually as one die. You supply the tool, whether that's a manual, hydraulic, or battery 6 ton head.
4) Do hex dies like this make an acceptable crimp on compression lugs and splices?
Yes, hex dies are the standard profile for crimping copper compression lugs and splices, forming a six sided compression that the connector manufacturer specifies by die code. The 6TON87SS is a lug crimping tool die, code 87H, for 6 ton heads. Always crimp to the die code the connector calls out rather than choosing by feel.
5) What part number do I order for the Blackburn 6 ton 87H stainless hex die?
Order Blackburn 6TON87SS. That's the manufacturer part number for the 6 ton stainless steel hex die with die code 87H, in brown, sold one per unit.
6) What is the Blackburn 6TON87SS made of, and will it hold up in a shop van or outdoors?
The die is stainless steel, so it resists the surface rust that plagues plain tool steel dies left in a damp truck box or used outdoors on utility work. It's finished in brown, which is Blackburn's color coding for identifying the die set at a glance in a kit.
7) Where is the Blackburn 6TON87SS die made? We have domestic sourcing requirements.
Country of origin is the United States. For government, utility, or federally funded jobs with domestic preference language, that's the origin on record for this die.
