Blackburn 6TON71SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What die code is on the Blackburn 6TON71SS hex die?
Die code 71H is stamped on it. That code is what you match against the connector or lug manufacturer's crimp chart, and it is also what an inspector looks for in the finished hex indent on the barrel. The die is color coded red to match.
2) Will the 6TON71SS die fit my 12-ton crimping head?
No. The 6TON71SS is a 6 ton die, so it seats only in 6 ton tool heads (hand, battery, or hydraulic) that take that die nest. Dies are not interchangeable between tonnage classes, and forcing a 6 ton die into a larger head will not give you a certified crimp. Match the tool's tonnage first, then the 71H code.
3) How do I confirm 71H is the right die for the lug I'm crimping?
Go by the connector, not the wire size alone. Compression lugs and splices are stamped or packaged with the die code required for each conductor size, and the 6TON71SS covers code 71H at 6 ton. If the connector calls for a different code, that die will not produce an approved crimp even though it fits your head.
4) Is this a single die or a full die set?
It is sold as one die, each. If your crimp chart calls out more than one die code for the range of lugs on the job, you order each code separately.
5) What is the Blackburn 6TON71SS actually used for?
It is a lug crimping die. It presses a hex indent into compression connectors and lugs on copper or aluminum conductors, the standard indent geometry for power terminations in panels, switchgear, and service entrances.
6) What is the Blackburn part number for the 6 ton red 71H hex die?
Blackburn 6TON71SS. That is the number to quote for a reorder or to add to a standardized die kit across crews.
7) Is this crimping die stainless steel, and does that matter for outdoor or utility work?
Stainless steel construction, which holds up better than plated carbon steel in a truck box, in a vault, or anywhere the tool sees moisture and salt. For electrical contractors and utility crews who leave dies in the field, that is the practical difference. Made in the United States.
