BURNDY U38XRT Type U Crimping Die
The BURNDY U38XRT Type U Crimping Die is a professional tool for crimping electrical wire and cable. It handles both copper and aluminum connectors in a single operation. The pink die is compatible with hand tools and power tools such as hydraulic pumps or air ratchet wrenches. It delivers up to 12 ton of crimping force for secure connections.
535 Flex Kcmil Capacity and 12 Ton Force
This die replaces smaller-capacity dies when working with larger conductors up to 535 Flex Kcmil. The jump is worth it when standard dies cannot accommodate the required wire size or when 12 ton force is needed for reliable crimps. It eliminates the need for multiple crimping steps on thick cables. The 74 in overall length provides reach for various applications.
Electricians and Cable Installers
This tool suits electricians and installers crimping heavy-gauge copper or aluminum cable with Type U equipment. It is not for users needing dies for different crimp profiles or connector series. Buyers requiring higher tonnage or different Kcmil ranges should look at other specifications. The die works with existing hand hydraulic or air-powered tool systems.
