Burndy W2CVT W-style crimping die
The Burndy W2CVT is a W-style crimping die set designed for electricians and technicians who terminate copper lugs with 6-ton compression tools. It accepts a single crimping size covering 8 to 2 AWG copper cable and uses a brown colour code for quick identification. The upper and lower die halves are supplied as one matched piece.
Compatibility with MD6, MD7 and PAT series tools
This die fits Burndy MD6, MD7, PAT600, PATMD and Y500CTHS compression tools, plus any other 6-ton tool that accepts W-style dies. The direct fit means no adapter is required, so the operator can switch dies and continue working without extra setup steps. The brown colour code on the die matches the connector coding for faster visual confirmation.
For copper lug termination with 6-ton W-style tools
Electricians who regularly crimp 8 to 2 AWG copper lugs on compatible 6-ton equipment will find this die matches their workflow. Buyers who need multiple crimp sizes in one die, or who operate tools outside the 6-ton W-style platform, should look at a different die set.

Questions about this item
Does the W2CVT die require periodic calibration or replacement after repeated crimps?
The die is a hardened steel tool with no calibration schedule; inspect the crimp profile regularly and replace the die if the groove edges show visible wear or deformation.
What is the maximum wire size the die can handle before the 6-ton force limit is reached?
The die is rated for 8 to 2 AWG copper lugs; crimping larger conductors would exceed the 6-ton capacity and risk damaging both the die and the tool.
How much heat does the die generate during continuous crimping cycles?
The die itself produces negligible heat; any temperature rise comes from the hydraulic pump of the compatible MD6, MD7, PAT600, PATMD or Y500CTHS tool during extended use.
