Burndy U36RT Crimping Die

The Burndy U36RT is a Type U crimping die designed for professional electricians and linesmen who terminate large copper lugs. It connects to compatible hydraulic crimping tools to create secure connections on conductors up to 600 kcmil. The green colour code identifies the correct die for the matching connector size.

12-Ton Tool Interface Limits

This die requires a crimping tool capable of delivering 12 tons of force, restricting its use to specific high-capacity hydraulic models. It fits the PAT46, PAT750, Y35, Y39, Y45, Y46 and Y750 series tools. Operators without access to these 12-ton platforms cannot use this die, and it is not compatible with lower-force hand tools or smaller hydraulic units.

Upgrades From Smaller U-Style Dies

The U36RT replaces smaller U-style dies when a project moves to 600 kcmil copper lugs that exceed the capacity of previous die sizes. The jump is worth it when the connector colour code changes to green and the installation specification calls for the 12-ton crimp profile. It does not suit applications using smaller lugs or different colour-coded connector series.

Questions about this item

Which crimping die should I choose for a 600 kcmil copper lug?

The U36RT die is colour-coded green and rated for 600 kcmil copper lugs, matching the green connector colour code shown in the specifications.

What does the 12-ton crimping force mean when I use this die in my tool?

The die is designed for tools that deliver up to 12 tons of crimping force, so it will form a full 600 kcmil copper connection when paired with a compatible 12-ton crimper.

Which tool series does the U-style die interface with, and what does that limit?

The U-style die fits Burndy PAT46, PAT750, Y35, Y39, Y45, Y46 and Y750 series crimpers, limiting use to those hand or power tools that accept U-style dies.
