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.

Questions about this item

What crimping tools accept the 12 ton Type U die?

The U38XRT fits hand or power tools rated for 12 ton max crimping force, including hand hydraulic pumps and air ratchet wrenches.

How do I align the die correctly before crimping?

Match the pink die colour code to the connector marking, seat the cable fully in the 535 Flex Kcmil groove, then close the tool in one operation.

When should the die be replaced?

Inspect the crimp profile after each use; replace the die if the groove shows wear, deformation or if crimps no longer meet pull-out specifications.
