  • Crimps 4/0 AWG copper with a single die
  • Purple colour code identifies the correct connector size
  • W-style upper and lower die fits YA and YS connectors
  • Compatible with MD6, MD7 and PAT600 crimping tools
  • Rated for 6 ton maximum crimping force

Burndy W28VT Crimping Die

The Burndy W28VT is a W-style upper and lower crimping die set designed for electricians terminating copper connectors. It accepts a single crimping size for 4/0 AWG cable and matches purple colour-coded YA and YS connector types. The die works with Burndy MD6, MD7, PAT600, PATMD and Y500CTHS tools.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

This die set has no moving parts and generates no heat or noise during operation. Power draw depends entirely on the hydraulic or battery tool driving it, with a maximum crimping force rated at 6 ton. Normal use imposes no thermal load on the die itself.

Upgrade Path and Compatibility

The W28VT replaces worn or missing W-style dies for 4/0 AWG copper terminations. It is not suited for installers who need multiple crimp sizes in one die set or who work with aluminium connectors. The jump is worth it when the existing die no longer produces a reliable crimp on purple-coded connectors.

Questions about this item

How do I install the W28VT die set in a 6-ton crimper and which step is often missed?

Align the upper and lower W-style dies with the crimper head, secure the retaining pins, then verify the purple color code faces the operator before each crimp.

What part of the W28VT die set will need replacement after heavy use?

The crimping surfaces on both upper and lower dies wear first; replace the set when the 4/0 AWG connector no longer forms a full, even impression.

What limit appears first when making repeated 4/0 AWG crimps with this die set?

The 6-ton maximum force rating is reached on each cycle; sustained operation at that level will heat the dies and reduce crimp consistency.
