Crimping Die for 2–4/0 AWG Copper

This Burndy W27VT die set crimps stranded copper lugs from 2 to 4/0 AWG. It is built for electricians and line crews who need a single orange-coded W-style die for YA and YS connectors. The upper and lower halves arrive as one matched pair.

Tool Compatibility and Common Issues

The die fits Burndy MD6, MD7, PAT600, PATMD and Y500CTHS tools that accept W-style dies. Maximum rated force is 6 ton. The most frequent problem is using the die on aluminium connectors or wire sizes outside the 2–4/0 AWG range, which damages the profile.

Suited for Dedicated Copper Lug Work

Electricians who only terminate copper lugs in the specified size range will find this die efficient. It is not for users who need multiple crimp sizes in one set, who work with aluminium connectors, or whose tools do not accept W-style dies.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the W27VT die is crimping correctly after installing it on my MD6 tool?

After setup, verify each crimp shows the orange colour code imprint and that the lug seats fully on 2 to 4/0 AWG stranded copper cable.

What comes with the W27VT and what must I supply separately?

The package contains one upper and one lower W-style die; you must provide a compatible 6-ton tool such as the MD6, MD7, PAT600, PATMD or Y500CTHS.

Which version of the W27VT should I choose for 4/0 AWG copper lugs?

Select the orange-coded W27VT — it is the single size rated for 2 to 4/0 AWG stranded copper connectors.
