BURNDY Y1MRKIT Ratcheting Crimper Compression System
The BURNDY Y1MRKIT is a complete compression system centered around a fully mechanical ratcheting crimper. Designed for reliable, repeatable terminations, this hand crimper accommodates copper compression connectors for #8 through #1 AWG code conductors, as well as #8 through #2 AWG Class I flexible strand copper conductors. The kit includes the crimping tool, a rugged metal carrying case, and an initial supply of compatible terminals and splices.
Key Features
- Rotating Die Wheel: Features a color-coded die wheel that rotates to provide an exact match between the die and corresponding color-coded connectors.
- Inspectability: Automatically embosses the die index directly onto the crimped connector to verify a proper crimp post-installation.
- Ratcheting Mechanism: Fully mechanical ratchet ensures a complete crimp cycle before releasing, preventing under-crimped connections.
