New hydraulic crimping tool

FCI-Burndy Products introduces its new Y81KFT 4-Point dieless Hypress hand-operated hydraulic crimping tool. The Y81KFT incorporates a latchless flip-top style head that provides easy tool removal from continuous conductor runs, while eliminating the need to purchase and maintain dies.

The Y81KFT is ideally suited for use on copper, aluminum, compressed, compact, stranded, solid and flex conductors. Delivering 6 tons of crimping force, yet weighing just 12 pounds, the ergonomically sound Y81KFT delivers incredibly easy termination and splicing. Also, the Y81KFT's head rotates 360° relative to the handles and is mated to a patented rapid advance pump.

FCI-Burndy's Y81KFT comes complete with a molded, high-impact plastic case and a 5-year limited warranty. This crimping tool is UL Listed and CSA certified with range taking capabilities when used in conjunction with Burndy Hylug and Hylink terminals and splices. Other advanced features include: an audible pressure 'pop-off' valve and die embossment providing 360° inspectability, and a convenient ram release located in the handle.

FCI-Burndy Products is a connector manufacturer and provider of reliable connection systems and solutions to the telecommunications, data, industrial and instrumentation, energy, automotive, and military/aerospace industries.
