NO DIES REQUIRED – The tool has a 4 way indention. Nibs are always concentric, on fitting. No loose dies to lose or replace.

DOUBLE ACTING – These tools have a low and high pressure valve to enable the tool to close rapidly on low pressure and to exert high pressure at the nib face.

MATERIALS TO CRIMP – Aluminium, Copper or Bimetal fittings, manufactured to suit “Bimetal 4 E” system.

APPLICATION IN TOOL – The Bimetal 4 E system is designed with locating grooves down the length of the fitting to enable the operator to align the tool head.

YELLOW HOT – LINE HANDLES – These handles are made of fibre glass and tested to 40kV DC. The crimping head may also be insulated with rubber.

PRESSURE (OPERATING) – All tools operate at 10, 500 PSI or 700 bar. or 64 kPA. and can be checked by means of a pressure gauge.

OIL – All tolls use hydraulic oil high spin 32.

BY PASS CARTRIDGE – The method of setting the pressure is unique and carries a worldwide patent. Situated externally for easy access.

CARRY CASE – All tools are supplied in a steel carry case for extra protection and safe keeping.
