Description
Utilux UT#16B
Indeed, the Utilux UT#16B crimper is a ratchet-type tool for uninsulated copper lugs in the CG series, covering conductors from 0.5 to 10mm².
Configuration Details
- Conductor range: 0.5-10mm²
- Overall length: 250mm
- Indent-type crimp
- Ratchet crimping mechanism
- Longer handle reduces crimping effort
- P/N: UT-16B
Because the longer handle reduces the effort needed to complete a crimp, the correct lug choice still depends on matching the CG series lug to the conductor in use. However, that match is not automatic just from having the tool on hand. Therefore, checking the lug size against the 0.5-10mm² range above is recommended before use.
Additionally, the ratchet action prevents the jaws releasing until the crimp cycle completes, giving the Utilux UT#16B crimper a controlled and repeatable termination on CG series lugs. Also, the longer 250mm handle suits regular use where a shorter tool would need more hand force. Furthermore, this dedicated ratchet tool gives a more consistent crimp than a plain indent plier on this lug series, reducing rework on larger jobs.
Applications
Overall, this tool suits:
- Terminating uninsulated CG series copper lugs
- Switchboards and control panel wiring
- Industrial and commercial electrical installations
- General electrical maintenance work
