Why Choose the Partex PHCT400KIT-COL Hydraulic Crimping Tool?
The Partex PHCT400KIT-COL is a professional hand-operated hydraulic crimping tool kit designed for secure termination of Partex COL copper tube terminals from 16–400 mm². As part of the Partex PHCT hydraulic crimping tool range, it provides the high compression force required for reliable electrical connections in industrial power distribution, switchgear and heavy-duty cable installation applications.
Featuring a two-stage hydraulic pumping system, the PHCT400KIT-COL provides rapid initial die movement followed by powerful compression during the crimping operation. Its 180° rotating crimping head improves accessibility when working in confined installation areas, while the interchangeable hexagonal dies allow the tool to accommodate different conductor sizes.
With a maximum hydraulic pressure of 700 bar and an output force of approximately 11.6 tonnes, this crimping tool is designed for demanding electrical termination work. The kit includes 12 interchangeable hexagonal die sets suitable for Partex COL terminals and is supplied in a robust, impact-resistant carrying case for convenient storage and transportation.

Hydraulic crimping tools such as the Partex PHCT400KIT-COL use hydraulic pressure to compress copper tube terminals around electrical conductors. The resulting hexagonal crimp provides mechanical retention and electrical contact when the correct die, conductor and terminal combination is used. The tool's two-stage hydraulic system enables rapid die advancement before applying the higher force needed to complete the compression.
The PHCT400KIT-COL is specifically configured for the Partex COL copper tube terminal range, making it suitable for professional cable termination work involving conductor sizes up to 400 mm². Its rotating crimping head, interchangeable dies and protective carrying case support efficient installation in industrial electrical systems, power distribution equipment and large cable assemblies.
