Reliable Copper Tube Terminal Crimping for Electrical Installations
Copper tube terminal crimping is an important part of electrical cable termination, creating a secure mechanical connection between a conductor and its terminal barrel. The Partex CT1.5-16 uses a four-jaw compression mechanism to apply controlled pressure to compatible copper tube terminals, helping produce consistent crimps when used with correctly selected conductors and terminals.
The integrated ratchet mechanism supports completion of the crimping cycle, while the replaceable high-precision jaws help maintain long-term usability. Designed for standard copper tube terminals from 1.5–16 mm², the CT1.5-16 is particularly suitable for repeated smaller-terminal installations up to 6 mm². Its durable steel construction and ergonomic grips make it a practical tool for switchboard wiring, control panel assembly, industrial equipment maintenance and professional electrical installation.
