Why Choose the Partex PHCT240KIT-COL Hydraulic Crimp Tool?
The Partex PHCT240KIT-COL is a professional heavy-duty hydraulic crimping tool kit designed for secure and consistent compression of Partex COL copper tube terminals from 10 mm² to 240 mm². Developed for electrical installers, panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers, this hand-operated hydraulic crimper delivers a maximum output force of 5.2 tonnes, making it suitable for terminating a wide range of copper conductors in demanding electrical applications.
As part of the Partex hydraulic copper tube terminal crimping range, the PHCT240KIT-COL features a two-stage hydraulic system that provides rapid ram advancement at low pressure before delivering the compression force required for crimping. This helps reduce the number of pumping cycles needed during operation. Its 180° rotating crimp head improves accessibility and handling when working in confined electrical installation environments.
Supplied complete with seven interchangeable hexagonal crimping die sets and a robust, impact-resistant carrying case, the PHCT240KIT-COL provides a versatile solution for professional copper cable termination. The included dies cover conductor cross-sections from 10 mm² to 240 mm² and are specifically selected for compatibility with the Partex COL copper tube terminal range.

Reliable Hydraulic Crimping for Copper Cable Terminations
Hydraulic crimping tools are widely used for creating secure mechanical and electrical connections between copper conductors and compression terminals. The Partex PHCT240KIT-COL applies controlled compression through interchangeable hexagonal dies, helping produce consistent crimps when the correct die, conductor and terminal combination is selected.
The tool's two-stage hydraulic mechanism enables rapid initial movement of the crimping ram before applying the higher pressure needed to compress the terminal. Combined with its 180° rotating head, this design supports efficient operation in electrical workshops, control panel manufacturing facilities and on-site installation environments. The supplied COL-specific dies allow technicians to work across a wide range of copper conductor sizes without requiring separate crimping tools for each terminal size.
