Crimp Height 1/0
 
I purchased Magnalugs for 1/0 stranded cable

These are heavy wall, copper eyelet/ring lugs with an OD .62"

Can anyone advise the correct crimp height for a hex crimp

I am using a generic 1/0 die in a hydraulic tool

Thanks

I just crimp the fitting until both ends of the die touch.

I crimp it twice as the die i have is really thin.

That is a sound strategy with a known die set.

My dies are Chinese with questionable marking, knowing the correct height I can check with a caliper.

“This lawn supervisor was out on a sprinkler maintenance job and he started working on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ gangly wrench. Just then, this little apprentice leaned over and said, “You can’t work on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ wrench.” Well this infuriated the supervisor, so he went and got Volume 14 of the Kinsley manual, and he reads to him and says, “The Langstrom 7″ wrench can be used with the Findlay sprocket.” Just then, the little apprentice leaned over and said, “It says sprocket not socket!”
