The BURNDY® Y500CT-HS HYPRESS™ connector installation tool provides 6 U.S. Short tons of force in a compact and easy to use, hand-held hydraulic tool. The Y500CT-HS incorporates a specialized latch style head with a generous working stroke for a wide variety of crimping applications.

The head is fitted onto a lightweight tool body with handles that are ergonomically designed to provide slip-free grip and easier crimping. The tool features a patented high speed ram advance mechanism that minimizes crimp cycle time along with an ergonomic trigger drain mechanism that allows the ram to return to the preset position.

Installation applications include #6 AWG to 600 kcmil copper lugs and splices, #6 AWG to 350 AWG aluminum lugs and splices, and up to 4/0 aluminum tap connections. The permanent “D3” groove and 180 degree rotatable head are standard on the Y500CT-HS. Each Y500CT-HS HYPRESS™ tool uses BURNDY® dies and off-the-shelf connectors that are available worldwide. Your Y500CT-HS HYPRESS™ comes equipped with a durable metal carry case to hold the tool and a multitude of die sets.
