1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers the use of "T"-HEAD 
Crimping Tools 59170, 59250, 59275, 59300, 

69692-1, and 69693-1. See Figure 1. These tools 
crimp:

PIDG* vinyl and nylon terminals and splices on 

stranded copper wire sizes 26 through 14.

STRATO-THERM* terminals on stranded copper 

wire sizes 26 through 14.

PIDG Insulation Restricting Nylon Terminals on 

stranded copper wire sizes 26 through 14.

PIDG insulation restricting terminals with 

TEFLONt coating, used on stranded copper wire 
sizes 26 through 14.

PIDG Radiation Resistant Terminals and Splices 

on stranded copper wire sizes 26 through 14.

PLASTI-GRIP* Terminals on solid or stranded 

copper wire sizes 22 through 14.

PLASTI-GRIP Butt Splices on solid or stranded 

copper wire sizes 26 through 22.

Spare Wire Caps on solid or stranded copper wire 

sizes 22 through 14.

NOTE

i

Dimensions on this sheet are in millimeters [with 

inch equivalent dimensions in brackets]. Figures 

and illustrations are for identification only and are 

not drawn to scale.

Reasons for reissue of this sheet are provided in 
Section 9, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

The handles of the crimping tools are color-coded to 
match the color coding of the product to be applied.

The insulation adjustment indicator is used to control 
crimp height of the insulation barrel. It can be set at 
any of four positions corresponding to insulation 
diameter.

Tools also feature a locator, quick take-up trigger, and 
color code information.

The CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control 
ensures full crimping of the product. Once engaged, 
the ratchet will not release until the handles have been 
FULLY closed.

CAUTION

!

The crimping dies bottom before the ratchet 

releases. This is a design feature that ensures 

maximum electrical and tensile performance of the 

crimp. Do NOT re-adjust the ratchet.

3. COLOR AND DOT CODING

Note that tool handles and terminal, splice and cap 
insulation are color coded for a given wire range as 
listed in Figure 2. Crimp the color coded terminal, 
splice or cap in the matching color coded portion of the 
tool. For example, when using Hand Tool 59275, 
yellow coded PIDG terminals and splices and red 
coded pre-insulated seated splices must be crimped in 
that portion of tool displaying the red and yellow coded 
dots and yellow handle. See Figure 1.
