Reliable Heavy-Duty Crimping for Industrial Cable Termination
Copper tube terminal crimping is an essential process in electrical power distribution, providing a secure mechanical and electrical connection between a conductor and its terminal. The Partex CT120I uses an indent compression mechanism to deform the barrel of compatible copper tube terminals around the inserted conductor. When the correct crimp size and installation procedure are used, this helps produce a dependable connection suitable for demanding electrical applications.
The CT120I is particularly suited to electrical contractors, industrial maintenance engineers and switchboard manufacturers working with 16–120 mm² copper conductors. Its manually adjustable crimping mechanism allows the operator to select the appropriate setting for different terminal sizes, while the long tubular steel handles provide the leverage needed for heavy-duty compression. The durable jaw construction and practical hand-operated design make it a reliable choice for workshop assembly and on-site electrical installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex CT120I used for?
The Partex CT120I is a heavy-duty manual indent crimping tool designed for compressing compatible copper tube terminals onto copper conductors with cross-sectional areas from 16–120 mm².
What terminal sizes can the Partex CT120I crimp?
The CT120I accommodates copper tube terminals for conductor sizes between 16 mm² and 120 mm². The correct crimping adjustment must be selected for the terminal and conductor being installed.
What type of crimp does the CT120I produce?
The CT120I uses an indent crimping mechanism, which applies localised compression to the copper terminal barrel to form a mechanical and electrical connection with the conductor.
How is the crimp size adjusted on the Partex CT120I?
The tool features a manual screw adjustment mechanism that allows the operator to select the appropriate crimping size for compatible copper tube terminals within its specified capacity.
Which copper tube terminals are compatible with the CT120I?
The Partex CT120I is designed for use with Partex COL and PXL copper tube terminals within the supported 16–120 mm² conductor range.
What materials are used in the Partex CT120I?
The CT120I features SCM440 carbon steel crimping jaws, long tubular steel handles and PVC handle grips for durable construction and comfortable manual operation.
What are the dimensions and weight of the Partex CT120I?
