Dies

ESCO swaging dies are precision manufactured using premium quality tool steel. Their lightweight, durable design makes them easy to handle and profitable to use. When used properly with ESCO swage fittings, they will deliver long, trouble-free service.

Adapters for Other-Brand Swagers

ESCO makes adapters that allow use of standard ESCO Dies and ESCO swaging systems with other-brand swagers.

Basic Die Block Size

ESCO dies are made in three block sizes:

• 2" x 3-1/2" end dimension. Working Load Limit (WLL) 200 tons jaw pressure. Use on ESCO Mark 75 and Mark 87 Swagers. Weight: 11-16 pounds per set.

• 2-1/2" x 5" end dimension. WLL 500 tons jaw pressure. Use on ESCO Mark 100 and Mark 150 Swagers. Can be used on Mark 200 and Mark 250 swagers with an adapter. Do not exceed 500 ton WLL! Weight 25-40 pounds per set.

• 4" x 7" end dimension. WLL 1200 tons jaw pressure. Use on ESCO Mark 200 and Mark 250 Swagers. Weight 90-134 pounds per set.

Die Wear Guages

ESCO die gauges let you know when dies are worn beyond acceptable limits and can no longer swage fittings as intended, resulting in unacceptable performance of the swaged assembly. Although ESCO dies are made to precise tolerances from special tool steels, normal use will cause wear – the rate of which varies by the fitting type, lubrication use and the volume of fittings put through the dies.

ESCO die gauges provide an easy and accurate way to check the condition of swage dies. Regular checking shows when dies are approaching the time for replacement. Ordering ahead helps eliminate lost production time and maintains high-quality swaged assembly standards.

ESCO die gauges are available for all ESCO open channel dies, tapering dies and ferrule dies, and are available individually or in sets.
