Ripley Tools WS 6 Series Replacement Bushing 1.236in-1.260in O.D. :: 12905-1275
The Ripley Tools 12905-1275 is an interchangeable bushing designed specifically for the UtilityTool WS 6 Series cable end stripper, a rugged, all-metal precision tool built to strip XLPE, polyethylene, and EPR insulation from medium-voltage cable without damaging the conductor. This bushing is sized to fit cable outer diameters of 1.236in to 1.260in (31.39-32.00 mm) over insulation or semi-con, and installs into the WS 6 body to preset the cutting blade depth for that specific cable size.
The WS 6 Series is engineered for 15-46kV cable applications, accommodating overall cable diameters from 0.900in to 2.030in (22.86-51.56 mm) across its full bushing range. Because insulation and semi-con diameters vary widely across cable types and manufacturers, Ripley offers bushings in 0.025in increments so linemen and cable splicers can match the exact cable OD for a clean, consistent strip every time.
This bushing is intended for electric utility linemen, cable splicers, and substation technicians who maintain WS 6 stripper kits for underground residential distribution (URD) and medium-voltage cable preparation. Keeping a full set of bushings, including the 12905-1275, on hand ensures the correct size is always available for splicing and termination work across varying cable diameters, helping reduce callbacks and rework from improperly stripped cable ends.
