Ripley UtilityTool WS 6-1500 Bushing 12905-1500 - 1.461"-1.485" Cable OD
The Ripley Tools WS 6-1500 (SKU 12905-1500) is a precision replacement bushing engineered for use with the UtilityTool WS 6 Series Cable End Stripper. This bushing is sized to accommodate cable outer diameters of 1.461in to 1.485in over insulation or semi-con, letting the WS 6 stripper be quickly reconfigured for a different cable size without purchasing an entirely new tool.
The WS 6 Series stripper is a rugged, all-metal precision tool built to strip XLPE, polyethylene, and EPR insulation from primary distribution cable rated 15-46kV, covering overall cable diameters from 0.9in to 2.03in. Interchangeable bushings like this one let a single WS 6 body adapt across the full .675in-2.100in bushing range in .025in increments, while the tool's guarded cutting blade helps protect both the operator and the cable conductor during stripping.
Machined to Ripley's precision tolerances, this bushing ensures a consistent, secure fit inside the WS 6 body for repeatable strip lengths. It's an essential accessory for utility linemen, cable splicers, and electrical contractors who need to match their WS 6 stripper precisely to the cable diameter on the job, reducing the risk of conductor damage and improving splice reliability.
