IDEAL 31-378 LUBRICANT, AQUA, GEL, II, 0.95L (1 piece)

I had 90 feet of cable to slide through conduit. I didn't have the luxury of pulling it, so I had to push it through.On my first dry attempt, I got about 10 feet in before I just couldn't get it any further.I ordered this stuff and kept applying it as I went. This stuff is slick. Literally. I had to figure out how to apply it without using my hands because of I did, I couldn't hold onto anything.Made sliding the cable through much easier.

Used half bottle to pull a bundle of 4 XHHW #4 AWG aluminum wires through 160 feet of 1 1/4" conduit with a full 360 degrees of bends plus the inevitable waviness that comes with PVC that's been basking in the summer sun. Having never pulled wire or worked with something bigger than #12 I was pretty nervous and it was tough going towards the end, but this helped us greatly and cleaned up nicely when the job was done.

The best wire lubricant I have ever used

I am a major DIY’er and an engineer. I’ve pulled quite a bit of wire through ughJ conduit. Was adding power to my workshop behind my house and needed to pull 1/0-1/0-1/0 aluminum wire through 2” buried conduit with multiple bends (of course number of bends is within NEC allowances... NEC only allows 360deg of total bends from point to point, just FYI).I decided that I probably needed the extra help of this pulling soap to be able to do the job, so I bought this.I DEFINITELY COULD NOT have pulled the wire without this lube. It wa still challenging the last 30ft with lube.Pro tips I learned.1. First tie a rag to your pulling rope or string, and heavily lather/soak the rag with the pulling lube, then pull just the rag through the conduit. You tie another string to the rag before you do this pull, because you will re-lube the rag at the exit end and then pull the rag back through the opposite direction. I found pro videos that showed this process and they claim that it reduces pulling friction 40% more than just lubing the wire as you pull it.2. Use the lube liberally on the wire as you pull it. If you are unsure how much you will use, upsize your order and order more of these bottles or order one of the bigger volumes that come in a bucket. Don’t be like me sometimes on projects and try to be cheap and then get made at yourself when you are in thy middle of the job and stuck, the wishing you had ponied up a few extra dollars and been able to finish the job easily (grin). You guys know what I’m taking about...Anyway, loved this stuff. Made a big difference. We used it again this weekend to pull Cat5e Ethernet cable to the shop Theo is h a separate conduit I had buried when doing the power conduit. Worked great.Note: I wore latex gloves to avoid staining my hands (it’s a bright blue color) but got some on my hands anyway. Seemed to wash out okay without staining my skin.

Used to pull three 4ga THHN wires through 1” conduit with 270 degrees of total corners plus 45 ft of conduit. I’d done it without lube and it was really unpleasant work. Did it with this lube and had it pulled all the way through in less than 15 minutes. Went great.
