Low Price GuaranteeWhat's special about this lubricant?

  • This is the only cable lube that offers a sprayable alternative, allowing for easier application
  • Spray or wipe this high performance cable lubricant onto cables that are being pulled, pushed or blown into conduit
  • USAOffers excellent cling and continues to work even after it has dried, because the residue of the spray is a thin, slippery film that retains lubricity for many months
  • Non-hazardous water-based lube doesn't contain toxic components, so it's user and environment friendly, as well as biodegradable
  • Click for More Features

 

  • Highly concentrated, so you only need to use a thin coating
  • Easy to use and cleanup, plus it's non-staining
  • Ideal to use in industrial electrical, communications, construction and maintenance projects
  • Decreases damage and loss to cables during installation because it reduces friction
  • Industrial sprayers are available for automatic spraying applications
  • Some examples of possible uses are: lubricating fiberglass rods for easier and longer insertions during fishing; spraying holes in wood studs to reduce Romex® wire tension when hand pulling; no-mess underground cable installation by using pressurized spraying; lowering tension when pulling wire into EMT or PVC conduits in traditional buildings
  • Packed for safe use; if properly sealed after opening, the lubricant will have a shelf life of one year
  • Water-based; uses natural and renewable resources, so it minimizes pollution and global warming
  • All defective products will be replaced under the warranty
  • Made in the USA
