Estimated time: 10m
Tools needed:
Protective gloves, Eye protection
Supplies needed:
Wire pulling lubricant
- Prepare for Lubricant Application
Wear protective gloves and eye protection before handling the lubricant. Avoid breathing mist or vapor during application. Wash thoroughly after handling the lubricant to prevent skin irritation or allergic reactions. Contaminated work clothing must not be allowed out of the workplace.
- Apply Lubricant to Approved Cables and Conduits
Apply the wire pulling lubricant to specified cable types including rubber, neoprene, nylon, polyvinylchloride, high density polyethylene, cross-linked polyethylene, and lead covered wire and cable (e.g., Types R, RH, RHH, RHW, T, TW, THW, THHN, THWN, HDPE, XLPE, and XHHW). Use the lubricant in steel, aluminum, and other approved conduits. Do not use this lubricant on asbestos or low density polyethylene insulated cables.
- Ensure Drying Before Energizing Circuits
After applying the lubricant and pulling wires, allow adequate drying time before energizing any circuits. The lubricant is conductive while still wet. Use great care to be certain that wet material does not come in contact with live or energized electrical parts or equipment. Failure to observe this warning may create an electrical shock hazard.
