Ideal 31-371 Wire Pulling Lubricant

Ideal 31-371 is a polymer-based gel lubricant supplied in a one-gallon blue pail. It is formulated for electricians and maintenance teams pulling cable or wire through conduit and raceways. The product contains no additives and is rated for use between 28 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. It is sold new and ready for immediate job-site use.

Fits standard pulling workflows

The gel consistency clings to cable jackets during long or vertical runs without dripping off. The one-gallon pail provides enough volume for multiple pulls and reseals between uses. No mixing or dilution is required before application. It works with common hand or powered pulling equipment and leaves no residue that would interfere with later terminations.

Temperature range and handling

The lubricant remains effective from 28 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, covering cold-weather and hot-attic conditions. The polymer base does not separate or degrade across that span. It is non-flammable and produces no fumes during normal pulling operations. Clean-up is completed with water and a cloth.
