Ideal 31-375 Wire Pulling Lubricant
This polymer-based gel lubricant reduces friction during cable and wire pulling tasks. It is formulated without additives and comes in a five-gallon blue pail. The product suits electricians and maintenance crews who need reliable lubrication for conduit installations.
Upgrade from basic soaps or wax lubes
Switching to this polymer gel is worthwhile when pulls involve long runs, multiple bends or high-friction conduit where thinner fluids drain away. The gel consistency clings to the jacket and stays in place through the entire pull, cutting tension where lighter lubricants fail.
Check temperature range and material compatibility
Verify that the job site stays between 28 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit, the rated operating window for this formula. Confirm the cable jacket material is compatible with a polymer gel that carries no additives, and ensure a five-gallon pail matches the volume needed for the planned pulls.

Questions about this item
Will the 5 gal pail fit on a standard shelf?
The pail holds 5 gal of gel lubricant; measure your shelf depth and height to confirm it will sit securely.
How do I apply the gel without clogging the conduit?
Coat the cable jacket evenly by hand or brush before feeding; the polymer gel stays in place and reduces friction during the pull.
Does the lubricant degrade if stored between 28 and 180 °F?
The product is rated for use and storage from 28 °F to 180 °F; keep the lid sealed to prevent drying out between jobs.
