Ideal 31-395 Wire Pulling Lubricant 5 gal

Ideal 31-395 is a water-based cable pulling lubricant supplied in a five-gallon yellow pail. It contains PTFE to reduce friction during long or difficult cable pulls. The product is intended for electricians and contractors who need reliable lubrication for wire installation tasks. This formulation suits professional use where consistent performance is required.

Thermals noise and power draw in normal use

The lubricant remains stable between 32 degrees F and 190 degrees F, so it will not degrade in typical job-site temperatures. As a paste it produces no noise and draws no power during application or while cables are being pulled. Clean-up uses water, avoiding solvents that could add fumes or require special disposal. Workers can handle it without thermal or electrical concerns.

Questions about this item

How do I apply the paste to the wire before pulling it through conduit?

Coat the cable evenly with the PTFE paste by hand or brush, then feed it steadily; the step most installers miss is re-coating after every few metres of pull.

When does the 5 gal pail need to be replaced or topped up?

The lubricant stays effective between 32 Degrees F and 190 Degrees F; replace the pail when the paste dries out, separates, or no longer coats the wire smoothly.
