Questions & Answers
How long is the tube on the can?
The Klein Tools Cat. No. 51100, Wire Pulling Foam Lubricant, includes a 15-inch application tube, allowing the lubricant to be applied into conduit and other hard-to-reach areas.
I have to pull 3 10 gauge THHN wires and 3 12 gauge THHN wires thru a 1 1/2" schedule 40 conduit with 3 90 turns. Should I spray the wires as I am pulling it or take a rag and spray it and pull it first?
The Klein Tools Cat. No. 51100, Wire Pulling Foam Lubricant, is designed for wire pulling applications and fills the conduit while coating the wires as they are pulled through. For your application, the foam lubricant should be sprayed into the conduit first, and then the wires should be pulled through the lubricated conduit. The foam lubricant stays where it is applied, even in vertical conduit, and provides a no-mess alternative to traditional wax or gel lubricants. For additional application guidance, please refer to the following instructional video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-X-jjrbfw8
Has anyone tried this to pull 18 awg wires through a wall sconce? My concerns are that the nozzle will deliver too much product and that the product could damage the surface finish. Thoughts please?
Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is, The Klein Tools Cat. No. 51100, Wire Pulling Foam Lubricant, is designed to reduce friction when pulling wire through conduit by coating the wire evenly as it is applied. The foam formula helps control application and is intended to stay where it is applied, reducing mess compared to traditional gel or liquid lubricants. It also wipes clean from hands and most surfaces. For finished surfaces, it is recommended to apply carefully and test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
Is there any corrosion problem with exposed aluminum conductors (eg, Aluminum Service Drop Triplex Overhead “Conch” 2, 2, 2 ASCR) in PVC conduit?
The lubricant is water based
What is the storage temperature? Can I keep it in my work van below freezing?
The foam lube will freeze (at about 32 degrees, since the lube inside is water based), and it will be unusable if frozen. However a frozen can will work if it is thawed out.
Can I use this and the clear gel lubricant together at the same time?
Yes
Is this water based, or something else? Is it biodegradable and/or environmentally safe?
It is water based. Please see the SDS document under Additional Resources from the Manufacturer for more information.
I'm pulling ~50 ft of stiff generator cable (10 copper conductors in a jacket about 0.9 inch diameter) through 1-1/2 inch conduit, with bends totaling 315 degrees. How many feet of cable should I pull before injecting another 2 seconds of foam lubricant?
There is no set answer for this question. The lube should be applied as needed.
