Questions & Answers
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.
Hi, can Klein wire pulling foam be used to pull high speed fiber optic cable without damaging or affecting the transmission properties of the fiber optic cable? Thanks. Your opinion will be appreciated.
Yes, it leaves very little residue and is very slippery.
Yes
I have to run 3/0 aluminum wire (3 strands) through 420' of conduit. Is this too much for this product?
I think you need more than lubricant for this length and gauge. A spool of 420 linear feet of one 3/0 conductor is heavy. Use the lube, but also use a winch.
No. This is way more than enough.
The Klein Tools Foam Wire Pulling Lubricant is a high performance lubricant. 1 can of the foam lubricant is equivalent to 4 quarts of wax or gel lubricant. There are many variables that affect the ease of wire pulling: length of the run, conduit size, wire size, number of bends, distance between bends, temperature, etc. For your application you may need 2 cans of the Foam Lubricant. Pro tip: Prior to pulling wire through conduit, tie a rag tightly to the end of a line, lubricate the rag and pull it through the conduit run. This helps clear debris/lubricate the conduit and will make it easier to pull wire.
I THINK you may be okay. You may want to get to cans just in case.
What is the foam's workable temperature range?
The range is 40° F to 100° F.
Working Temperature: 40° F to 100° F (4° C to 38° C)
