Wire Pulling Lubricant · 1 qt Squeeze Bottle · Clear Polymer Formula · IDEAL Industries 31-388
ClearGlide wire pulling lubricant in a 1 qt squeeze bottle helps reduce friction during cable pulls in conduit and raceway installations. The clear, polymer-based formula is suitable for all cable types and is commonly used where clean application and easy cleanup matter.
What this product is for
This wire pulling lubricant is used to reduce friction when pulling electrical or data cable through conduit, raceways, and bends. The 1 qt (946 mL) squeeze bottle suits service work, smaller pulls, and controlled hand application.
Use for
Use for branch circuit conductors, feeder pulls, communication cable, and general conduit work where a clear, polymer-based lubricant is preferred. It is suitable for all cable types according to distributor and manufacturer product listings.
Avoid for
Avoid using this product as a general-purpose mechanical lubricant or where a cable manufacturer specifies a different pulling compound. For very large or unusually difficult pulls, electricians may compare bottle-applied polymer lubricant with other pulling compounds based on cable size, pull length, and site conditions.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors who want a clear lubricant that applies neatly, clings to cable during the pull, and cleans up more easily than heavier wax-style compounds. It is a practical choice for residential, commercial, and light industrial conduit installations.
Installed in
Typically used on job sites in EMT, PVC, rigid conduit, and other raceway systems during new construction, tenant fit-ups, service upgrades, and retrofit cable pulls.
Why this product exists
Wire pulls through long runs and tight bends can increase tension and raise the risk of jacket or insulation damage. A pulling lubricant helps lower friction so conductors move more smoothly through the raceway. As typical guidance, lubricant selection becomes more important on longer runs, tighter bends, and larger conductor bundles. Actual pulling performance depends on conduit fill, cable type, bend radius, installation method, and local electrical code.
Compared with similar products
Compared with heavier wax-based pulling compounds, this clear polymer formula is commonly chosen where clean handling, controlled squeeze-bottle application, and easier cleanup are priorities. The 1 qt (946 mL) size is also better suited to smaller jobs than bulk pails or drums.
