Hand Application of Polywater® Cable Pulling Lubricants

"Lubricating Cable by Hand or with Pourable Lubricants" uses field footage to demonstrate the advantages of thick gel lubes such as Dyna-Blue® or Polywater® J in horizontal or vault pulling situations, with emphasis on techniques to ensure thorough coating of the cable and minimization of dripping and wasted lubricant. It also includes tips on prelubrication and friction measurement. The section on pouring explains how applying liquid lubricants such as Polywater® PJ or Polywater® F helps avoid contact with messy lubes, which extends the life of work gloves and is especially appreciated by crews pulling in cold weather. Pouring can also free-up a dry hand that could be used to help guide the cable. The 4-minute video ends with tips on lubricant clean-up.
