Pulling Lube Products F - Communications Cable Pulling Lubricant J - High Performance Cable Pulling Lubricant Front End Pack Cable Lubrication System
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Network Loop™ Lube is a liquid lubricant formulated for the unique requirements of network cabling. Network Loop™ Lube is a silicone enhanced, high performance lubricant recommended for use with all types of communication cable, including copper, fiber optic, and coaxial. Network Loop™ Lube is a clean, slow-drying pulling compound that offers superior friction reduction and universal compatibility on all known communication cable types, including low density polyethylene. It coats evenly and clings well to cable. FEATURES
Polywater® Lubricant F is a high performance, pourable liquid lubricant recommended for long, difficult, lightguide cable pulls. It is slow drying and leaves a lubricating film after its waterbase has evaporated. Polywater® Lubricant F will not stress crack low density polyethylene. It is compatible with all types of cable jackets. Polywater® Lubricant WF (winter grade) has the same characteristics as Polywater® Lubricant F and is specially formulated for use in temperatures as low as -20°F (-30°C).
SPECIFICATIONS
Polywater® Lubricant J is a high performance, clean, slow-drying, water-based gel lubricant. Lubricant J provides maximum tension reduction in all types of cable pulling. It is especially recommended for long pulls, multiple-bend pulls and pulls in a hot environment. Lubricant J dries to form a thin lubricating film which retains its lubricity for months after use. Polywater® Lubricant J is a specification-grade lubricant that does not promote flame propagation when used with fire-retardant cables and systems. It is harmless to humans, environmentally safe, compatible with all cable jacket materials, and can be easily applied as part of the unique Polywater® Lubricant Application System. Polywater® Lubricant WJ (winter grade) has the same characteristics as Polywater® Lubricant J and is specially formulated for use in temperatures as low as -20°F (-30°C). Front End Pack™ A conduit-sized polyethylene bag of lubricant. The Front End Pack™ travels through the conduit on the winch line prelubricating the conduit ahead of the cable being pulled.
SPECIFICATIONS
The Polywater® Front End Pack™ is a plastic, lubricant-filled bag. It lubricates ahead of the cable during the pull. It eliminates the need for hand application in many pulls. Proper Front End Pack™ use lubricates far down the conduit where normal lubrication is inadequate. SIZES
QUANTITIES
N = 0.003 x T x L x D
Where: N = Number of packs required
T = 1 for J-55 packs (half-gallon size)
or
2 for J-27 packs (one-quart size)
L = Length of pull in feet
D = Nominal I.D. of conduit in inches
The quantity appropriate for a difficult pull may be up to +50% above this average, depending on conduit fill, conduit type and condition, number of bends, and pulling environment. GENERAL USE
 2) For pulls requiring multiple Front End Packs™, the packs should be attached to the winch rope in tandem.  3) Start the pull and slit open the entire length of the pack(s) with a sharp knife just as each pack enters the conduit.  4) The opened Front End Packs™ will deposit Polywater® J Lubricant in front of the cable as it is pulled through the conduit.  5) Throw away the empty Front End Pack™ bags at the end of the pull.  OPTIONAL USE METHOD
2) Slide the Front End Pack™ into the conduit (open end first) in front of the cable.  3) Cut the back end wide open. 4) Repeat with as many Front End Packs™ as needed. 5) Start the pull. The advancing cable will push the Front End Packs™ through the conduit.  LONGER PULLS
Front End Packs™ may be used for direct lubrication by poking a hole in the pack and squeezing lubricant directly onto the moving cable. Another good method for longer pulls is to prelube the conduit from the pulling end as the winch rope is pulled in from that end. The bags are attached to the rope as described above. This lubricates the end of the cable pull. ADVANTAGES
Easier Pulls. Superior lubrication occurs because the Front End Pack™ delivers lube far into long conduit runs where friction reduction is most needed and most often missed. Controlled Lubricant Usage. Measured quantities of lube can be used for the pull, not the variable usage typical of hand application. Plus, all lubricant is in the conduit and functioning. Less Mess. It's no longer necessary to hand dip and slop lubricant all over the floor, junction box, or pulling crew. It's in the conduit where it belongs. Proven System. Front End Packs™ have been used successfully on tens of thousands of pulls for over fifteen years. Many large utilities use nothing else. Economical. Convenience and reduction of waste combine to make this package a money saver. |
