Ideal Industries 31-298 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will Aqua-Gel CW cable pulling lubricant still work in freezing winter conditions outdoors?
That is what the CW formula is for. Ideal's Aqua-Gel CW stays stable from -28F to 190F (-33C to 88C), so it keeps working on winter conduit pulls and in direct summer heat without separating or freezing solid. It was formulated specifically for exterior use where a standard indoor pulling gel would stiffen up and stop flowing.
2) What is the difference between Aqua-Gel CW and regular Aqua-Gel II?
Same basic lubricating qualities, different temperature window. Aqua-Gel CW is the cold weather version, optimized for exterior use and stable down to -28F, while Aqua-Gel II is the standard formula. If the pull is indoors or in mild weather, either works; if the conduit and the cable are sitting outside below freezing, the CW formula is the one that still pours and clings.
3) Is the 1-quart squeeze bottle enough for a long underground cable pull, or do I need a bigger container?
The 1-quart squeeze bottle (Ideal model 31-298) is a hand-application size, good for short to moderate runs and for topping off a pull already in progress. It gives you controlled application at the conduit mouth and travels easily in a van or bucket. For long underground or utility-scale runs where you are pouring volume into the duct, order the quantity to match the footage rather than relying on a single quart.
4) Is Aqua-Gel CW safe to use on cable jackets and inside occupied buildings?
The formulation is non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive, so it is safe to handle and will not attack conduit or create a flammability concern on the job. It clings to the cable through long pulls to cut friction and keep the jacket from being scuffed or torn as it drags.
5) Can I pour this lubricant into the conduit, or does it have to be hand applied to the cable?
Both methods work. Aqua-Gel CW is suited to hand application onto the cable as it feeds and to being poured into the duct ahead of the pull, so you can wipe it on for a short run in a building or pour it for an underground duct run. The squeeze bottle gives you the control for the hand method.
6) What is the Ideal part number for the quart of Aqua-Gel CW cold weather pulling lube?
Order Ideal Industries 31-298. That is the 1-quart squeeze bottle of Aqua-Gel CW, the cold weather cable pulling lubricant.
7) What kinds of jobs is Aqua-Gel CW used on?
It is used on outdoor and cold weather electrical installs: underground cable pulling, utility and power distribution runs, telecom infrastructure, industrial facility cable runs and commercial building wiring. Anywhere the duct or the cable is cold enough that a standard pulling gel would thicken up.
