Greenlee 50260960 Dark Cutting/Threading Oil - 1Gal

Greenlee 50260960 is the dark oil. Dark cutting oil is the heavier-duty, higher-sulfur type used on steel and black iron pipe where you want maximum lubricity and die life. Clear or light oil is the one specified for stainless and for potable water lines, where dark oil staining and residue are a problem. If you're threading galvanized or black steel conduit and pipe, dark is the normal choice.

It's a dark threading and cutting oil for pipe threading and metal cutting work. Greenlee describes it as a premium high lubricity oil that makes cutting easier and extends tool life, so it's what you run on threading dies, pipe threaders and cutting tools to keep heat and galling down and stretch die life.

One gallon, listed as 1.000 GAL (3.800 L). That's the jug size an electrical or plumbing crew keeps on the truck to top off a threading machine reservoir rather than a bulk drum for a shop that threads all day.

Both. It's a general threading and cutting oil, so it works poured into a threading machine's oiler reservoir and pump as well as brushed on for hand threading with a ratchet die stock. Same oil either way, it just gets recirculated in the machine.

Order it as Greenlee 50260960. That's the manufacturer part number for the one gallon dark threading and cutting oil, and it's the number to put on a PO so you don't end up with the clear oil or a different container size.

Country of origin on the 50260960 gallon is the US. That matters for jobs with domestic-sourcing requirements on consumables, so it's worth noting on the submittal.
