Greenlee 50260960 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does Greenlee dark threading oil come in, and which part number is which?
Two container sizes. The 1 gallon jug is Greenlee 50260960, and the 1 quart is Greenlee 50282379. Grab the gallon for topping off a threading machine reservoir and the quart for hand threading out of the truck.
2) Can I use Greenlee dark cutting oil in a power pipe threading machine, or is it only for hand threaders?
Both. The dark threading/cutting oil is meant for pipe and conduit threading whether you are running a power drive with a reservoir or a ratchet hand threader, and the gallon container is sized for refilling machine reservoirs as well as feeding hand work.
3) Is dark threading oil right for rigid steel conduit, or do I need a clear oil?
Dark oil is the standard choice for threading black and galvanized rigid steel pipe and conduit, which is exactly what Greenlee formulated the 50260960 for. Clear or light-colored threading oils are what shops reach for on stainless and on potable water lines where staining matters. If your job is RMC or IMC conduit runs, the dark oil is the correct pick.
4) Will Greenlee threading oil work in a Ridgid or other brand threading machine?
Yes. Dark threading/cutting oil is a general-purpose pipe threading lubricant, not keyed to one machine brand, so it runs in any threader with an oil reservoir or pump as well as in hand threading. Match the oil to the material you are cutting rather than to the badge on the machine.
5) Does threading oil actually make a difference to how long my dies last?
That is the point of it. The oil cuts friction and heat between the die and the pipe during thread forming, which protects the cutting edges and the workpiece and produces cleaner, fuller threads. Running dies dry or on a substitute lubricant is how shops burn up die sets and end up with torn threads.
6) How much oil is in the Greenlee 1 gallon threading oil container in liters?
The gallon jug holds 1 gallon, stated as 3.800 liters. That is the larger of the two pack sizes, with a 1 quart bottle offered as the smaller option.
7) Where is Greenlee 50260960 threading oil made?
Country of origin is the United States. For agencies, schools, and other institutional buyers working to domestic sourcing preferences on consumables, that is the value to put on the requisition.
8) Can I use this same oil for cutting and sawing metal, not just threading pipe?
Yes. It is a combined cutting and threading oil, so it supports metal cutting and machining work in addition to pipe and conduit thread forming. Typical use covers conduit fabrication, plumbing and mechanical pipefitting, and general shop tool maintenance.
