Ideal Industries Cable Pulling Lubricant Yellow 77 Plus

Professional-Grade Cable Installation Lubricant

The Ideal Industries Yellow 77 Plus Cable Pulling Lubricant delivers professional-grade lubrication performance for electrical and telecommunications cable installation. This temperature-stable lubricant features Rapid Glide polytetrafluoroethylene additive designed for electricians, telecommunications professionals, and electrical contractors, providing the reliable performance and industry-leading quality that electrical professionals demand for challenging cable pulls.

Professional Features & Benefits

Advanced Lubrication Technology

  • Rapid Glide PTFE Additive - Provides superior lubricity compared to wax-based lubricants for tough cable pulls through conduit
  • Temperature Stable Formula - Remains effective from 32°F to 190°F (0°C to 88°C) for reliable performance in extreme conditions
  • Long-Lasting Adhesion - Clings to cable throughout extended runs, maintaining lubrication even in moisture-present environments
  • Universal Cable Compatibility - Safe for use with all cable types including copper, aluminum, fiber optic, and coaxial cables

Safety & Environmental Compliance

  • Non-Toxic Formula - Environmentally safe composition meets workplace safety requirements for electrical installations
  • Non-Flammable Properties - Safe for use in electrical environments without fire hazard concerns
  • Non-Corrosive Design - Will not damage cable jackets, conduit, or electrical components during installation

Technical Specifications

1-quart squeeze bottle capacity with precision dispensing design. Operating temperature range: 32°F to 190°F (0°C to 88°C). Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) enhanced formula. Non-toxic, non-flammable, non-corrosive composition. Compatible with all standard cable types and conduit materials. Environmentally safe formulation meets OSHA workplace safety standards.

Installation & Setup

  1. Clean conduit entrance and cable pulling area to ensure professional installation results
  2. Apply lubricant generously to cable jacket and conduit entrance using squeeze bottle applicator
  3. Distribute lubricant evenly along cable length for consistent pulling performance
  4. Begin cable pull immediately after application while lubricant maintains optimal viscosity
  5. Reapply as needed during long runs to maintain lubrication effectiveness
  6. Clean excess lubricant from cable ends and connection points after installation completion

Professional Applications

Ideal for:

  • Electrical Installation - Power cable pulls through conduit in commercial and industrial facilities
  • Telecommunications - Data cable installation including Cat5e, Cat6, and fiber optic cable runs
  • Industrial Wiring - Heavy-duty cable pulls in manufacturing and processing facilities
  • Commercial Construction - Multi-story building cable installation through vertical and horizontal conduit runs
  • Residential Electrical - Home wiring projects requiring cable pulls through tight conduit spaces
  • Data Center Installation - High-density cable management and installation in server environments
  • Underground Utilities - Direct burial and conduit cable installation in utility applications
  • Retrofit Projects - Cable replacement and upgrade installations in existing conduit systems

Rapid Glide Technology Advantage

Ideal Industries Rapid Glide PTFE technology provides superior cable pulling performance compared to traditional wax-based lubricants. The advanced polytetrafluoroethylene additive creates an ultra-slippery surface that significantly reduces pulling force requirements, enabling successful installation of multiple cables through challenging conduit runs while preventing cable jacket damage.

Ideal Industries 31-391 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What container sizes does IDEAL Yellow 77 Plus cable pulling lubricant come in?
Three sizes: a 1-quart squeeze bottle (31-398), a 1-gallon bucket (31-391), and a 5-gallon bucket (31-395). The quart squeeze bottle is the one you carry up a ladder for short runs and reapplication mid-pull; the gallon and 5-gallon buckets are for feeding a pull by hand or with a pump on larger conduit runs.
2) Is Yellow 77 Plus safe on fiber optic and coaxial cable jackets?
Yes. Yellow 77 Plus is listed as safe for all cable types including copper, aluminum, fiber optic and coaxial, and the formula is non-corrosive so it won't damage cable jackets, conduit, or electrical components during the pull.
3) Can I use Yellow 77 Plus on a cold winter job site or in a hot attic?
The working range is 32 F to 190 F (0 C to 88 C). That covers a hot mechanical room or attic, but at or below freezing it is outside the stated range, so for sub-freezing outdoor pulls plan to keep the buckets warm until you apply.
4) How is this different from a regular wax-based pulling lubricant?
Yellow 77 Plus carries IDEAL's Rapid Glide PTFE additive rather than relying on wax. The PTFE gives a slipperier film that cuts pulling force, which matters when you're pulling several conductors through long or multi-bend conduit. It also clings to the cable through extended runs and keeps lubricating where moisture is present, where a wax lube tends to wipe off.
5) How much lubricant do I actually need for a long conduit run?
Apply generously to both the cable jacket and the conduit entrance, spread it evenly down the cable, and start pulling right away while the viscosity is still right. On long runs you reapply as you feed, which is why crews on big pulls buy the 5-gallon bucket (31-395) and keep a quart squeeze bottle (31-398) at the feed point for touch-ups.
6) Will Yellow 77 Plus work for low-voltage data cable, not just power feeders?
It's used for both. Telecom and data runs including Cat5e, Cat6 and fiber optic are called out alongside power cable pulls in commercial and industrial conduit, plus underground and direct burial utility work and cable replacement in existing conduit.
7) Do I need to clean anything up after the pull?
Wipe excess lubricant off the cable ends and any connection points once the pull is finished, and clean the conduit entrance before you start. Skipping the end cleanup leaves residue where you're about to terminate.
