Thomas & Betts 15-236 Wire Pulling Lubricant, Semi-Synthetic, 1 Quart Bottle

The T&B 15-236 is a semi-synthetic wire pulling lubricant in a one quart bottle. It gets applied to conductors and cable jackets before a pull so the run slides through conduit with less tension and less jacket abrasion. It is sold as a general purpose lubricant for electrical installation work, one bottle per order.

One quart bottle per unit. The selling unit of measure is each, so ordering a quantity of four gets you four individual quart bottles rather than a case pack.

Order part number 15-236 from Thomas & Betts (branded T&B). That is the quart bottle of semi-synthetic wire pulling lubricant, UPC 783786152360.

Country of origin on the 15-236 wire lube is the United States. Government, school district, and federally funded jobs that screen for domestic origin on consumables will find that record useful at submittal time.

A quart is a hand size bottle meant for short branch circuit pulls, service calls, and small conduit runs where you only need a few ounces squeezed onto the conductors. Crews doing long feeder or multi-run pulls generally work out of gallon or 5 gallon buckets instead; the 15-236 is the single quart size.

The 15-236 is a semi-synthetic formula, which is the pourable liquid/gel type you pump or squirt onto the conductor as it feeds into the pipe. Wax and soap based compounds are thicker pastes that are usually hand applied and better suited to very heavy cable in large conduit. For typical electrical installation work with a quart bottle on the truck, the semi-synthetic liquid is the one most electricians reach for.
