3M 7000006088 Wire Pulling Lubricant Wax 5 Gallon

Product Description

The 3M 7000006088 is a gray, wax-based emulsion wire pulling lubricant engineered for smooth, low-tension cable installation through conduit. It maintains its thick, consistent texture without liquefying or separating in high-heat conditions, rated for use and storage up to 194 degrees F. Its low friction coefficient reduces the pulling force needed on long or complex runs, lowering the risk of insulation or conductor damage. Electricians and wire pulling crews rely on it for both hot-weather and wet-weather applications. Each container holds 5 gallons and ships as a single unit.

This lubricant is suited for commercial and residential electrical installations where wire and cable must be pulled through conduit in demanding conditions. It performs in hot ambient environments and resists washout when conduit pathways are exposed to moisture, having been tested for immersion in water for 30 minutes with minimal weight loss. It applies by scooping directly onto wire or cable, does not run or drip in high temperatures, and wipes off cleanly after the pull to leave minimal residue in the conduit. That clean wipe-off characteristic keeps conduit clear for future pulls or removal without buildup.

Key Features

• Wax-based emulsion formula maintains consistency up to 194 degrees F without liquefying or separating
• Low friction coefficient reduces pulling tension and lowers the risk of conductor or insulation damage
• Withstands water immersion for 30 minutes with minimal weight loss for wet-weather conduit work
• Does not run or drip at elevated temperatures, allowing controlled application in the field
• Wipes off cable quickly and cleanly, leaving minimal residue to block future pulls
• Scoops and applies directly from the pail without additional dispensing equipment

Compatibility

Designed for use with wire and cable being pulled through conduit in both residential and commercial electrical installations. Suitable for hot-weather and wet-weather pulling conditions where standard liquid lubricants may run off or evaporate prematurely.

Installation Notes

This product is typically applied by licensed electricians performing wire and cable pulls in accordance with NEC guidelines. De-energize all circuits in the conduit run before beginning any pull. Apply the lubricant directly to the wire or cable by hand or brush at the conduit entry point. Avoid contact with eyes and skin as indicated by standard product safety practice, and consult the safety data sheet before use.
