Cable Lubricant Quantity Chart
Clear Lube
Electrical or
datacom use.
Clear and colorless
for easy cleanup.
Electrical use.
Heavy Duty
lubricant adheres
well to cable
without messy
dripping.
The following equation is a general guideline to determine the amount of cable lubricant
to use for an average cable pull.
Q = 0.0015 x l x D
Where:
Q = Quantity of cable lubricant to use in gallons
L = Length of cable pull in feet
D = Diameter of conduit or duct in inches
If the following situations apply, consider using additional lubricant:
• The cable jacket is hard and/or cable is very stiff.
• The conduit is rough or dirty.
• There are many bends to pull through.
• The percentage of conduit filled by the cable is unusually high.
• The conduit is water filled.
