AMERICAN POLYWATER WP-128 Gal Wintergrade Polywater® PreLube 2000™ 02786804910 Case OF 4
Polywater® Prelube 2000™ Wintergrade 1-gallon jug (3.8L) Cable Blowing Lubricant
The Lubricant Developed for Blowing Conventional Fiber Optic Cable
Increases Blowing Distance Lowers Friction Easy to Apply Proven, Effective Formula Low Overall Cost Compatible with Cable
Special Microcable Formula
Polywater® Prelube 2000™ reduces frictional drag during the blowing of outside plant cable into duct. It increases the length of cable that can be blown in a single shot. Prelube 2000™ can also be used to blow in the hollow microtubes intended to hold future microcables (use Prelube 5000™ for blowing the microcables themselves). For decades, Prelube 2000™ has been proven in the blowing of tens of thousands of kilometers of cable in over 50 countries on a variety of cable blowing machines.
Features
Polywater® Prelube 2000™ has proven superior to paraffin oils and cable pulling lubricants for cable blowing. The use of this lubricant results in longer installation distances.
Polywater® Prelube 2000™ is recommended by most blowing equipment manufacturers. It increases installation distance on all types of machines.
Polywater® Prelube 2000™ is more economical than prelubricated duct. It is fresh lubrication in the field that is quick and easy.
Polywater® Prelube 2000™ is compatible with common fiber optic cable jackets.
Maximum blowing distance occurs when the frictional force resisting movement equals the blowing force producing movement. The maximum blowing distance varies linearly with friction coefficient in straight conduit sections. The friction reduction shown for Prelube 2000™ can increase installation distance by a factor of 5 or more versus unlubricated duct. More information on these studies is published in our TeleTopics Newsletter Volume #11.
Application: A properly installed duct system with pressure-tight duct splices is an absolute necessity for efficient cable blowing. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions. The duct must be clean, dry, and mandral tested. Clean the duct by blowing a tight-fitting foam sponge through the duct with high pressure. If excess water or dirt comes from the duct, repeat the process. Prelube 2000™ is effective at a coating thickness of 0.5 mg/cm². See our article reprint for additional information on conduit preparation.
For smoothwall duct and high air speed machines (no missile), squeeze the recommended amount of Prelube 2000™ Lubricant from the table below into the duct. Spread the lubricant by blowing a foam carrier through the duct. The quart squeeze bottle (cat# P-35) is a good package for this type of application. Duct Size Lubricant Quantity Lubricant Quantity per 1,000 feet per kilometer 1 inch (2.5 cm) 3 fl. oz. 300 ml 1.25 inch (3 cm) 4 fl. oz. 400 ml 1.5 inch (4 cm) 5 fl. oz. 500 ml 2 inch (5 cm) 6 fl. oz. 600 ml
For smoothwall duct (ID 1 to 1.25 inch) and piston type machines, use 5 to 10 fl oz per thousand feet of duct (0.5 to 1.0 liter per kilometer). Place 75% of the lubricant in front of the missile and the rest behind it. The lubricant is spread by the missile as the cable is blown.
The quantities of lubricant appropriate for any job will vary with the size, type, and condition of the duct. Use the recommendations above as a place to start and adjust as necessary.
Packaging: Polywater® Prelube 2000™ - Winter Grade (for cold weather) has the same characteristics as Regular Grade Polywater® Prelube 2000™ and is specially formulated for use in temperatures as low as -20°F (-30°C). Prelube 5000™ is specially formulated for installation of microcables in microtubes.
