54 the extreme liquid consistency of tube-lube® 326 sg 1.04 minimizes viscous friction and allows it to be easily pumped or sprayed in fact one of the big attractions of this product is its ease of application dcd offers several different ways to apply the lubricant right onto the cable a manually pressurized manual applicator kit a manually pressurized spray tank with a pressure gauge allows the user to monitor the amount of lube being sprayed onto the cable via the included hand-held wand or any of dcd s products fitted with a quick connect spray nozzle different pressures allow different volumes a manual shut-off valve leads to a quick disconnect coupling a 20 long clear hose is included with the applicator with quick disconnect couplings at each end this allows the applicator and operator to remain outside the manhole while the connection to the duct is up to 20 away a battery operated back pack power-spraytm applicator kit this unit holds a little over 4 gallons and can be carried on the operator s back a 4 speed pump controls the volume of lube applied the pump is operated by a re-chargeable battery with about 8 hours usage time the unit comes complete with re-charger and a spare battery the outlet hose also leads to a quick disconnect coupling a 20 long clear hose is included with the applicator with quick disconnect couplings at each end this allows the applicator and operator to remain outside the manhole while the connection to the duct is up to 20 away semi-clear tank allows visibility of the lube level web site www.dcddesign.com the applicators part no 35100-000 35100-002 35100-040 35100-050 35100-051 description manual applicator kit c/w 20 hose assembly power-spraytm applicator kit c/w 20 hose assembly battery charger hose assembly 20 long battery pack for power-spraytm battery wall charger for weight 19 lb 16.4 lb 1.57 lb 6.14 lb 0.30 lb power-spraytm in both above cases the exit hose disconnect coupling and 20 long hose can attach to any of several other dcd products the duct entry guide 32500 series this product fits right into the duct opening and has a roller that the cable must pass over the unit is fitted with a spray nozzle that when hooked up places the lubricant right onto the cable as it passes under the nozzle the flexible guides 32600 series this product attaches to duct entry adaptors and these parts also have a spray nozzle to apply the lubricant right onto the cable as it enters the duct the split entry bells 32550 series these are a cable entry guide that can be removed easily after installation and are also available with a spray nozzle such that again the lube can be sprayed right onto the cable finally a manual spray wand is included with both types of applicator kits so that the hose may be connected to the spray wand and then applied onto the cable drum itself or any other point in the cable travel before entering the duct cable pulling lubricants toll free 1-888-swivels 794-8357 tel 604-232-4445 fax 604-232-4446 e-mail sales@dcddesign.com

55 web site www.dcddesign.com tube-lube® 326 summary one of the biggest problems facing cable crews is proper lubrication of the cable many people do not realize the significance of reducing the friction during the pull but without proper lubrication the cable can easily be damaged by over stressing and the time and effort required to complete the installation can grow significantly there is often a reluctance to use lubricants because of the mess the difficulty in applying the lube and time it takes to clean up afterwards another issue is knowing which lubricant to use some suppliers offer winter and summer grades fiber or power grades products to loosen the lube as it dries products to clean up the lube and so on you almost need to be a chemist to know what you should be using and when tube-lube® 326 eliminates all of those problems as well as solving the difficulties in the pull one lubricant all year round no mess to clean up proven lubricity lower usage lower pulling forces a choice of packaging and a choice of application methods the entire package described in these pages is the simple answer for the installation crews who have to use lubricant in the field for supervisors that have tried everything to increase efficiency for purchasing managers trying to meet budgets and for the engineers protecting the quality of the installations tube-lube® 326 is easy and clean to use reduces friction and pull loads is available in many different packages to suit all budgets and meets all the required ieee and astm standards it is even friendly for our environment and the user dcd believes that no other single product can make these claims toll free 1-888-swivels 794-8357 tel 604-232-4445 fax 604-232-4446 e-mail sales@dcddesign.com tube-lube® 336 35200 series this product is specifically designed for cable blowing applications and although the tube-lube® 326 is an all purpose lubricant and quite suitable for cable blowing there are those that will insist on using a more traditional type of lubricant the tube-lube® 336 fits that bill available in single quart containers or 1 gallon pails tube-lube® 336 is compatible with all cable jackets and all types of ducting the product is used to pre-lubricate the ducting before installing the cable the tubelube® 336 is first poured into the end of the duct then a dcd foam bird 58230 series can be blown through the conduit pushing the lubricant ahead of it and spreading the lubricant around the wall of the duct normal usage for this is approximately 1 quart for 6000 ft of conduit additional lubricant should be placed in front and behind the cable carrier to ensure sufficient lubricant for the entire operation normal usage is approximately 1/2 quart in front and 1 quart behind the cable carrier for 6000 ft of conduit this product can be used in temperatures between 14 and 120 degrees f part no 35200-002 35200-010 35200-410 description 1 quart container 12 per case 1 gallon container 1 gallon container 4 per case weight 28 lb 8 lb 34 lb cable pulling lubricants
