{"title":"Lubricants \u0026 Compounds","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe compounds and fluids that make a connection last or a job go easier. Oxide inhibiting compound is the one that is not optional: aluminum grows an insulating oxide film the moment it is cut, and a joint compound such as Burndy's Penetrox breaks through that film and seals the connection against it re-forming. Skip it on an aluminum termination and the joint runs hot. Wire pulling lubricants do a different job entirely, cutting the friction of a long conduit run so the pull takes less tension and the jacket arrives undamaged; foam clings to the cable and is easiest to apply in a vertical or overhead run, while gel and polymer concentrates suit the long horizontal pulls where volume matters and a five gallon pail is cheaper per foot. Cutting fluid belongs with taps, dies and hole saws rather than with cable: it carries heat away from the cutting edge and flushes the chip, which is the difference between a tap that lasts and one that snaps in the hole. Premixed two-stroke fuel keeps the ratio right for engine equipment that is used intermittently. Check compatibility with the cable jacket before pulling.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"burndy-oxide-inhibiting-compound-8-oz-cat-no-547405-pena13-8","title":"Burndy Oxide Inhibiting Compound 8 OZ (CAT No. 547405) (PENA13-8)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurndy PENA138 PENETROX A-13 oxide-inhibiting electrical joint compound, 8 oz squeeze bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated for aluminum-to-aluminum, aluminum-to-copper and aluminum conduit thread connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour point of -40 F and dropping point of 350 F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL Listed and EU RoHS compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC 781810592571;
