No Lube SIMpull THHN building wire eliminates the need for electrical contractors to lubricate feeder-sized THHN to pull it through conduit

No Lube SIMpull THHN building wire eliminates the need for electrical contractors to lubricate feeder-sized THHN to pull it through conduit. The wire incorporates a patent-pending technology to reduce friction and minimize the mess, labor, and cost associated with lubrication. According to the company, the product’s unique design results in a cleaner appearance, easier-to-read print, and reduced susceptibility to nylon tearing. The company also claims that independent tests confirm No Lube SIMpull THHN reduces total installation time by an average of 30%, as well as eliminates equipment needed to apply lubricant. Available in all standard industry colors and sizes 1/0 and larger, the product will be introduced in April in the East and gradually extend West, with completion expected by mid-summer.
