Blue Lightning

Our friction reducing coating offers improved wire pulling efficiency!

BLUE LIGHTNING® EMT is internally coated with our patented, UL listed wire pulling compound. This unique lubricant was developed to reduce the wire pulling force and to minimize the propensity of fish tapes and leaders to develop friction with the interior of Penn Aluminum EMT.

This exclusive Penn innovation also offers enhanced electrical insulation and high thermal conductivity properties, helping to dissipate heat quickly. It is also not affected by freezing, thawing or extreme high temperatures, and does not deteriorate or lose lubricity with age.

BLUE LIGHTNING® EMT offers a reliable alternative to those who have wire pulling concerns. We have shipped millions of feet of Penn Aluminum BLUE LIGHTNING® EMT for use on major electrical construction projects throughout the country. A wide range of electrical contractors have used our EMT to gain significant labor efficiencies on large projects.

KEY ATTRIBUTES:

  • Tested and approved by UL under Category ZOKZ for wire pulling compounds
  • Clean, safe and non-staining
  • Temperature stable: can be used from -28°F to 120°F (-33°C to 49°C) and beyond
  • Electrically insulating
  • High thermal conductivity dissipates heat quickly (which is already a key benefit of Penn Aluminum EMT compared to steel EMT)
