Southwire’s SIM Technology® cable products are speeding up installation time, creating a safer work environment and changing the process of how intermediate and feeder size cables are pulled into conduit. Southwire’s NoLube® SIMpull THHN® and SIMpull XHHW-2™ cables don’t require the use of pulling lubricant when pulled into conduit. Southwire guarantees that SIMpull THHN® and SIMpull XHHW-2™ cable will pull into conduit the same way that lubed THHN or XHHW will.

What is the individual pulling capacity of each SIMpull Head®? 

SIMpull Heads® are designed to exceed the pulling capabilities of the wire being pulled.

What is the crimping force required to attached the SIMpull Head®? 

All SIMpull Heads® require 12-tons of compression force to make a complete crimp.

How many crimps are required per SIMpull Head® for installation? 

This is dependent upon the size of SIMpull Heads®. Sizes 8AWG-2AWG require 2 crimps while sizes 1AWG-1000KCMIL require 3 crimps

What size clevises are required with the SIMpull Head®? 

Clevises should be selected based on number of pounds being pulled. Other considerations should include standard or swivel clevises, rope size, conduit size, and number of conductors to be attached to clevis.

Do the SIMpull Head® require the use of a pulling jacket? 

Pulling jackets are not required due to the design of the SIMpull Heads®. With its tapered round head, there is nowhere to snag or get caught during the pull.

Is pulling lubrication required with the use of SIMpull Head®? 

No, pulling lubricant is not required with the use of SIMpull Heads®.

Do the Maxis® conduit adaptors interfere with the use of SIMpull Head®? 

There have been a couple of reported cases of this. Corrections for this requires the removal of the conduit sleeve from conduit adaptor. Only the collar is required during puller set up. This prevents any chance of interference.
