Ive used spray teflon-had about 80' of #6 to go through 1" pvc (customer had buried it) to a shed for sub-panel-laid the roll on the ground,sprayed one side,let it dry(just a couple minutes)flip and repeat,pulled it through slick.

Heard a funny thing from a code teacher once at school "Don't use lube that takes up too much room in the pipe then you can fit more wires in." HAHA.

I've used armor all, on some low voltage dc already, haven't had the nerve to try it on anything higher than that.

I am a yellow 77 guy. I absolutely love the smell. Wish I could get that smell for a cologne. Nothing like the smell of 77 first thing in the morning after coffee. I did use this puling lubricant on the last big job I was on and it was nothing short of amazing. Cables flew into conduit. I think they nicknamed it "monkey spunk". Still get a chuckle. I rememeber sending my apprentice up to the LV guys and getting "a cup of monkey spunk".

Yellow 77.
Assuming under-ground installs:
On LOOONNNGGG Pulls (100+ ft), I recommend using the largest pipe practical, usually 2" to 3".
The best thing to do, is dig the trench and lay the pipe yourself, then you'll have less than 360ยบ of bends to contend with and your "targets" will be as close as practical. Let the excavators do it, and who knows what you'll end up with.
In fact, most of my advice centers around:
If ya want the job done right, do it yourself.
