JTL-12555  Jet-Lube

 SS-30 Pure Copper Anti-Seize  

Jet-Lube

 SS-30 Pure Copper Anti-Seize is the top choice of engineers and technicians in government, industry and leading Amateur 

Radio contest stations, for protecting mechanical assemblies of aluminum tubing, general hardware and copper grounding 
systems. On bonded metal surfaces Jet-Lube

 SS-30 assures electrical and RF conductivity while preventing oxidation 

and corrosion. Surpassing the capabilities of other aluminum anti-oxidants, the wide temperature range of Jet-Lube

 SS-

30 prevents long-term drying and caking, and allows easy disassembly and effortless cleaning of parts. An 
environmentally preferred thread lubricant and conductive termination compound, Jet-Lube

 SS-30 helps keep your 

equipment in serviceable condition. It contains a high concentration of copper flakes, a requirement for heavy loads or 
compression; controlled frictional characteristics allow the surfaces of nuts and bolts to be tightened to their design torque 
specifications. This anti-seize product assures full hydraulic efficiency by allowing the metal surfaces to slide over each 
other without damaging metal-to-metal contact. Jet-Lube

 SS-30 is also designed to work as a similar and dissimilar 

component between two metal surfaces to prevent seizing and galvanic action. The SS-30 compound formula improves 
conductivity and ground continuity - and will not melt in high temperatures.  Features include: 

* Meets MIL-PRF-907E spec 
* K-factor: 0.13 
* Service rating: -65 degrees F (-54 degrees C) to 1800 degrees F (820 degrees C) 
* SS-30 Resistivity (ohm-CM x 108) 5 

* This product is limited to domestic UPS Ground shipping only 

 
 
 

DXE-KIT-DBR - DX Engineering Tube Deburring Tool Kit

 

Designed and manufactured in the USA, DX Engineering Tube Deburring Tools feature hardened steel cutting 
surfaces arranged in a conical shape. Both the interior and exterior of the tool's cone may be used to smooth the rough 
edges of the inside and outside of the cut ends of pipe and tubing. Its rotational symmetry allows easy reaming and 
deburring rough-cut tubing edges with minimum effort. The 

DXE-UT-2125

 is usable on all tubing and pipe sizes 

from 3/8” to 2-1/8” OD.  The 

DXE-UT-3500

 covers sizes from 1-7/8” to 3-1/2” OD. The complete tool kit, model 

DXE-UT-KIT-DBR

, includes both sizes of conical tools, a small hand deburrer and a half round file. DX 

Engineering Tube Deburring Tools are reversible, so they are ideal to debur both ID and OD of aluminum tubing 
prior to telescoping the sections together. These tools assure a smooth fit without galling and seizing that can occur 
with the slightest roughness. Only a couple of revolutions with very light pressure is needed to produce excellent 
results. DX Engineering Tube Deburring Tools may be used to debur tubing and pipe made of aluminum, fiberglass, 
copper, steel, plastic pipe, etc.  

 

 
DXE-STPL - Radial Wire Anchor Pins, 100/pack - No need to bury your radials!

 

DX Engineering Radial Wire Anchor Pins are perfect for fastening radials below the grass line to eliminate the risk of damaging your 
radials during lawn maintenance.

TES-2155 - 3M Temflex™ 2155 Rubber Splicing Tape

.  

  

Conformable self-fusing rubber electrical insulating tape.  It is designed for low voltage electrical insulating and moisture 
sealing applications.  For outdoor use, it should be protected from UV deterioration with an overwrap of 

TES-06132

 

 
 
 

TES-06132 - Scotch® Super 33+

.   

Highly conformable super stretchy tape for all weather applications.  This tape provides flexibility and easy handling for 
all around performance.  It also combines PVC backing with excellent electrical insulating properties to provide primary 
electrical insulation for splices up to 600V and protective jacketing.
