4. Dri-Slide lubricant
Use of S135 Dri-Slide lubricant is essential when jointing large sized fittings. The pressing profile groove of the sling
jaws should be cleaned and lightly lubricated after every 50 joints for 42mm to 76.1mm sizes, and every 5 joints for
108mm. Dri-Slide should also be applied between the main sling arms and the moving segments; and along the pivot
pins between the arms. Wipe clean any excess lubricant so that it does not come into contact with the fitting "O" ring.
5. press the joint:
Mount the jaws/sling jaws over the bead at the mouth of the fitting. With the tool fully supported and not hanging
from the pipework, and with your hands safely away from the joint, press the trigger or button to start the jointing
cycle. When the jaws/sling jaws fully enclose the mouth of the fitting, the joint is complete. The jaw should then be
released from around the fitting.
15 to 35mm
note:
• the 108mm joint is not fully made until the
fitting has been through two pressing
operations (Novopress only)
• maintain a 90° angle between the tube and
jaws at all times, this is to ensure the integrity
of the joint as well as protect the operator from

• jaws for copper and steel differ at 108mm when pressing the sling
stays in place and a second pressing operation is required
