B-Series subsurface safety valve landing nipples

Hydraulic subsurface safety valve landing nipples for standard or heavyweight production tubing

minus

Designed for pressure containment as part of the tubing string

Our versatile B-Series subsurface safety valve landing nipples feature a lock recess, a hydraulic communication port located between the two polished bores, and an integral control line connection port.

They are designed for compatibility with most premium threads and can be used with either API standard-weight or non-API heavyweight production tubing in sweet to severely corrosive environments. A range of nipple bore sizes is available.

Hydraulic landing nipple packoffs are available to protect the polished bores of the nipples. They prevent debris from entering the hydraulic control line during installation or routine service. The nipple packoff seals the polished bore and isolates the hydraulic control line port from wellbore debris.

The B-series hydraulic nipple is installed at the desired location and run with the well completion. It is retrieved when the completion string is pulled.

Working pressures: Up to 10,000 psi [69 MPa]
Operating temperatures: 40 to 300 degF [4 to 149 degC]
