Product summary

Hydraulic Tool Traps are a safety device. Essentially a flapper type valve for tools, they are positioned just above the WLV and can be opened to allow tools to pass into the well.

Hunting hydraulic tool traps are available to suit various working pressures and manufactured to meet client operational needs. There are two main operational types that share common features:

• External visual indication of the tools passing the flapper • Either hydraulic open and spring return or hydraulic open and hydraulic close

The flapper that sits across the bore preventing tools from passing have a large ‘V’ slot to allow wire movement with reduced contact when the flapper is closed.

  • Large ‘V’ slot to prevent cable damage

Benefits
