It provides a guide for proper field use, disassembly and repairs. DESCRIPTION YM Type B Manual Tongs are designed in accordance with API specification 7K and can handle all ‘kinds of pipe torque from light tubing to heavy wall pipe and drill collars. AILBVM Type B manual tongs are precision machined from heat treated alloy ste, with hinge pins made from a special heat treated alloy steel. Interchangable lug jaw design permits each tong to handle different sizes of pipe safely and convieniently. ‘These tongs can be assen tong assembly over. led for either make-up or break-out by removing the hanger and turing the INSTALLATION BVM Type B manual tongs are designed for quick installation and easy operation. To install the manual, tong, the tong support line should be connected to the suspension ring. To prepare the tong for the job at hand, install the right lug jaw to cover the correct size range. Make sure the tong is capable of handling the torque required. For easy tong operation, freely suspend tong up fo the tong support line as close to the center of the rotary table as is convienient. This reduces the are of swing and the distance that the tong ‘must travel to the table, With the jaws open and not in contact with the pipe, balance the tong from lever to latch and from side to side by adjusting the banger adjustment bolts/screw and /or the balancing screw. For best operation the Tong jaw should be about | inch lower than the short jaw. The pull up line must then be ‘connected to the end of the lever. A back up line, sized to safely withstand the tong torque rating, should ‘in all cases be connected to secure safe operation. A BVM tong pull back can be installed to save rig time as it automatically repositions the tong for another take up. OPERATION ‘With the tong positioned and balanced properly, follow four simple steps outlined below: + Grasp safety handle on lug jaw and safety handle on hanger to move the tong into position about the pipe. Press the short jaw firmly around and against the pipe. Pushing both safety handles simultaneously the manula tong will latch automatically. ull both safety handles to break-over the tong and grip the pipe.
