1 INTRODUCTION
The "Combi" BOP is designed to accept Rams that combine the function of two Rams. This can be either the
combination of Shear and Seal (Blind), or Pipe and Slip. The most obvious benefit is the reduced height and weight of
a Combi BOP. The second advantage is with the Shear/Seal Rams, pipe can be cut and the Rams closed as blind,
without the need to move the pipe. After the Pipe is cut, continued travel of the Shear Blade moves the cut portion
up and out of the way of the Seal. Combi BOPs are available as Single, Double, or any multiple.
1.1 Features
• HYDRAULIC OPERATION
Hydraulic system is fully operational at 2,200 psi, however is designed and tested to 3,000 psi.
• EASY MAINTENANCE
No special handling tools required, the BOP breaks down into manageable units.
• NO WELDS
Side Port Flange (optional) integral to BOP Body.
• MANUAL LOCKS
Manual Locking Stems are non-rising; therefore, there are no threads exposed to become
dirty or bent.
• SHEAR/SEAL RAMS
Shear/Seal Rams cut the coil tubing leaving a clean end for circulating fluids or easy
fishing, as well as providing a Blind Seal.
• PIPE/SLIP RAMS
Pipe/Slip Rams have replaceable Inserts to renew the teeth without the need to replace
the entire Ram, as well as providing a Pipe Seal.
All BOPs are hydrostatic and function tested per API Spec 6A.

Visually inspect shear blades for damage1. TOT recommends maximum of
three cuts prior to shear blade replacement.
Slip inserts are surface hardened during the manufacturing process and must
be inspected frequently. The teeth should be sharp. If the crest of the tooth
has a flat area of .02”, that is too much. Of course, some areas of the slip
insert may have teeth that are dull. If 25% of the teeth have flat areas, then
the slip must be replaced. The outer edges of the slip inserts will normally
wear first.
Ram Assembly
After one (1) year the unit should be inspected. Open the ram bores and
inspect the rams/bores for any corrosion. Install the rams and cycle the rams
close and open five (5) times. Cycling the rams will energize the seals that
tend to become flat when in storage. This must be performed before BOP is
put into service.

5 OPERATIONS
Test all hydraulic functions, open and close each set of Rams.
Pressure test the complete hook-up; BOP and all connections before starting the job.
Start with all Rams in the "open position". This will make it easier to remove the Ram from the bore of the BOP,
and with the Ram retracted into the Bonnet, it will not accidentally fall off as you handle the sub-assembly.
Loosen all Cap Nuts (47), and Cap Screws (46) on each Bonnet approximately 1/4 turn. Remove the Cap Nuts and
install the Ram Change Rods (48). Remove the Cap Screws.
With the Ram Change Rods in place to support the Bonnet/Actuator Assembly and Ram, pull the
sub-assembly away from the Body (1). Do not use a pry bar as it will damage the Bonnet or BOP sealing surface.
Rotate the Manual Lock right-hand to move the Ram out of the Bonnet. Take care that the Ram does not slide off
of the Guide. Rotate the Manual Lock left-hand to return it to the open position.
Note: This does not pull the Piston back to the open position, but will permit the hydraulic pressure to retract the
Ram during re-assembly. If the BOP was not serviced after the last job, and a Ram is stuck, the following
alternative will aid in disassembly. Apply hydraulic pressure to "open" position, this will retract the Ram partially
into the Bonnet. This will permit application of hydraulic pressure even as the Bonnet moves away from the BOP
Body, when hydraulic pressure is applied to the "closed" position. When the Bonnet Assembly has moved away
from the BOP Body, place wood blocks between the Bonnet and Body. Take care, not to damage the seal
surfaces. Apply hydraulic pressure to "open" position, retracting the Ram out of the Body.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: While performing maintenance activities, note the orientation of any seals
removed and assure that seal is re-installed in the appropriate direction.
The Bonnet sub-assembly can be serviced while in position on the Ram Change Rods, or removed and held in a
vise. Push the Piston Rod (4), into the fully retracted position. Remove Nut (23), Handle (22), and Retainer Ring
(24), remove Hydraulic Cap (18). Caution! Do not attempt to remove the Hydraulic Cap by turning the
Handwheel. The torque will force the Keys (15) out against the threads in the Cylinder and can damage the
threads. As the Hydraulic Cap is removed, the Indicator Rod (26) may remain attached to the Piston. Take care
that you do not bend the Indicator or damage the Piston or Cylinder. Remove the Indicator Rod.
Remove the Keys (15) and push the Stem assembly out of the Hydraulic Cap. The Seal (25) can now be removed.
Take care, do not scratch the sealing surface. To remove the Indicator Seal (27), remove the Retainer (28) using a
1/4" Allen Wrench. Take care in removing the Seal, do not scratch the seal surface. Remove O-Ring on Hydraulic
Cap.
The Shear/Seal Actuator has an additional Bushing (16) between the Cylinder and Hydraulic Cap. Remove this
Bushing and Bonnet O-Ring (9). Remove the Cylinder (12) and O-Ring (9).
Caution: The configuration of the Piston and Piston Rod is slightly different between sets of Actuators for
different functioning Rams.
Shear/Seal Actuator: Remove the Set Screw (44) with a 1/4 Allen Wrench. Remove the Piston (13) from the Piston
Rod (4) using the spanner wrench holes provided in the piston. Do not scratch the seal surface of the Piston.

Install Shear/Seal Piston Rod (4), with Ram Guide (5), or Pipe/Slip Piston Rod (4) with Ram Guide(5), Rocker(49),
and Locking Pins(42). Install O-Ring (34), on Pipe/Slip Piston Rod and install Piston (13) using the spanner wrench
holes provided.
The Set Screw (44) must be installed on the Shear/Seal Piston Rod, you will need a 1/4" Allen Wrench.
Install the Piston Keeper (32) on the Pipe/Slip Piston Rod(4). The Piston Keeper is held in place with the Button
Head Screw (33). A 5/32" Allen Wrench is Required.
Install the O-Ring(14) on the Piston, and O-Ring(4) on the Bonnet. Install the Cylinder (12).
The Bushing (16) and O-Ring (19) must be installed on the Shear/Seal Cylinder.
Install the Sleeve Nut(19), Bearing Stack (21), and Seal(25) onto the Non-Rising Stem(20). Note: The Seal lips face
toward the Bearing Stack. Install the Stem sub-assembly into the Hydraulic Cap (18). Install O-Ring (17). Install
Indicator Seal (27) with the seal lips toward you, and Seal Retainer (28). Align the groove in Sleeve Nut (19) with
the drilled holes in the Hydraulic Cap, install Keys (15). Tip: Grease in the drilled holes will help keep the Keys in
place during assembly.
Tip the sub-assembly slightly to one side to engage the Indicator into the groove in the Piston, ensure that
indicator is in place. Tighten the Hydraulic cap. If the Indicator is not engaged into the groove on the Piston, the
first time the Actuator is opened it will ruin the Piston by cutting a notch in the end of the Piston.

1 Introduction
The 5.12" 15M ES BOP is designed for coiled tubing and snubbing operations. The ES is the lightest in the industry yet
retains all the field-proven designs you have come to expect from Texas Oil Tools.
The compact size allows easier handling along with easier maintenance. All actuators feature power hydraulic ram
change, low bonnet bolt torque requirement, and a pressure balance piston. For shear operations (no booster
required).
Internally ported hydraulics (no external plumbing) eliminates the making and breaking of oil seals when changing or
servicing rams removing the possibility of environmental pollution.
2 Features
3 Certification
H2S Service - Materials in contact with pressured well fluids conform to NACE Specification MR-01-75 for H2S Service.
Arctic Service - In addition to the NACE Specifications above meets the API 6A with Charpy Impacts at -50°F.
North Sea Service - In addition to the NACE Specification s and API requirements additional Charpy Impact and NDE
are carried out. A Design Review and Certificate of Compliance by DNV, Lloyds, or Bureau Veritas are furnished with
the Data Book.
4 Operation
To open the Rams apply 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure to the body port marked "OPEN". Close the rams by
applying 1,500 to 3,000 psi hydraulic pressure to the body port marked "CLOSE".
To open the Bonnets apply 500 to 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure to the body port marked "CLOSE" (ram close). To close
the Bonnets apply 1,500 psi operating pressure to the body port marked "OPEN" (ram open). After closing the
bonnets maintain the 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure to keep the bonnet pulled tightly against the body as the bonnet
bolts are reinstalled.
Remove the bonnet bolts and open the bonnets as described above. Maintain hydraulic pressure until the bonnets
have fully retracted and the rams have fully extended making them accessible. Vent all hydraulic pressure to zero to
prevent personal injury in the event that the bonnet is closed prematurely during the ram change procedure.
Remove the ram by lifting up and over the ram change rod. NOTE: Do not scratch ram change rods.
Front and rear seals may be replaced without fully removing the rams. Lift the ram up until it clears the ram guide rod
and rotate slightly to gain access to the front seal.
Normal wear will be a moderate amount of extrusion downstream of the pressured side.
Replace the ram seals when usage has resulted in any noticeable loss of rubber. Field testing only to the
maximum anticipated well pressure will extend the life of the seals.
Inspect Bonnet Seal - For scratches and deformation, inspect o-rings and o-ring grooves.
Check cutting edges of the shear or shear seal inserts. If the blade is chipped then the cutting action of the insert
may be impaired and therefore it should be discarded.
Check the teeth of the slip inserts. If the slip teeth are blunt or dulled then the gripping action of the ram may
be impaired and therefore the slips should be discarded.
Always store and operate the BOP with the equalizing valve closed.
Completely disassemble the equalizing valve, replace all seals and worn parts.
Completely disassemble and inspect the bonnet assemblies. Replace all seals and worn parts.
Inspect all threads, connections, bushings and fittings. Replace and repair as required.
6 Field Testing
6.1 Function Test Bonnets - All actuators should be pressure tested to 3,000 psi working pressure in both the ram open
and ram close positions. A minimum hold time of 15 minutes is required without leakage.
Check the manual lock system when in the ram closed position.
6.2 Function Tests Shear Seal Ram and Blind Seal Tests - The shear seal rams and the blind rams seal should be closed
using 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure and pressure tested separately to 15,000 psi from below. The test medium should
be water with a rust inhibitor.
6.3 Function Test Slip Ram with Pipe Ram Seal Test - The slip rams should be closed around a suitable diameter test bar,
using 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure. The pipe rams should then be closed using 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure and
pressure tested to 15,000 psi from below. A minimum hold time of 15 minutes is required without leakage. The test
medium should be water with a rust inhibitor.
Tightening Torques
8.1 Disassembly
Remove the Bonnet Bolts from all actuators. Open each Actuator & remove the Ram assemblies. While supporting
the actuator unscrew the Change Rods for the BOP body. Do this for all actuators. Remove the Connector Guard
assembly. Remove the Equalizer Valve assemblies. Remove the Plug assemblies.
8.2 Assembly
Install Plugs, Equalizer Valves, & Connector Guards. Install the actuators by supporting it and lining up the ram
change rods, then screw the rods into the BOP body.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The "Combi" BOP is designed to accept Rams that combine the function of two Rams. This can be
either the combination of Shear and Seal (Blind), or Pipe and Slip.
The most obvious benefit is the reduced height and weight of a Combi BOP. The second advantage
is with the Shear/Seal Rams, pipe can be cut and the Rams closed as blind, without the need to
move the pipe. After the Pipe is cut, continued travel of the Shear Blade moves the cut portion up
and out of the way of the Seal.
Combi BOPs are available as Single, Double, or any multiple.
Combi Rams are longer than conventional, and cannot be used in a regular BOP that is not
designed for Combi Rams.
2.0 FEATURES
WELL PRESSURE ISOLATED - Separate seals for hydraulic and well pressure with a vent
to prevent well pressure from entering the hydraulic system.
HYDRAULIC OPERATION - Hydraulic system rated for 3,000 psi, however only 2200 psi
required to maximum rated working pressure.
EASY MAINTENANCE - No special handling tools required, the BOP breaks down into
manageable units.
RAM POSITION INDICATORS - Indicator Rods give a reliable indication of the Ram
position.
MANUAL LOCKS - Manual Locking Stems are non-rising; therefore, there are no threads
exposed to become dirty or bent.
SHEAR/SEAL RAMS - Shear/Seal Rams cut the coil tubing leaving a clean end for
circulating fluids or easy fishing, as well as providing a Blind Seal.
PIPE/SLIP RAMS - Pipe/Slip Rams have replaceable Inserts to renew the teeth without the
need to replace the entire Ram, as well as providing a Pipe Seal.
All BOP's are hydrostatic and function tested per API Spec 6A.
Rams are available for other sizes of coiled tubing.
All Ram Bodies are available, as ordered, in either Alloy, or Stainless Steel for long life and
easy maintenance.

Front and Rear Seals are made of Viton for the best life in H2S service, from -20 F to +250F.
Nitrile seals are preferred for CO2, and are lower cost. Low Temperature Nitrile or Hydrin
seals are recommended for Arctic temperatures to -50F. Other seal materials are available
for specific conditions.
Shear Blades for H2S Service: as noted in the NACE Specification MR-01-75 "High strength
and high hardness steels are required for Ram Shear Blades to Shear drill pipe during
emergency conditions. However the user shall be advised that these materials are highly
susceptible to SSC (Sulfide Stress Cracking)."
Since during workover operations the Blades may be exposed to H2S, the Shear Blades are
made with a soft core and hard case. The hard outer case will be subject to cracking,
however the softer core will not be as likely to crack in an H2S environment. The case
hardened Blades will not last as long as through hardened Blades, but we feel that this is
the best compromise for H2S service.
Slip Rams have real oilfield type hardened slip teeth in replaceable Inserts. Worn Slips can
be easily and economically replaced.
H2S: All well fluid wet metals to NACE,MR-01-75 for H2S Service, Viton O-Rings and Seals, and
PolyMyte Seals. Operation temperature range -20F to 250F.
H2S DNV-32C: All well fluid wet metal parts to NACE,MR-01-75 for H2S Service, Viton O-Rings and
Seals, and PolyMyte Seals. Charpy impact tests on all parts as required by DNV. DNV Design
Verification, Data Book, and Certificate of Conformity. Operational temperature range -32C to
121C. (-25F to 250F)
H2S-50F: All well fluid wet metal parts to NACE, MR-01-75 for H2S Service, Low Temp Nitrile O-
Rings and Hydrin Seals, PolyMyte Seals. Charpy impact tests on all parts as required by API 6A.
Operational temperature range -50F to 200F.

4.0 OPERATION:
The following instructions assume that the reader is educated and experienced in high pressure
well work, and H2S hazards. The following instructions relate only to the specific features of the
Texas Oil Tools Combi Blowout Preventer.
4.1 Be sure that the tool has been fully serviced by a competent technician. Do not assume that a
serviceable tool on the last job will be serviceable for the next. The rubber O-Rings, Front, Rear,
and Shear Seal Blades must be inspected. Slip teeth must be inspected to assure that they are
clean and sharp.
4.2 Check all flange and union seals and sealing surfaces for damage that might impair sealing.
Repair or replace.
4.3 Test all hydraulic functions, open and close each set of Rams.
4.4 Check the operation of the Manual Locks. NOTE: the Manual Locks must be fully open to
permit the Rams to fully open. The Rams can be closed manually. They can be opened only by
hydraulic pressure. If the Rams have been closed with hydraulic pressure, they may be locked by
turning the Handwheel approximately 50 turns clockwise. If the hydraulic system has failed, the
Rams may be closed with the same procedure; however the hydraulic fluid in front of the Piston
must be able to escape. The control valve must be in the "Close Rams" position. If the hydraulic
hoses are not connected, any quick connector check valve must be removed, or the check valve
held open to permit the hydraulic fluid to escape.
4.5 Pressure test the complete hook-up; BOP and all connections before starting the job.
4.6 Close all Equalizing Valves.

The BOP may be serviced either standing up or laying on its back. In either case, be sure that the
support is adequate and accounts for the shift in weight as the Bonnet Assemblies are removed.
Start with all Rams in the "open position". This will make it easier to remove the Ram from the bore
of the BOP, and with the Ram retracted into the Bonnet, it will not accidentally fall off as you handle
the sub-assembly.
Loosen all Cap Nuts(47), and Cap Screws(46) on each Bonnet approximately 1/4 turn. Remove the
Cap Nuts and install the Ram Change Rods(48). Remove the Cap Screws.
With the Ram Change Rods in place to support the Bonnet/Actuator Assembly and Ram, pull the
sub-assembly away from the Body(1). Take care! Do not use a pry bar as it will damage the Bonnet
or BOP sealing surface.
Rotate the Manual Lock right-hand to move the Ram out of the Bonnet. Take care that the Ram
does not slide off of the Guide. Rotate the Manual Lock left-hand to return it to the open position.
Note: this does not pull the Piston back to the open position, but will permit the hydraulic pressure
to retract the Ram during re-assembly.
If the BOP was not serviced after the last job, and a Ram is stuck, the following alternative will aid
in disassembly. Apply hydraulic pressure to "open" position, this will retract the Ram partially into
the Bonnet. This will permit application of hydraulic pressure even as the Bonnet moves away from
the BOP Body, when hydraulic pressure is applied to the "closed" position. When the Bonnet
Assembly has moved away from the BOP Body, place wood blocks between the Bonnet and Body.
Take care, not to damage the seal surfaces. Apply hydraulic pressure to "open" position, retracting
the Ram out of the Body.

Remove the Cap Screw(204) using a 5/16 Allen Wrench. The Shear Blade(205 or 206), and Blade
Retainer(207) can now be pushed out to either side of the Ram Body(201 or 202). With the Shear
Blade out, the Rear Seal(203) can be removed.
Install the Rear Seal(203). Place the Blade Retainer(207) in the slot in the Shear Blade(205 or 206),
and slide this sub-assembly into the Ram Body. Install the Cap Screw(204).
CAUTION! The Shear Blades can be installed wrong!!!! The Right Hand Shear Blade MUST be
assembled with the Cap Screw on top, it can be identified by the circulating slots cut in the lower
side, and a metal bridge insert molded into the rubber. The Left-hand Shear Blade MUST be on the
bottom, it has a large radius on the cutting edge close to the Ram Body.

Tip the sub-assembly slightly to one side to engage the Indicator into the groove in the Piston. Be
sure that it is in place. Tighten the Hydraulic cap. If the Indicator is not engaged into the groove on
the Piston, the first time the Actuator is opened it will ruin the Piston by cutting a notch in the end of
the Piston.

10.0 IN FIELD TESTING
Test fluids. Normally cold water should be used for testing, however, a non-inflammable fluid may
be used if it is not harmful to any of the resilient seals. Test Pressure. Pressure shall not exceed the
rated Working Pressure of the specified assembly, open or closed. Test Pressure should be
regulated to the lowest Working Pressure of any outlet or connection, flanged or threaded. In NO
case shall the FIELD Test Pressure exceed the manufacturer’s rated WORKING pressure of the
product. Rated Test Pressure is a factory test of the product to prove the strength of the BOP shell,
and in NO case shall be used as working Pressure.
Note: Field testing only to the maximum anticipated well pressure will extend the life of the seals.
AFTER 20 JOBS OR 12 MONTHS MAXIMUM (severe local conditions may require more frequent
inspection intervals)
Completely disassemble the BOP, Rams, and Equalizing Valve, replace all seals and worn parts.
Completely disassemble and inspect the Hydraulic Actuator Assembly. Replace all seals and worn
parts.

1 Introduction
The 3.06" 15K / 4.06" 10K & 15K ES BOPs are designed for coiled tubing and snubbing operations. The ES is the lightest
in the industry, yet retains all the field-proven designs you have come to expect from Texas Oil Tools.
The compact size allows easier handling along with easier maintenance. All actuators feature power hydraulic ram
change, low bonnet bolt torque requirement, and a pressure balance piston (Pat, Pend)... For shear operations (no
booster required).
Internally ported hydraulics (no external plumbing) eliminates the making and breaking of oil seals when changing or
servicing rams; thus removing the possibility of environmental pollution.
2 Features
3 Certification
- Testing - All BOPs are hydrostatic and function tested per API 6A.
H2S Service - Materials in contact with pressured well fluids conform to NACE Specification MR-01-75 for H2S Service.
Arctic Service - In addition to the NACE Specifications above meets the API 6A with Charpy Impacts at -50°F.
North Sea Service - In addition to the NACE Specifications and API requirements additional Charpy Impact and NDE are
carried out. A Design Review and Certificate of Compliance by DNV, Lloyds, or Bureau Veritas are furnished with the
Data Book.
4 Operation
4.1 Ram Open and Close - Before opening the rams be sure the lock screws are backed fully out (turn counter clockwise).
If lock screws do not turn out easily after a closed and locked wellbore pressure test apply 1,500 to 3,000 psi hydraulic
pressure to the "CLOSE" hydraulic port to relieve the load from the end of the tail rod.
To open the rams apply 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure to the body port marked "OPEN". Close the rams by applying
1,500 to 3,000 psi hydraulic pressure to the body port marked "CLOSE".
To open the bonnets apply 500 to 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure to the body port marked "CLOSE" (ram close). To
close the bonnets apply 1,500 psi operating pressure to the body port marked "OPEN" (ram open). After closing
the bonnets maintain the 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure to keep the bonnet pulled tightly against the body as the
bonnet bolts are reinstalled.
Remove the bonnet bolts and open the bonnets as described above. Maintain hydraulic pressure until the bonnets
have fully retracted and the rams have fully extended making them accessible. Vent all hydraulic pressure to zero
to prevent personal injury in the event that the bonnet is closed prematurely during the ram change procedure.
As an added safety precaution install the ram change rod covers (9601-3036) to prevent the accidental closure of
the bonnets as well as to prevent damage to the ram change rods.
Remove the ram by lifting up and over the ram change rod. NOTE: Do not scratch ram change rods.
Front and rear seals may be replaced without fully removing the rams. Lift the ram up until it clears the ram guide
rod and rotate slightly to gain access to the front seal.
The large bore shear seal BOP is equipped with pressure reducing regulators on the ram open hydraulic circuit to
prevent damage in the event ram open pressure is applied while the rams are sealing wellbore pressure. During
operation, the reducing regulator should be set at 1000 psi or less.
During ram change operations, it may be necessary to increase the pressure setting on the regulator to fully close
the bonnet. It may take as much as 1500 to 2000 psi to fully close the bonnets against the body. After the ram
change operation is complete, the regulator should be reset to its 1000 psi operating setting.
5 Routine Maintenance

place with socket head cap screw (704). Install rear seal (703) to fit flush with surface of ram body (701 or 702).
ES4R-T005
Normal wear will be a moderate amount of extrusion downstream of the pressured side.
Replace the ram seals when usage has resulted in any noticeable loss of rubber. Field testing only to the maximum
anticipated well pressure will extend the life of the seals.
Inspect Bonnet Seal - Any extrusion indicates improper tightening of the bonnet bolts. Extrusion all around the o-ring
indicates even, but inadequate tightening of the bonnet nuts. Extrusion over only a part of the o-ring indicates uneven
tightening of the bonnet bolts. Replace if any extrusion is evident.
Check cutting edges of the shear or shear seal inserts. If the blade is chipped then the cutting action of the insert may
be impaired and therefore it should be discarded.
Check the teeth of the slip inserts. If the slip teeth are blunt or dulled then the gripping action of the ram may be
impaired and therefore the slips should be discarded.
Always store and operate the BOP with the equalizing valve closed.
After 20 Jobs or 12 Months Maximum - Completely disassemble the equalizing valve, replace all seals and worn parts.
Completely disassemble and inspect the bonnet assemblies. Replace all seals and worn parts.
Inspect all threads, connections, bushings and fittings. Replace and repair as required.
7 Field Testing
Function Test Bonnets - All actuators should be pressure tested to 3,000 psi working pressure in both the ram open
and ram close positions. A minimum hold time of 15 minutes is required without leakage.
Check the manual lock system when in the ram closed position.
Function Tests Shear Seal Ram and Blind Seal Tests - The shear seal rams and the blind rams seal should be closed
using 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure and pressure tested separately to 15,000 psi from below. The test medium should
be water with a rust inhibitor.
Function Test Slip Ram with Pipe Ram Seal Test - The slip rams should be closed around a suitable diameter test bar,
using 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure. The pipe rams should then be closed using 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure and pressure
tested to 15,000 psi from below. A minimum hold time of 15 minutes is required without leakage. The test medium
should be water with a rust inhibitor.

3.0 OPERATION
The following instructions assume that the reader is educated and experienced in high pressure well
work, and H2S hazards and relate only to the specific features of the Texas Oil Tools Quad Blowout
Preventer.
Be sure that the tool has been fully serviced by a competent technician. Do not assume that a serviceable
tool on the last job will be serviceable for the next. Check all flange and union seals and sealing surfaces.
Test all hydraulic functions, open and close each set of rams.
Check the operation of the manual locks. NOTE: The manual locks must be fully open to permit the
rams to fully open. The rams can be closed manually. They can be opened only by hydraulic pressure.
If the rams have been closed with hydraulic pressure, they may be locked in the closed position by
turning the handwheel approximately 20 turns clockwise. If the hydraulic system has failed, the rams
may be closed with the same procedure; however, the hydraulic fluid in front of the piston must be
able to escape. The control valve must be in the "Close Rams" position. If the hydraulic hoses are
not connected, any quick connector check valve must be removed, or the check valve held open
to permit the hydraulic fluid to escape.
1185 Rev. B UNIT
Page 2 of 17
Pressure test the complete hook-up; BOP and all connections including the stripper packer, before
starting the job. Close all equalizing valves.
Rams are available in blind, pipe, slip, and shear for all sizes of coiled tubing.
Front and rear seals are made of Viton for the best life in H2S service, from -20EF to +250EF. Other
seal materials are available for low temperature, or higher temperature water/steam service.
Shear blades for H2S Service: as noted in the NACE Specification MR-01-75" High strength and high
hardness steels are required for ram shear blades to shear drill pipe during emergency conditions.
However the user shall be advised that these materials are highly susceptible to SSC (Sulfide Stress
Cracking)." Since during workover operations the blades may be exposed to H2S, the shear blades
are made with a soft core and hard case. The hard outer case will be subject to cracking, however
the softer core will not be as likely to crack in an H2S environment. The case hardened blades will
not last as long as through hardened blades, but we feel that this is the best compromise for H2S
service.
Slip rams have real oilfield type hardened slip teeth in replaceable Inserts. Worn slips can be easily
and economically replaced. Changing coiled tubing sizes only requires changing the insert, or insert
and guide. The ram body accepts all Inserts from 1.00 through 2.00 coiled tubing. A different ram
is needed for sizes larger than 2.00 coiled tubing.
Series EH requires bonnets with four different portings to align the bonnets with right and left hand
body ports, and to position the closing tubes between the cylinders for maximum protection.
The BOP may be serviced either standing up or laying on its back. In either case, be sure that the
support is adequate, and accounts for the shift in weight as the bonnet assemblies are removed.
Start with all rams in the open position. This will make it easier to remove the ram from the bore
of the BOP, and with the ram retracted into the bonnet, it will not fall off as you handle the sub-assembly.
Loosen all nuts (3), and cap screws (46) on each bonnet approximately ¼ turn and remove. NOTE:
There is a female thread in the end of the stud (2) which will accept the thread on the bonnet change
cap screws (47). Install the two bonnet change cap screws (47) to support the weight of the bonnet
assembly while changing the rams.
Slide the bonnet/actuator assembly with the ram, out onto the bonnet change cap screws. This assembly
weighs approximately 250 pounds. TAKE CARE! Do not use a pry bar and damage the bonnet or
BOP sealing surface.
If you have an extreme case and the rams are stuck, remove the two #12 SAE hex plugs (403) to
reveal a ½" NPTF thread inside the bonnet. Install a nipple 3 inches or longer in order to operate
the actuator without sealing against the BOP body. Apply hydraulic pressure to open the rams, then
apply pressure to close. This will move the actuator assembly out and away from the BOP body. Place
two pieces of wood between the bonnet and body. Take care not to damage the o-ring sealing
surface. Apply hydraulic pressure to open the rams, which will pull the stuck ram out of the BOP
body. Never use a pry bar between the bonnet and BOP body!
Rotate the manual lock right-hand to close the ram, in order to remove it from the ram guide (6). Rotate
the manual lock left-hand to return it to the open position.

RAM DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY
Install the ram assembly onto the ram guide (6); take care not to damage the seal surface on the
bonnet. Apply hydraulic pressure to open the actuator slowly! Be sure that the ram is in position
to retract into the bonnet (5). KEEP YOUR FINGERS CLEAR!
Install the ram bonnet o-ring (4), and hydraulic port o-rings (401). Position the bonnet assembly to
align with the index pin on the body, and install the bonnet assembly. Take care as the rams enter
the body, that you have the bonnet assembly aligned and the seal surface on the body is not damaged.
Install all bonnet nuts (3) hand tight, remove the ram change cap screws (47), install the cap screws
(46). Start tightening nuts and cap screws in a pattern of 1-3-2-4, repeat until all nuts and screws
are tightened to the specified torque shown in Specifications.
Clamp bonnet (5) in a vise, push rod (7) into the fully retracted position. Remove nut (31), handle
(30), and retainer ring (29), remove hydraulic cap (43). As the hydraulic cap is removed, the indicator
rod (21) will remain attached to the piston (16). Take care that you do not bend the indicator or damage
the piston or cylinder (13). The indicator rod can now be removed.
Loosen the tube nut (407) and remove the closing tube (409). NOTE: The closing tube is free to slide
out of the adapter (412). If you must remove the elbow (406), use a e" Allen wrench to hold the hex
retainer (404) while removing the elbow. To change the seal (411), remove gland (410) and use a
hook to remove the seal. Take care not to scratch the sealing surface.
Remove the keys (24) and push the stem assembly out of the hydraulic cap. The seal (28) can now
be removed, take care not to scratch the sealing surface. To remove the indicator seal (23), remove
the retainer (22) using a ¼" Allen wrench. Take care in removing the seal, do not scratch the seal
surface. Remove o-ring (12).
Remove the cylinder (13). Remove the piston (16). A pair of Part # 7940-3001 adjustable spanner
wrenches are the most convenient tools for this job, and will not damage the parts. Align the hole
in the piston retainer (15) with the set screw (20), remove the set screw using a 3/32" Allen wrench,
now the rod nut (19) can be removed. Remove set screw (17). Take care to remove the Woodruff
key (44) before attempting to remove the piston rod (7). Remove piston guide (14), and piston
rod (7). Remove o-ring (12).
Remove the retainer (11), and the seal (10). Remove retainer (8) and two seals (9). Take care to
avoid damage to the sealing surface.
Clamp the bonnet (5) in a vise. Install two seals (9). NOTE: Lip towards you. Install retainer (8). Next
install seal (10) with the lip toward you, and then the retainer (11), and o-ring (12).
Install piston rod (7). Install Woodruff key (44), rotate piston rod to align the Woodruff key with the
groove in the piston guide (14). Install piston guide and set screw (17). Install piston retainer (15)
and rod nut (19). Install set screw (20) through the hole in the piston retainer using a 3/32" Allen wrench.
Install piston (16) and o-ring (18). Install cylinder (13). NOTE: The threads are the same on both ends;
however, it should be installed with the identification groove toward the bonnet to insure that the ports
will align properly. Push on the ram guide (6) to move the piston to the fully "open" position.
Install seal (411) and o-ring (413). Install the adapter (412) in the bonnet. Install hex retainer (404)
using a e" Allen wrench inside the cylinder as a back-up while installing the o-ring (405) and tightening
the elbow (406). Install cylinder (13). Slide the closing tube (409) with tube nut (407) and sleeve (408)
in place into the adapter, then bring the closing tube back to contact the level of the elbow and tighten
the nut (407).
Install the sleeve nut (25), bearing assembly (27), and seal (28) onto the stem (26). NOTE: The seal
lips face toward the bearing assembly. Install the stem sub-assembly into the hydraulic cap (43). Install
o-ring (12). Install seal (23), with the seal lips toward you, and seal retainer (22). Align the groove
in sleeve nut (25) with the drilled holes in the hydraulic cap, install keys (24). NOTE: Grease in the
drilled holes will help keep the keys in place during assembly. Install the indicator rod (21), leaving
it nearly fully extended.
Tip the stem sub-assembly slightly to one side to engage the indicator into the groove in the piston.
Be sure that it is in place. If the indicator is not engaged into the groove on the piston, the first time
the actuator is opened it will ruin the piston by cutting a notch in the face. Tighten the hydraulic cap.
DISASSEMBLY
Remove the equalizing valve bonnet (35), NOTE: Left-hand thread!
Use a ¼" Allen wrench and rotate right-hand to remove the equalizing valve stem (36), seals (40),and
spacer (38). Remove and discard o-ring (39).
Remove the equalizing valve seat (37) using a short piece of heavy wire with a hook bent on the end.
Remove two seals (40). Take care do not damage the sealing surface. NOTE: If the seat is stuck,
hold the hooked wire in place with the ¼" Allen wrench while you pull on the wire.
ASSEMBLY
Install o-ring (39) on the equalizing valve bonnet (35). Install the stem (36) into the bonnet, rotating
it to the full open position. Install the spacer (38). NOTE: Beveled side in first. Install two seals (40),
smooth side in, lip side out. Use the equalizing valve seat as a tool to push the seals into the bonnet.
Install two seals (40) into the body. An easy method is to start one seal at a time into the seal bore
crossways. When the seal is b of the way into position use the ¼" Allen wrench to rotate the seal
so the lips face in toward the bore of the BOP. When both seals are in place, install the seat (37).
Check to assure that the stem (36) is in the fully opened position, install the bonnet/stem assembly.
NOTE: Left-hand thread.
The ports on the body for connecting the hydraulic fittings are # 12 SAE (11/16-12 w/o-ring). The ports
in the body will align with the ports in the bonnets. If the closing tube is on the bottom of the cylinder,
the lower BOP body port will be the closing port. If the closing tube is on top of the cylinder, the upper
BOP body port will be the closing port. Be sure that bonnets on opposing sides of the BOP have
the closing tubes on the same side of the cylinder. The bonnets have an extra ½" NPTF thread
below the # 12 SAE straight thread ports in the side of the bonnet. Remove the # 12 SAE hex plug
(403) and install a ½" NPT nipple 3 inches or longer, in order to operate the actuator without its sealing
against the BOP body.

1 Introduction
The 5.12" 15M ES BOP is designed for coiled tubing and snubbing operations. The ES is the lightest in the industry yet
retains all the field-proven designs you have come to expect from Texas Oil Tools.
The compact size allows easier handling along with easier maintenance. All actuators feature power hydraulic ram
change, low bonnet bolt torque requirement, and a pressure balance piston. For shear operations (no booster
required).
Internally ported hydraulics (no external plumbing) eliminates the making and breaking of oil seals when changing or
servicing rams removing the possibility of environmental pollution.
2 Features
3 Certification
H2S Service - Materials in contact with pressured well fluids conform to NACE Specification MR-01-75 for H2S Service.
Arctic Service - In addition to the NACE Specifications above meets the API 6A with Charpy Impacts at -50°F.
North Sea Service - In addition to the NACE Specification s and API requirements additional Charpy Impact and NDE
are carried out. A Design Review and Certificate of Compliance by DNV, Lloyds, or Bureau Veritas are furnished with
the Data Book.
4 Operation
To open the Rams apply 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure to the body port marked "OPEN". Close the rams by
applying 1,500 to 3,000 psi hydraulic pressure to the body port marked "CLOSE".
To open the Bonnets apply 500 to 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure to the body port marked "CLOSE" (ram close). To close
the Bonnets apply 1,500 psi operating pressure to the body port marked "OPEN" (ram open). After closing the
bonnets maintain the 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure to keep the bonnet pulled tightly against the body as the bonnet
bolts are reinstalled.
Remove the bonnet bolts and open the bonnets as described above. Maintain hydraulic pressure until the bonnets
have fully retracted and the rams have fully extended making them accessible. Vent all hydraulic pressure to zero to
prevent personal injury in the event that the bonnet is closed prematurely during the ram change procedure.
Remove the ram by lifting up and over the ram change rod. NOTE: Do not scratch ram change rods.
Front and rear seals may be replaced without fully removing the rams. Lift the ram up until it clears the ram guide rod
and rotate slightly to gain access to the front seal.
Normal wear will be a moderate amount of extrusion downstream of the pressured side.
Replace the ram seals when usage has resulted in any noticeable loss of rubber. Field testing only to the
maximum anticipated well pressure will extend the life of the seals.
Inspect Bonnet Seal - For scratches and deformation, inspect o-rings and o-ring grooves.
Check cutting edges of the shear or shear seal inserts. If the blade is chipped then the cutting action of the insert
may be impaired and therefore it should be discarded.
Check the teeth of the slip inserts. If the slip teeth are blunt or dulled then the gripping action of the ram may
be impaired and therefore the slips should be discarded.
Always store and operate the BOP with the equalizing valve closed.
Completely disassemble the equalizing valve, replace all seals and worn parts.
Completely disassemble and inspect the bonnet assemblies. Replace all seals and worn parts.
Inspect all threads, connections, bushings and fittings. Replace and repair as required.
6 Field Testing
6.1 Function Test Bonnets - All actuators should be pressure tested to 3,000 psi working pressure in both the ram open
and ram close positions. A minimum hold time of 15 minutes is required without leakage.
Check the manual lock system when in the ram closed position.
6.2 Function Tests Shear Seal Ram and Blind Seal Tests - The shear seal rams and the blind rams seal should be closed
using 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure and pressure tested separately to 15,000 psi from below. The test medium should
be water with a rust inhibitor.
6.3 Function Test Slip Ram with Pipe Ram Seal Test - The slip rams should be closed around a suitable diameter test bar,
using 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure. The pipe rams should then be closed using 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure and
pressure tested to 15,000 psi from below. A minimum hold time of 15 minutes is required without leakage. The test
medium should be water with a rust inhibitor.
Tightening Torques
8.1 Disassembly
Remove the Bonnet Bolts from all actuators. Open each Actuator & remove the Ram assemblies. While supporting
the actuator unscrew the Change Rods for the BOP body. Do this for all actuators. Remove the Connector Guard
assembly. Remove the Equalizer Valve assemblies. Remove the Plug assemblies.
8.2 Assembly
Install Plugs, Equalizer Valves, & Connector Guards. Install the actuators by supporting it and lining up the ram
change rods, then screw the rods into the BOP body.

Minimum pressure rating for new BOP’s is 10,000 psi (68,947 kPa) and
15,000 psi (103,421 kPa) working pressure. The Quad BOP has two
equalizing ports, one on each sealing ram – their function is to equalize
pressure across the ram face if required. The BOP will also have a pump in
side outlet in-between the slip and shear rams, to enable well
killing/pumping facility if operationally required.
Note this port is not to be used as a flow-line or take returns.

3.0 OPERATION
The following instructions assume that the reader is educated and experienced in high pressure well work
and H2S hazards. The following instructions relate only to the specific features of the Texas Oil Tools Quad
Blowout Preventer.
Be sure that the tool has been fully serviced by a competent technician. Do not assume that a serviceable
tool on the last job will be serviceable for the next.
Check all flange and union seals and sealing surfaces for damage that might impair sealing. Repair or
replace.
Test all hydraulic functions; open and close each set of rams.
Check the operation of the manual locks. NOTE: The manual locks must be fully open to permit the rams
to fully open. Rotate the handwheel counter clockwise to open the manual locks. The rams can be closed
manually. They can be opened only with hydraulic pressure. If the rams have been closed with hydraulic
pressure, they may be locked by turning the handwheel approximately 20 turns clockwise. If the hydraulic
system has failed, the rams may be closed with the same procedure; however the hydraulic fluid in front
of the piston must be able to escape.
To allow the fluid to escape, the control valve must be in the "Close Rams" position. If the hydraulic hoses
are not connected, any quick connector check valve must be removed, or the check valve held open to
permit the hydraulic fluid to escape. Closing against full working pressure may require use of a 12" wrench
or bar for additional leverage to fully close the rams.
Pressure test the complete hook-up; BOP and all connections before starting each job.
Rams are available in blind, pipe, slip & shear for 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, and 2.00 tubing.
All ram bodies are made of stainless steel for long life and easy maintenance.
Front and rear seals are made of Viton for the best life in H2S service, from -20EF to 250EF. Other seal
materials are available for lower temperature, or higher temperature water/steam service.
Shear blades for H2S service: as noted in the NACE Specification MR-01-75 "high strength and high
hardness steels are required for ram shear blades to shear drill pipe during emergency conditions.
However, the user shall be advised that these materials are highly susceptible to SSC (Sulfide Stress
Cracking)." Since during workover operations the blades may be exposed to H2S, the shear blades are
made with a soft core and hard case. The hard outer case will be subject to cracking, however the softer
core will not be as likely to crack in an H2S environment. The case hardened blades will not last as long as
through hardened blades, but we feel that this is the best compromise for H2S service. Check the condition
of the blades before each job. The blades are designed and proven for multiple shears, however, due to
well conditions and the age of the blades, replacement might be necessary prior to any shearing.
Slip rams have hardened slip teeth in replaceable inserts. The interrupted cut design on the slips reduces
the risk of damaging the coiled tubing. Worn slips can be easily and economically replaced. Changing
coiled tubing sizes, in many cases, only requires changing the insert and guide. See Parts List for
combinations.
Series EH requires bonnets with four different porting configurations to align the bonnets with right and left
hand body ports, and to position the closing tubes between the cylinders for maximum protection.

DISASSEMBLY BOP
Change/Inspect rams, actuators intact. Caution: The BOP weighs nearly 1200 pounds. Be sure that the
lifting and handling equipment can safely handle this load. ALWAYS assume that something may break;
never have any part of your body under the suspended tool. The BOP may be serviced either standing up
or laying on its back. In either case be sure that the support is adequate, and accounts for the shift in weight
as the bonnet assemblies are removed.
Start with all rams in the "open position". This will make it easier to remove the ram from the bore of
the BOP, and with the ram retracted into the bonnet, it will not fall off as you handle the sub-assembly.
Caution!! When removing the bonnets, the hydraulic fluid will spill.
Loosen all nuts (4) on each bonnet approximately 1/4 turn, then remove all nuts.
Remove the bonnet/actuator assembly with the ram. Take care! Do not use a pry bar and damage the
bonnet or BOP sealing surface.
Rotate the manual lock clockwise to move the ram out of the bonnet. Be prepared to catch the ram as it
may slide off of the guide when the piston rod guide (7) is extended. Be sure to return the manual lock to
the "open" position.
If the ram is stuck and the bonnet assembly cannot be removed, start with the ram in the "open" position.
Remove the #8 hex plug (403) from the bonnet and install a 1/4" NPT pipe nipple at least 3" long in the
threads inside the port where the plugs were removed. This will allow application of hydraulic pressure to
each individual bonnet. With the nuts (3) removed, apply hydraulic pressure to "close". This will move the
bonnet away from the BOP body. Carefully position blocks of wood between the bonnet and body (not on
the sealing surface), apply hydraulic pressure to "open". This will pull the ram out of the bore.
ASSEMBLY BOP
Install the ram assembly onto the piston rod and guide (7); take care, not to damage the seal surface on
the bonnet. Apply hydraulic pressure to the actuator slowly, be sure that the ram is in position to retract into
the bonnet (5). KEEP YOUR FINGERS CLEAR!
Install the ram bonnet o-ring (4) and hydraulic port o-ring (401). Position the bonnet assembly to align with
the index pin on the body, and install the bonnet assembly. Take care as the rams enter the body, that you
have the bonnet assembly aligned and the seal surface on the body is not damaged.
Install all cap nuts (3) hand tight, start tightening nuts in a pattern of 1-3-2-4, repeat until all nuts are
tightened to torque shown.

DISASSEMBLY
Complete the Minor Disassembly instructions, then start the following sequence.
Prior to disassembly of the cylinder, be sure to mark each bonnet/cylinder actuator with a unique mark. This
will make the assembly easier since each cylinder and bonnet is timed at the factory.
Clamp bonnet (5) in a vise. Push rod & guide assembly (7) into the fully retracted position. Remove nut (31),
handle (30), and retainer ring (29). Remove hydraulic cap (43). Caution! Do not attempt to remove the
hydraulic cap by turning the handwheel. The torque will force the key out against the threads in the cylinder
and can damage the threads. As the hydraulic cap is removed, the indicator rod (21) may remain attached
to the piston. Take care that you do not bend the indicator or damage the piston or cylinder. The indicator
rod can now be removed.
Loosen the tube nut (407) and remove the closing tube (409). Note the closing tube is free to slide out of
the adapter (412). If you must remove the elbow (406), use a 5/16" Allen wrench to hold the hex retainer (404)
while removing the elbow. To change the seal (411), use a 1/4" Allen wrench to reach the socket inside the
adapter (412).
Remove the keys (24) and push the stem assembly out of the hydraulic cap. The seal (28) can now be
removed. Take care not to scratch the sealing surface. To remove the indicator seal (23), remove the
retainer (22) using a 1/4" Allen wrench. Take care in removing the seal, do not scratch the seal surface.
Remove o-ring (12).
Unscrew cylinder (13) from bonnet. Remove piston (16). A pair of Part #7940-3001 adjustable spanner
wrenches are the most convenient tools for this job, and will not damage the parts. Align the hole in piston
retainer (15) with set screw (20), remove the set screw with 3/32" Allen wrench, now the rod nut (19) can be
removed. Remove set screw (17). Take Care to remove Woodruff key (44) before attempting to remove the
rod & guide (7). Remove piston guide (14), and rod & guide (7). Remove o-ring (12).
Remove the retainer (11), and the seal (10). Remove retainer (8) and two seals (9). Take care to avoid
damage to the sealing surfaces.
ASSEMBLY
Note the correct direction of all seals.
Clamp the bonnet (5) in a vise. Install two seals (9 & 9A). with the lip towards you. Install retainer (8). Next
install seal (10) with the lip toward you, and then the retainer (11), and o-ring (12).
Install the rod & guide assembly (7) in the bonnet, install Woodruff key (44), rotate piston rod to align the
Woodruff key with the groove in the piston guide (14). Install piston guide and set screw (17). Install piston
retainer (15), rod nut (19), and set screw (20) through the hole in the piston retainer using a 3/32" Allen
wrench. Install piston (16) and o-ring (18). Install cylinder (13), note the threads are the same on both ends,
however it should be installed with the identification groove toward the bonnet to ensure that the ports will
align properly. Push on the rod & guide (7) to move the piston to the fully "open" position.
UNIT 1184 Rev. C
Page 7 of 26
Install the adapter (412) using the 1/4" Allen wrench. Install seal (411) with lips toward bonnet. Install gland
(410). Install hex retainer (404) using a 5/16" Allen wrench inside the cylinder as a back-up while tightening
the elbow (406). Do not forget the o-ring (405). Slide the closing tube (409) with tube nut (407) and sleeve
(408) in place into the adapter. Then bring it back to position with the elbow and tighten the nut (407) and
gland (410).
Install the sleeve nut (25), bearing assembly (27), and seal (28) onto the stem (26). Note: The seal lips face
toward the bearing assembly. The bearing assembly consists of three separate bearings. The steel bearing
must be positioned between the bronze bearings. Install the stem sub-assembly into the hydraulic cap (43).
Install retainer ring (29). Install o-ring (12). Install seal (23), with the seal lips toward you, and seal retainer
(22). Align the groove in sleeve nut (25) with the drilled holes in the hydraulic cap, install keys (24). Note
grease in the drilled holes will help keep the keys in place during assembly. Install the indicator rod (21),
leaving it nearly fully extended.
Tip the sub-assembly slightly to one side to engage the indicator into the groove in the piston. Be sure that
it is in place. Tighten the hydraulic cap. If the indicator is not engaged into the groove on the piston, the first
time the actuator is opened it will ruin the piston by cutting a notch in the end.
DISASSEMBLY
Remove the equalizing valve bonnet (35). NOTE: LEFT-HAND THREAD. Use a 1/4" Allen wrench and rotate
right-hand to remove the equalizing valve stem (36), seals (40), and spacer (38). Remove and discard o-
ring (39).
Remove the equalizing valve seat (37) using a short piece of heavy wire with a hook bent on the end.
Remove two seals (40). Take care not to damage the sealing surface. Note: If the seat is stuck, hold the
hooked wire in place with the 1/4" Allen wrench while you pull on the wire.
ASSEMBLY
Install o-ring (39) on the equalizing valve bonnet (35). Install the stem (36) into the bonnet, rotating it to the
full "open" position. Install the spacer (38), note beveled side in first. Install two seals (40), smooth side in,
lip side out. Use the equalizing valve seat (37) for a tool to push the seals into the bonnet.
Install two seals (40) into the body. An easy method is to start one seal at a time into the seal bore
crosswise. When the seal is 2/3 of the way into position, use the 1/4" Allen wrench to rotate the seal so the lips
face in toward the bore of the BOP. When both seals are in place, install the seat (37).
Check to assure that the stem (36) is in the fully opened position, install the bonnet/stem assembly. Note:
LEFT-HAND THREAD.

FIELD TESTING: Test fluids. Normally cold water should be used for testing, however, a non-inflammable
fluid may be used if it is not harmful to any of the resilient seals. Test Pressure. Pressure shall not exceed
the rated working pressure of the specified assembly, open or closed. Test pressure should be regulated
to the lowest working pressure of any outlet or connection, flanged or threaded. Test pressure must also
be limited to the working pressure (with safety factor) of the tubing used in the test. In NO case shall the
test pressure exceed the manufacturers rated WORKING pressure of the product. Rated test pressure is
a factory test of the product to prove the strength of the BOP shell, and in NO case shall be used as working
pressure.

cuts were made, the highest observed pressure is the one shown. Wireline was placed inside the coiled
tubing for many of the cuts. Both 7/32 and 15/32 line was used, and in every case the wireline cut at a
lower pressure than the tubing.
Column # 4 records the part number of the shear blade used in the test. Part numbers 8011-3535, 37, 41
& 44 are the original style blade furnished with the 3.00 Quad BOP. Part number 8011-5536 is the new
(1992) shear blade. Note that the one size new blade cuts all coiled tubing from 1.00 through 1.75, and with
wireline.
Column #5 records the pressure to cut the tubing (with zero well pressure). This is with the original 3"
hydraulic cylinders, (no booster). Column # 6 adds the pressure required to overcome a well pressure of
5,000psi. Column # 7 adds the hydraulic pressure required to overcome the force of 10,000psi well
pressure.
Column # 8 indicates the hydraulic pressure required using the EH34-BC01 booster, and with 10,000psi
well pressure. This booster does not require changing the original rod w/guide, but has not been qualified
for North Sea -25EF service.
Column # 9 indicates the hydraulic pressure required using the EH34-BC03L booster, and with 10,000psi
well pressure. This booster requires changing the rod with guide, piston, and piston guide. This unit is
designed for a minimum 2,000psi hydraulic pressure, 3,000psi maximum hydraulic pressure, and 4,500psi
hydraulic pressure test.
Column # 10 indicates the hydraulic pressure required using the EH24-BC05L booster, and with 10,000psi
well pressure. This booster requires changing the rod with guide, piston, and piston guide. This unit is
designed for 1,500psi hydraulic working pressure, and 3,000psi hydraulic test pressure.
Column # 12 lists the cross sectional area of the wall of the coiled tubing.
Column # 13 F/As indicates a shear stress for the particular pipe/blade combination.
The last three columns can be used to approximate the pressure required to cut tubing that is not listed on
the chart.

EGA BONNET SEALS
Objective
To notify all users of EGA BOPs of a change to the BONNET SEAL. (P601013447)
Issue
Texas Oil Tools was notified that the Bonnet Seal (P601013447) for the EGA BOP was not consistently
sealing properly. Through various field reports, it was determined that the seal was on the high side of
the hardness range for operations in certain areas of the world. The seal was revised to a softer
compound that would work for all operations globally. As TOT had not been notified by any operations,
other than those in Alaska, the decision to use the original compound for all other users until stock was
depleted was made.
Solution
Texas Oil Tools is scrapping all P601013447 Revision ‘01’ seals. They are to be replaced with the current
revision of ‘02’. Please contact TOT for replacement parts.

Subject: Coiled Tubing BOP Actuator Hydraulic Closing Pressure related to Coil Wall
Thickness and Grade Guideline
Product Model: All TOT BOP Coiled Tubing Models Configured Slip or Pipe Slip
Objective
Coiled Tubing advancements in material, yield strength and manufacturing processes continue to be one
main area of focus for TOT when developing and sustaining delivered product. Testing numerous
combinations of coiled tubing produced is a very challenging task. BOP slip and pipe slip product testing
is done onsite in our Lab to determine effects of slip engagement on coil. Hydraulic force applied to an
actuator will affect holding capacity and sealing and should be adjusted depending upon coiled tubing
being used.
Resolution
Texas Oil Tools is making the below recommendation when using larger size actuators beginning at
7.00” piston diameter rated to 3,000 psi hydraulic pressure and higher, if applicable.
• Minimum - Maximum hydraulic pressure: ALL CT pipe ODs, with wall thicknesses ranging from
0.109 to 0.165 must adjust the hydraulic pressure to a range = 1,300 psi - 1,500-psi.
• Minimum - Maximum hydraulic pressure: ALL CT pipe ODs, with wall thicknesses ranging from
0.175 and heavier can leave the normal hydraulic settings on the system = 2,700 psi - 3,000-psi

Product Improvement Notification
Date: 2018-09-12
Bulletin Number: 1000012717-PIN Revision: 01
Objective
Outline EIA74 SSR product Bill of Material modification to reduce hydraulic pressure required to open
actuator set after closing and locking.
Issue
Field has reported SSR actuators that are unable to function Open utilizing working hydraulic pressure.
Investigation
TOT conducted a variety of tests, including a 20-cycle test with an accumulator and low volume pump
with wellbore pressure being applied at the end of the Close cycles. A modification was made to the
overall stroke length of the wedge lock system.
Improvements Implemented
A 0.5” spacer was implemented in addition to the improvements listed in the 1000012215-PIN Product
Improvement Notification. The 1000012215-PIN is still applicable to all EIA74 Actuators, but this PIN is to
be considered an addendum to the EIA74 SSR actuators with 8.5” diameter main pistons. All EIA74 GSR
actuators with 7.0” diameter pistons are not covered by this PIN. This PIN is only for use on actuators
where the 1000012215-PIN has already been implemented and are still unable to function Open using
working hydraulic pressure.
Product Improvement Bulletin Page 2 of 3
The spacer is shown installed on the wedge piston with the revised wedge and clevis design from
the 1000012215-PIN Product Improvement Notification.

Subject: Awareness of ram body size specific slip inserts. (4.06 vs. 5.12)
Effectivity: Part number specific slip insert to bore specific ram bodies
Objective
Issue
Texas Oil Tools was made aware of an incident where a slip insert (2000-3044) from a 4.06 ram was
installed into a 5.12 ram body (2002-3777B). This resulted in the 4.06 slip insert pinching the coil tubing
to the point of fracture and the string was lost downhole. This PIB is to notify customers how this can
occur and to make users aware of which slips are designed for which ram bodies.
Upon engineering review, it was determined that it is possible to install the 4.06 slip insert 2000-3044B
into the 5.12 ram body 2002-3777B. The 4.06 slip insert is not large enough to cover the ram bore of
the larger 5.12 BOPs. This could allow for the coil to be off center enough to where the 4.06 slip insert
will pinch and possibly shear the coil tubing.
When originally conceived the 5.12 slip ram and insert design was based off the 4.06 slip ram and insert,
where the insert was made larger to accommodate the larger ram bore to ensure no pinching of the coil
tubing if off center. The recess and retention system for the insert remained the same allowing for the
possibility of the wrong inserts being installed. Illustrations of the slip inserts are seen in the figures
below.

Product Information Bulletin
Solution
To ensure the slip inserts for the 4.06 and 5.12 (or any other slip sizes) do not get mixed up is to confirm
the correct part numbers are being used. This can always be located in the accompanying tech manuals,
bill of materials, trace sheets, databooks or part number descriptions as well as physical size differences.
Each ram body and each slip insert for the 4.06 or 5.12 have their own unique part numbers and
assembly numbers for easy identification and differentiation between the parts.

Solution
To ensure the slip inserts for the 4.06 and 5.12 (or any other slip sizes) do not get mixed up is to confirm
the correct part numbers are being used. This can always be located in the accompanying tech manuals,
bill of materials, trace sheets, databooks or part number descriptions as well as physical size differences.
Each ram body and each slip insert for the 4.06 or 5.12 have their own unique part numbers and
assembly numbers for easy identification and differentiation between the parts.

Subject: New method of Slip Retention (top ram body vs. side ram body)
Affected Assemblies: All Models - 10K: 3.06” EH, EC, EK & ES; 4.06” EH, EC & ES; 5.12” EH & EC
15K: 3.06” & 4.06” ES
Objective
Awareness of new design pipe/slip ram bodies and slip inserts with upper locking screws. This Product
Information Bulletin shall also serve as a secondary notice for the Obsoletion of Product Improvement
Notice (1000011850-PIN).
Description
Field failures have been reported regarding slip inserts with the side retention method design.
Side loading created by the locking screws each side of the ram and slip insert have resulted in instances
where cracking of the slips occur. TOT has tested these slips to 80% of the pipe body yield without
cracking; do not exceed 80% of the pipe body yield on slips with side retention screws. During
continued use of these slips, monitor with a visual and/or magnetic particle examination after each job
(slip areas to inspect referenced on page 4).
Solution
To correct the issue, TOT is replacing the affected slip inserts (side retention method design only) with
new designed slip inserts and upper locking screws. Existing Ram bodies may be reworked to accept the
upper retention lock screws. The continued use of original design field proven slips (single retention of
the spirolok ring) is acceptable as well.

5.12 8505 SHEAR/SEAL BLADE IMPROVEMENT
Affected Part: All 5.12” Shear/Seal Ram Blades; 8505-82**, 8505-81**, 8505-59**B, 8505-
57**B, 8505-59**, 8505-57**
Incident
Texas Oil Tools has been notified of incidents involving 5.12” shear seals blades exhibiting signs of cracks
in seal areas along the cutting edge post pressure test. The occurrence was typically related to lower
temperatures; however, cases were reported related to ambient temperature as well.
Description
Texas Oil Tools Engineering has performed an analysis on shear seal blades reported with crack like
indications and has determined the need to incorporate a lower durometer Viton in order to eliminate a
reoccurrence of this issue. Implementation of this change on part numbers 8505-57** and 8505-59**
will maintain current operating parameters, 40˚F (4.5˚C) to 350˚F (176.7˚C) with no required changes to
Tech Units. Compound implemented has been in use by TOT on other products and has performed as
well if not better than the Viton it is replacing. Effective implementation of this change will be noticed
on the label attached to the bag the blade comes in with a cure date of March 2019.
Additionally, we are introducing another Viton for lower temperature ranges when the need arises. Low
Temp Viton designed for a temperature range of -25°F (-31.7˚C) to 250°F (121.1˚C) will be designated as
8505-57**B and 8505-59**B.

Subject: DSA6 Stripper Packer Modified Change Cylinder to Accept Additional Seal
Objective
Description
In response to a one time isolated incident, Texas Oil Tools has revised the packer change cylinder
(9710-1923* Revision F) to accept an additional seal (M601015044) and to add a weep hole. The
purpose of this extra seal is to provide an additional barrier in an area of the piston that is not normally
exposed to wellbore pressure.
Resolution
All newly manufactured DSA6 Stripper Packers listed above will have the modified packer change cylinder
with extra seal and weep hole. All previously manufactured DSA6 Stripper Packers may be modified to
accept the new seal. This will only be done upon request. All seals kits will be capable of use for all DSA6
Stripper Packers, regardless of which packer change cylinder revision is installed.

Product Information Bulletin
Objective
Outline EIA product Bill of Material modification to reduce free space between lock piston Polypak rod
seals in seal carrier.
Issue
Field has reported accelerated wear to Polypak rod seals in seal carriers.
Investigation
Customer reported accelerated wear to Polypak rod seal while cycling actuator. It was
discovered that the damage could be caused by the seals “rolling” within the additional space
between the two rod seals in the seal carriers.
TOT has performed a series of cyclical loading tests using the spacer M1N1000655 between seals
P607821-1182J. The seal arrangement was tested and qualified per API 6A Annex F PR2. Testing
included 200 cycles, hydraulically closed with 5,000 psi, and hydraulically opened with 5,000 psi.
[Reference D1N1000658-REP-001 for testing details]
Page 1 of 6
Product Information Bulletin
Recommendations
This arrangement is considered a product improvement for the EIA series actuators. TOT recommends
the addition of the spacer, but it is not required as the original seal arrangement, with no spacer, was
tested and qualified per API 6A Annex F PR2. Also, TOT recommends that the Polypak seals are to be
replaced when the spacer (M1N1000655) is being added to the system.
The spacer has been added to take up the space between the two seals and prevent any “rolling” that
might occur.

Subject: Proper installation of Top Seal and Blade Seal in EGA Ram Assemblies
Objective
To notify all users of EGA BOP’s top seals and blade seal installation to improve product seal life.
Issue
Improper install of top seals and blade seal on M60EGA72-N72S caused premature wear. An incident
reported the top seals and blade seal had significant wear after minimal function tests and pressure tests.
The top seal and blade seal held pressure and functioned properly, but had to be removed upon inspection.
The inspection showed significant wear to the top seal and blade seal as seen in the pictures below.
Solution
TOT recommends that installation of seals be performed with the most updated version of EGA tech
manuals. Ram assembly manual D601015010-MAN-001 was created to clarify in detailed instructions, the
proper installation of EGA top seals and blade seal. EGA tech manuals have been revised to incorporate
updated ram installation procedure described in D601015010-MAN-001.

All 5" JHS Connectors
Reference
Tech Unit 1141
Discussion
Following a one-off malfunction of a 5" JHS Connector during routine operations, Texas Oil Tools
wishes to advise customers using such equipment of the problem and of the design modifications
which have been made to rectify this, to avoid any repetition of this problems.
The Malfunction: A 5" Lift Swivel which has been used regularly over several years, and has been
well maintained could not be made to fully engage and to latch.
The Explanation: Detail A is of the seal arrangement when the equipment is in a new condition
and shows how the seal retainer screws onto the stinger, and how it bottoms out then the
45Echamfer on the Acme thread contacts the 90E step on the stinger. This leaves a nominal gap
between the seal and the seal retainer, and also a gap between the nose of the stinger and the
seal retainer.
The problem as shown in Detail B was found to be that the seal retainer/guide was screwing too
far onto the stinger at assembly, and was squeezing the first seal. This seal was swollen outwards
and could not be made to enter the seal bore in the skirt, even when considerable force was used.
The Investigation: Revealed that over a period of time the 90E step on the alloy stinger had
gradually worn a groove into the 45E chamfer on the soft brass seal retainer. Each time the seal
retainer is screwed on, the groove is worn deeper and the seal retainer screws further onto the
stinger, until eventually the seal retainer starts to compress the top seal.
The Remedy: Has been to modify the seal retainer, changing the overall length and the thread
detail, so that it now bottoms out flat onto the top nose of the stinger, leaving adequate clearance
between the seal retainer and the top seal. This has been achieved by an engineering change
to drawing 8404-0121 changing it from Rev. A to Rev. B..
All new seal retainers will be supplied to Rev. B. These will be direct replacements for the original
parts (Rev. A). Revision A parts can still be used if they are in good condition using the
recommendations below, however, Texas Oil Tools would strongly recommend parts be returned
to be modified to Rev. B to avoid problems

P a g e | 4 of 4
Note: Revision A parts are identifiable by an overall length of 2.35"
Note: Revision A parts are identifiable by an overall length of 2.20"
Recommendations
Prior to each usage, check wthat there is a gap of approximately 1/32" or 1/16" between the seal
retainer/guide and the top seal.
When workloads permit, the seal retainer 8404-0121 Rev. A originally supplied should be returned
to Texas Oil Tools where it will be modified to 8404-0121 Rev. B to ensure that this problem will
not occur.
This applies only to units supplied before May 1993. Contact your TOT Salesman for further
details.

Product
All 4.06" 10M & 15M Quad BOP Slip Rams purchased since January 1995 with Slip part numbers
9206-2335 through 9206-2573.
Reference
Tech Manuals: 1185, 1211
Discussion
Recently, a customer reported an incident involving a 4.06" 10M Quad BOP slip ram in which the
weld between the slip insert and pipe guide separated, allowing the slip insert to fall down the
well.
The slip insert involved was an extended grip design with the tubing guide welded to the insert,
part number 9206-2337 for 1.25" diameter tubing.
Solution
Existing slip inserts can be drilled and pinned to anchor the guide to the insert to prevent
separation. To modify parts in the field, modification drawings are included with this bulletin. Parts
are to be modified to note 5 on each drawing using two pins, part number 9206-2421, for each slip
insert.
As an option to field modification, the slip inserts may be returned to Texas Oil Tools for
modification or, new slip inserts may be ordered and the faulty slips returned for credit.

All Texas Oil Tools 31/16" COMBI BOP's.
Discussion
It is possible to encounter a situation with 31/16" combi BOP's where the ram can be actuated to
the extended (closed) position, and can come off the guidance pin in the rambore. This could
cause problems on subsequent retraction if the ram were to have experienced any rotation.
No such problem has been reported and this PSB is issued as a proactive measure,
before any such problem should occur.
The original guide pin 8801-1439 Rev A was replaced by an improved pin (Rev B) in October
1995, (see PSB-029). The latest (Rev C) pin introduced in this PSB incorporates the advantages
of the Rev B pin while giving full guidance of the ram throughout it's entire stroke.
Recommendation
Drexel recommends that users of 31/16" combi BOP's should upgrade their BOP's immediately
with the replacement of guide pins as instructed below.
1. Remove all the actuators from the BOP by first removing the cap nuts which secure the
bonnets. For ease of access it may be beneficial to also remove the studs from the body
using a soft strap wrench.
2. Clean the pin and the rambore; then remove the pin taking great care not to damage the
rambore, the face of the BOP block onto which the bonnet seals, or the hole into which the
pin fits. To remove the pin may require that it be drilled and tapped so as to enable the use
of a dowel extractor.
3. Clean the hole out removing any corrosion or debris.
4. Install the replacement pins taking care to align them correctly (otherwise the rams will rub
on the pin excessively). A proprietary compound such as Loctite may be used to ensure
permanent installation.
5. Check the ram movement on the guide pin without the actuator in place and preferably
without the ram seals to ensure correct movement within the rambore over the pin.
6. If any drilling was performed to remove the old pins, ensure that the BOP internals are clean
and free of any swarf.
7. Re-assemble the BOP and hydraulically function all actuators to check correct operation.

DST4 and DST6 Texas Oil Tools Sidewinder Stripper Packer
Discussion
Excessive packer and bushing wear, leading to failure in the packer element. In our
study we have found problems with the packer and energizer. We are continuing our
investigation into the bushings and their life expectancy.
The ram change rods do not allow enough clearance to access the packer. The T-seal
on the manual caps are prone to damage during installation and disassembly.
Recommendation
We have redesigned the packer and energizer to increase their wear charactistics. The
new energizer has a brass ring on the upper section interlocking with the packer. This
brass ring prevents extrusion of the packer and the energizer. We have certain
locations that have run 140,000' through one set of packer and energizers. The packer
is a red, blue, and white interlocking packer. The colors must coincide with each other.
To prevent any confusion just remember red goes up.
To increase the life of the packers make sure the upper and lower bushings are not
worn too much. Texas Oil Tools recommends a maximum amount of wear of .100 inch
larger than the tubing outside diameter. For example if the coil tubing is 1.500 the
maximum inside diameter of the bushings should be 1.600 maximum. We have new
bushings that hold up better than the original equipment. The material on these is
aluminum bronze and is shown on the chart below.
Previous Changes: We have made longer ram change rods that allow more access
to change out the packer elements. The T-Seal must be replaced with an o-ring. See
Item 34 on drawing DST4-T002 rev. A.

All 3.06", "EL" Wireline BOP’s
Discussion
It is possible to encounter a situation with a 31/16", "EL" Wireline BOP where the wireline may
become trapped in the guides and pinch or cut. We have had one instance where wire was
actually cut. Tests have been duplicated in the shop where the guides do not allow the wireline
to move into the sealing slot in the ram. The wireline becomes lodged between the wireline
guide on one ram and the ram body.
The situation occured when the line was pulled to one side of the bore. Since there is no way
to determine if the line is centered during operations, all of the wireline valves must be inspected
for any sharp edges on the wireline guides.
Recommendation
Texas Oil Tools recommends that the rams be modified to the drawings shown below to prevent
this from occuring. This modification can be done in the field or the rams can be returned to
Texas Oil Tools for the necessary modification.
The main concern when modifying the guides on the rams is to remove any sharp edges that
might catch the wire.

Product: All Texas Oil Tools BOP’s equipped with Booster Cylinder Assemblies
installed on the Shear Ram Actuators
Operational Observation:
The possibility exists for partial closure of the Shear Rams if hydraulic
pressure is not maintained on the "open" side of the BOP actuators.
The check valve on the booster cylinder is mounted on the front of the
cylinder, 180E from the grease fitting. The purpose of this valve is to
allow the air to escape during closing operations of the shear rams. When
opening the rams the possibility exists for this chamber to act as a
vacuum. When the hydraulic pressure is released the ram has a tendency
to creep closed. When the shear ram moves any significant amount the
blades will project into the bore of the BOP. Tools will therefore catch on
the tip of the blades and break the blades.
Solution:
TOT is recommending that if the shear ram on your booster cylinder has
a tendency to move inward after the hydraulic pressure is released, the
check valve should be removed. Remove the check valve (TOT part
number 7934-8404) and replace it with a breather element (TOT part
number 7912-2551). TOT will discontinue the use of the check valves on
the Boosters and begin using the breather. The breather will not prevent
water or moisture from getting into this chamber; therefore it will be more
important now to maintain the grease in this chamber. The correct way
to fill this chamber with grease is to close the actuator and then fill the
chamber with grease until it starts to come out of the breather. Open the
actuator and the grease will now have a coating on all of the surfaces in
the chamber.

Texas Oil Tools 3.06 Quad Blowout Preventer
Incident:
The heavy wall coiled tubing has expanded and reached a point where our blades are not sufficient. We
have had two incidents where the shear blades have broken when trying to cut 1.75" .203 wall and 2.00"
.190 wall coiled tubing.
We have just finished testing new shear blades on the heavy wall coiled tubing. We have come up with a
blade design that will fit into the existing 2.00" ram bodies and will cut the full range of tubing from 1.00"
through 2.00" .203 wall. Effective November 01, 1997 all 3.06" quad blowout preventers manufactured
by TOT will be supplied with these new rams.
The following table is a list of the new assembly numbers and details for the new ram assemblies. Drawing
EC3R-T001 shows how to identify if the Ram is a 2.00" ram body or a 1.75" ram body. All the dimensions
are the same except for the radius cut for the coiled tubing. The 2.00" blades will fit the 1.75" Rams but
it will not cut the 2.00" coiled tubing. Please make sure you have the correct rams when using these blades.

Equalizing Valve Seat
Reference
All "EL" BOPs. Tech Manuals: 1155 & 1156.
Discussion
The Valve Seat (Part No. 8809-0127) in early style Rams were installed with a NPT pipe thread.
With wear, the make up position of the Valve Seat may change. The tapered pipe thread may also
be over-torqued, causing difficulty in removal with the small size Allen wrench.
Reference Drawing #9005-2293.
The design was changed in July 1991 to include a new Valve Seat (Part No. 8809-0147), utilizing
a #5 SAE straight thread with O-Ring. This is a shoulder type fitting, eliminating the positioning,
over-torquing, and removal problems at assembly .
Reference Drawing #9005-2293 rev A.
Since Rams can be moved to various BOPs, the serial number of the BOP can not be relied upon
to determine the type of Valve Seat in the Ram. Inspect the Ram to determine if it has an O-Ring
on the Valve Seat.
Seals Kits must be ordered by specific number to assure that the desired Seals Kit is delivered.
Note that Seals Kit part numbers ending in 0 have the old style NPT thread Valve Seat. Seals Kit
part numbers ending in 2 have the new type Valve Seat with O-Ring.

3.06 Quad BOP, Shear Rams, & Booster Cylinders
Reference
Tech Manual 1184
Discussion
The O.D., Wall thickness, and Yield strength, and material used in coiled tubing continues to
increase. In many cases it has increased beyond the capacity of the hydraulic system on the
coiled tubing unit.
Extensive testing on Shearing Coiled Tubing was performed at the Conroe factory. The results
have been tabulated and are presented here for your convenience. All tests were conducted at
zero well pressure. Separate tests were conducted to confirm the additional pressure required to
close the rams under well pressure. In each case, where multiple cuts were made, the highest
observed pressure is the one shown. Wireline was placed inside the coiled tubing for many of the
cuts. Both 7/32 and 15/32 line was used, in every case the wireline cut at a lower pressure than
the tubing.
Column #4 records the part number of the Shear Blade used in the test. Part numbers 8011-3535,
8011-3537, 8011-3541 & 8011-3544 are the original style blades furnished with the 3.06 Quad
BOP. Part number 8011-5536 and 8011-5545 are the new (1992) Multi-Cut/Multi-Size Shear
Blades. The 8011-5545 blade cuts all sizes of wireline and coiled tubing through 1.75" coil tubing.
This new blade is to be used only with the 1.75" Shear Ram Bodies, 8011-3644 and 8011-3744.
The 8011-5536 blade is a direct Multi-Cut/Multi-Size replacement for the existing 8011-3535,
8011-3537 and 8011-3541 shear blades used to cut 1.00"- 1.50" coil sizes, and fits the existing
Shear Ram Bodies, 8011-3642 and 8011-3742. No modification is required.
Column #3 records the type of material, 70, 80, or 100,000 yield. As additional samples of the
higher strength material, and/or heavier wall thickness, becomes available this tabulation will be
amended.
Column #5 records the hydraulic pressure required to cut the tubing (with zero well pressure).
This is with the original 3" hydraulic cylinders, (no Booster). Column #6 adds the hydraulic
pressure required to overcome a well pressure of 5,000psi. Column #7 adds the hydraulic
pressure required to overcome the force of 10,000psi well pressure.
Column #8 EH34-BC01 Booster, does not require changing any BOP parts, limited hydraulic
pressure, not certified for DNV. Hydraulic pressure shown is that required when the well pressure
is 10,000 psi.

This conversion is type approved by DNV for service -32C. The hydraulic pressure shown is the
pressure required when the well pressure is 10,000 psi. This unit is designed for hydraulic
pressure of 3,000 psi W.P. and 4,500 psi test.
Column #10 EH34-BC05L, requires changing the Rod with Ram Guide, Piston, and Piston Guide.
This conversion is type approved by DNV for service -32C. The hydraulic pressure shown is the
pressure required when the well pressure is 10,000 psi. This unit is designed for hydraulic
pressure of 1,500 psi W.P. and 3,000 psi test.
Refer to the appropriate Tech Manual for operating, ordering information, and part numbers for
the BOP Ram Assemblies, and Booster Assemblies.
Column #11 lists the net force delivered to the blade; therefore, this force remains constant
regardless of changing well pressure.
Column #12 lists the cross sectional area of the wall of the coiled tubing.
Column #13 F/As indicates the shear stress for the particular pipe/blade combination.
The last three columns can be used to approximate the pressure required to cut tubing that is not

The original Shear Ram Bodies were designed for one size Ram Body to accept three different
Shear Blades for 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50 coiled tubing. A different Shear Blade was required for
each size coiled tubing. We did not anticipate 1.75 coiled tubing.
Designing the Shear Rams for 1.75 coiled tubing required changing the location of the retaining
bolt, therefore the blades for 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50 do not fit the Ram Body for 1.75. Ram Bodies
for 1.75 are part #8011-3744 R.H. and 8011-3644 L.H.
This new Shear Blade 8011-5536 fits the original Ram Body Part #8011-3742 R.H. & 8011-3642
L.H., and cuts the sizes of pipe 1.00, 1.25 or 1.50 with or without wireline. It should not be used
to cut 1.75.
The new Shear Blade 8011-5545 fits only the Ram Bodies part #8011-3744 R.H. and 8011-3644
L.H. for 1.75, however it is suitable for cutting all sizes tubing 1.00, 1.25, 1.50 and 1.75 with or
without wireline.
Unless otherwise specifically ordered to the contrary, all 3.06 BOPs shipped after 1 May 92 will
be equipped with Ram Bodies 8011-3744 R.H. and 8011-3644 L.H. and Shear Blade 8011-5545.
When ordering Shear Blades REMEMBER:
Part #8011-5536 cuts 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50, and fits only Ram Bodies 8011-3742 and 8011-3642.
Part #8011-5545 cuts 1.00, 1.25, 1.50 and 1.75, and fits only Ram Bodies 8011-3744 and 8011-
3644.

NOTE: As illustrated, the beveled side of the blade faces away from the head of the Cap Screw.
The sharper edge faces toward the head of the Cap Screw, and will be to the center of the Ram
Body.
Both types of blades cut wireline equally well, and make multiple cuts. Only the Blade changes,
the Ram Body does not change. The new blade 8011-5536 cuts all sizes of tubing from 1.00" dia.
through 1.50" dia. and replaces the old blades 8011-3535, 8011-3537 and 8011-3541. The new
blade 8011-5545 will cut 1.00" dia. through 1.75" dia. tubing, but requires using the 1.75" Shear
Rams 8011-3644 and 8011-3744. This blade replaces the old 8011-3544 shear blade. The cut
tubing is a star shape, but the O.D. is even less oversized than the older blade cut, resulting in
easier fishing. The I.D. is not restricted, permitting circulation.

2" Hammer Union Check Valve
Reference
Tech Unit 1206
Discussion
It has come to Texas Oil Tool’s attention that during continued field operation of this equipment,
certain minor problems have occurred. Texas Oil Tools wishes to inform customers of the design
modifications initiated to rectify the problems and prevent their recurrence.
Problems
The problems which have occurred with this equipment are as follows:
1. The threads on the pin sub (item 2 on layout 9424-1820, attached) have suffered from pitting
and corrosion, due either to failure of the seal or water entrapped after external high pressure
washing.
2. The internal hexagons in the vent valve stems have been ringed and made inoperable.
Design Modifications
The design modifications initiated to rectify the operating problems have been made while
retaining the same overall configuration and equipment interchangeability. Refer to the layout
attached.
Change of seal type - The seals in both the pin sub and seal sleeve (4) have been replaced by o-
rings (21), suitable for H2S Service. The valve body (1) retains the same seal bore diameter and
tolerances, thereby permitting continued use of the original design. The only minor modification in
the valve body is a 0.1" diameter weep-hole introduced to bleed away pressure in the event of
seal failure.
As an additional feature a dust collar (11) and o-ring (23) have been introduced to prevent or
significantly reduce the ingress of water from high pressure hosing.
In order to prevent continued degradation of the socket in vent valve stems, the design has been
modified while retaining the material and heat treatment procedures.

PSB-019-PIB
Rev / B
P a g e | 4 of 4
In the new vent valve stem (8), an external hexagonal drive is located into a stainless steel vent
valve handle (9), both of which are secured by an internal socket head grubscrew (18). The
addition of the handle to the vent valve increases the overall height by 0.6" in the closed position.
General
The operation of the 2" Hammer Union Check Valve remains unchanged after the design
modifications.
The design changes are compatible with the original assembly and the parts are interchangeable.
Although it is anticipated that the equipment’s operation will be better for the design changes,
maintenance should be performed regularly. All sealing faces and perishable items should be
checked and replaced as necessary, thereby improving the longevity of the equipment. New seals
kits (FU14-SK02 and EVA4-S000) and tool kit (FU14-SKC2) will be available through our sales
offices for refurbishment of the valves.
All the design changes to the 2" Hammer Union Check Valve are documented in the Tech Unit
1245,
copies of which are available through Texas Oil Tools Sales offices.

Equalizing Valve Bonnet (P/N 7808-1422L)
Reference
All BOPs
Discussion
Recently we have encountered what we believe to be a one-off occurrence where the internal
thread of an Equalizing Valve Bonnet was tapped all the way through. This meant that the
equalizing valve stem could be screwed right out of the assembled valve, this would then have
allowed well bore fluids to escape to the atmosphere, (fortunately the problem was detected
during assembly and no harm was done).
As stated above, we believe that this is a one-off occurrence and have taken the necessary steps
to prevent a repeat, however, we feel that all users of the equipment should be aware of the
potential risk and advise them to inspect all equipment in the field, as well as any stock they might
be carrying.
The sketch below illustrates the problem area and how it should be threaded. Note: Most valves
will have marks from the tap. If you are uncertain as to whether the bonnet is acceptable or not
then try screwing a valve stem (part no. 7808-1426D) through the bonnet. If any defective bonnets
are found, please contact Texas Oil Tools directly.

2.50" Quad BOP, Slip Ram Guide for 1.50" Tubing
Reference
Tech-1077-MAN
Discussion
Recently a customer reported that the slip rams in a 21/2" quad BOP were found to have crimped
the tubing. This occurred when the lip rams were closed before the pipe rams, and the slip ram
guide failed to guide the tubing into the slip. The slip guide was observed to be worn and slightly
deformed.
An improved guide is available, as a simple bolt on replacement part, to avoid any risk of crimping
the tubing. This improved guide has a much longer guide arm on it, which gives much better
guidance/centralization of the tubing.
Recommendation
1. Pipe rams are closed prior to slip rams.
2. All slip ram guides are inspected and replaced with the improved guide.
Part No. for the new guide is 8010-2726 Rev. b (1.50" coiled tubing)
Part No. for the old superceded guide is 8010-2726 (no Rev. level stamped)
Note: Part Nos. are clearly stamped on the parts.
Note: All new units shipped after 1995 have the guide and slip as an integral part. You
should be using the new slip and guide assembly.

4.06" Hydraconns (Lock Dogs p/n 9106-1025, B or L)
Reference
Tech Unit 1180A & 1173A
Discussion
Recently a number of cases of 4.06" Hydraconns disconnecting while under pressure have been
reported to Texas Oil Tools. It appears that the reason for this occurrence has been that the units
were not properly connected in the first place. This can be partially attributed to the return springs
not having sufficient reserve capacity to fully return the sleeve and hence lock the dogs in place,
this situation is accentuated by surface corrosion and grime building up in the moving parts
leading to increased friction. The other factor related these disconnections is that when supplied
the Hydraconns have a visual arrangement which is painted in contrasting colors so that the
operator can clearly see whether the sleeve has traveled fully or not. On the units which have
been returned because they have disconnected the contrasting section has been oversprayed
making it very difficult to assess at a distance how far the indicator has moved.
1. Texas Oil Tools will free-issue new, higher strength springs to all users.
2. Users are reminded that regular maintenance and lubrication of their Hydraconn is essential
in order to keep all moving parts operating freely.
4. Operators must be sufficiently familiar with the equipment and be in a position to be able to
observe the visual indicator so as to see whether the Hydraconn is fully latched or not.
This applies only to units supplied before August 1995. Please contact your TOT salesman for
further information.

Discussion
Recently reported instances of Hydraconns unlatching while under pressure has highlighted a
potential risk in the use of the equipment.
The most likely cause for the Hydraconns unlatching is that they were not properly connected
before pressure was applied. It is therefore necessary that they operators fully understand the
operation of the Hydraconns indicator system and use this to check that the stinger is fully latched
before any hydrostatic pressure is applied.
Attached are a set of drawings which depict the indicator system for each size of hydraconn. The
operator must be fully familiar with these in addition, we recommend that the following check list
trouble shooting guide is followed.
1. Prior to rig-up the hydraconn should be functioned both with and without a stinger installed. At
this time the operator must satisfy himself that the sleeve travels fully to lock the dogs in place.
2. If the hydraconn appears no to latch, there are two potential reasons for this happening.
(i) Debris/corrosion has built up on the moving parts within the hydraconn to the extent that
they springs are not to overcome the friction force. In this case the unit must be stripped,
cleaned and inspected.
(ii) There may be insufficient weight acting on the stinger to allow the dogs/sleeve to fully latch.
This problem is especially prevalent when using a lift/test cap since this has very little weight
(100 - 150 lbs. Dependant on the size of hydraconn) but obviously the consequences of this
cap blowing-out due to improper latching are extremely hazardous.
3. Once the hydraconn is installed in the stack, always double check that it has fully latched
after each reconnection.
Remember: The hydraconn is intended to allow quick connection/disconnection of the stack, but
like all pressure control equipment, it must be thoroughly checked and maintained.

All 3" Combi BOPs
Reference
Tech Unit 1127B, 1213E (Hydraulic Cap p/n 8801-1422 and 8801-1422G)
Discussion
In normal operation with the rams in place, the BOP will operate correctly. A potential problem
does exist however, when the BOP is being serviced off the well.
In normal operation when the actuators are hydraulically retracted to bring the rams to the "open"
position, the actuator stops moving when the ram bottoms out in the back of the bonnet. At this
point the piston within the actuator has not bottomed out against the hydraulic cap/sleeve nut.
This is as intended.
When the BOP is being serviced, it may be that the actuators will be stroked with the rams
removed. This then means that since the rams will not stop the actuator movement by bottoming
out in the bonnet, the actuator will retract slightly further. Unfortunately it has been observed that
the indicator will actually bottom out in the hydraulic cap before the piston contacts the hydraulic
cap/sleeve nut. The force which can be generated by the piston is sufficient to bend the indicator
rod in this situation.
Note that this only affects these BOPs when they are being stroked with the rams removed.
Remedy
1. Never stroke the actuator even during servicing without the rams being installed.
2. The hydraulic caps can be simply modified (in situ on the assembled BOP) to extend the
clearance hole for the indicator rod. A drawing is attached.
Note that this problem was first noticed on new BOPs supplied during March/April 1996 which
were all then modified as per 2. as were all units shipped after June 1996.
Also, the hydraulic cap drawing has now been revised so that any new equipment will not be
affected.

All Slip Ram Assemblies 4.06", 10K, Quad and Combi BOPs
Reference
Tech Units 1128B, 1185, 1211, 1227, 1231
Discussion
The slips used in 4.06" Quad and Combi BOPs have been redesigned and improved over time, and the
inevitable part number changes have led to confusion. The situation with respect to interchangeability of
parts has also until how been unclear. This Product Service Bulletin is intended to clarify this situation.
This bulletin covers slip ram assemblies for both 4.06" Quad and Combi BOPs since many of the
components are common to both. The non-deforming (N.D.) slip ram assemblies are currently the
preferred option offered by Texas Oil Tools. These N.D. slip ram assemblies are therefore the items which
will be held in stock, all other older options will only be manufactured to order. N.D. slips for a 4.06" quad
are detailed on page 2 and for the 4.06" Combis are detailed on page 3. This bulletin also contains
historical reference information on all previous 4.06" quad slip assemblies on page 4 and on all previous
Combi slip assemblies on page 5. This PSB supercedes PSB 13.
The main difference between a 4.06" Combi BOP and a 4.06" Quad BOP which affects the slip ram
assemblies is that the Combi BOP uses a ram guide stud to stop ram rotation whereas the quad uses
guidance within the actuator.. The Combi rams therefore have a slot in the bottom of the ram.
Recently a new generation of slip has been developed, the non-deforming (N.D.) slip. This uses pyramid
style teeth but is much longer and therefore has a much larger contact area. This extended contact slip
insert is designed to minimize deformation of thin wall coiled tubing when operating at higher BOP
hydraulic control pressures. This might be the case when running a tapered string that would require
setting the hydraulic pressure higher to cut the heavy wall pipe, but the higher pressure with the previous
type slip inserts could excessively deform the coiled tubing.
N.D. slips were initially introduced for 4.06" Quad BOPs via Product Service Bulletin PSB-013 Rev. B, in
February 1995. The PSB covered only Quad BOPs and detailed the slips required for retrofitting to
existing slip ram bodies using an adapter on the lower sizes (up to 1.75"). This is still acceptable and can
also now be done on 4.06" Combi BOPs.
PSB-013 also covered N.D. slip ram assemblies for Quad BOPs for 2" to 27/8" tubing using a complete new
ram assembly. These ram assemblies are still valid and included in the lists of assemblies on page 2.

Discussion
The possibility exists for partial closure of the BOP Rams if hydraulic pressure is not maintained
on the “open” side of the BOP actuators by locking the BOP hydraulic control valve in the “Open
BOP Rams” position.
Residual hydraulic pressure may be trapped on either side of the BOP actuator piston when
shifting a 4-way hydraulic control valve, regulating the Rams, to the “Neutral” position. This
residual pressure and/or any leakage in the 4-way valve, creates a differential force on the “Close
Ram” side due to the additional booster piston. This trapped pressure can cause the rams to
creep towards the “closed” position and partially restrict the vertical wellbore through the BOP
Solution
As a safety precaution, all BOP control valves should be locked in the “Open BOP Rams” position
at all times during coiled tubing operations until it becomes necessary to shut the rams to shear
tubing, or to seal the wellbore annulus. During closure of the rams, the control valves should be
locked in the “Close BOP Rams” position as well, to assure continued closure force on the rams
maintaining sealing integrity during wellbore pressure fluctuations.

All 4.06" 10,000 PSI Texas Oil Tools Model EH and EC Quad BOPs containing Piston Rods with Guides,
part number 8412-2843.
Reference
Tech Manuals: 1185 & 1211
Discussion
Recently, a customer reported two incidents involving their 4.06" 10M Quad BOP in which the
Piston Rods with Guides fractured during operations in a particularly corrosive field. Extensive
metallurgical and atmospheric SSC testing has been performed on samples taken from the
fractured parts which confirm the components failed due to sulfide stress cracking.
This design has performed well in various hostile environments for over twelve years, with no
previously reported failures. This case may be an isolated incident unique to the geographical
area involved but, it should be noted that the right combination of temperature, low PH level, and
high percentage concentrations of H2S and chlorides may attack certain NACE approved
materials, precipitating an SSC failure.
Solution:
The 8412-2843 Piston Rod with Guide has been redesigned as a one-piece component,
compared to the previous two-piece, press fit rod it replaces. Due to the one-piece configuration,
the stress levels in the rod have been reduced approximately 55%, improving it's resistance to
SSC.
As part of Drexel's commitment to quality assurance, the 8412-2843 Rods with Guides may be
replaced, at the customer's discretion, with the newer design piston rods. The new one-piece
piston rods may be ordered as part number 8412-2841.
To those customers with 4.06" Model EC or EH BOPs less than two years old, the replacement
rods will be issued to them by placing an order for the required number of replacements from
Drexel. Once the BOPs have been retrofitted with the new replacement rods, the existing 8412-
2843 stainless rods should be sent back to Drexel for credit. Return of the older design rods, with
the serial numbers of the units from which they were removed, will be recorded to verify that all
original 8412-2843 Rods with Guides have been removed from service.
Additionally, in cases where the BOP equipment may be exposed to severely hostile well
environments, a one-piece piston rod manufactured from Inconel 718 is available, part number
8412-2839. These piston rods would be the preferred alternative for use in highly corrosive
environments containing high concentrations of H2S in combination with chlorides and/or low PH
levels.

Reference
Tech Manual: 1282C
Discussion
Recently, a customer reported a failure on a JIC2-RS00 assembly whereafter previous repeated
successful use, the connector dropped a stack of equipment when it appeared that it had
connected properly.
After simulating field latching conditions in the workshops at TOT Conroe, a similar connector was
latched and unlatched in methods which would prevent correct connection. Firstly, the tool was
latched with spacers on one side forcing the tool to be partially latched on one side and with only
the dogs gripping the lower flange OD on the other side. Secondly, the tool was latched with
spacers all around forcing all the dogs to be only gripping on the lower flange OD. In both cases
the connector was able to pick-up a weight of 1500lbs, and may have managed more had we not
ended the test.
We concluded from this test that this is what happened in the recent field failure.
Solution
A new visual position indicator has been added to the housing of the connector that will show very
clearly when the connector is latched or unlatched. When it is latched properly, the indicator is
flush with the OD. When it is not latched properly, the indicator will be positioned between 45-90
degrees from the OD. See attached drawing JIC3-Q003 for details.
In operation, all customers should include a check of the the indicator position prior to continuing
rig-up. All assemblies should be returned to TOT Conroe for modification at each customers
earliest convenience. In the meantime, great care and caution should be employed to try and
ensure the connector is properly latched each time it is operated in the field. Once the units are
submitted for modification, these can be returned to service within one week of receipt.

All Texas Oil Tools Side Door Stripper Packers 2.50 10M DS74
Operational Observation:
An o-ring failed during a function test. This occurred after the Stripper Packer had been
left idle for a few months. The o-ring that failed was exposed to hydraulic pressure on
one side and was opened to atmosphere on the other side. The side opened to the
atmosphere was dry and caused the o-ring to stick to it. This made the o-ring roll until
it eventually ripped in two or started to leak.
Solution:
Texas Oil Tools has replaced the o-ring with a T-seal. The T-seal has a lower coefficient
of friction and a different cross section. The cross section will prevent the seal from
rolling and causing any problems. The T-seals are slightly harder to assemble because
of the two back-up rings however, we feel this is an improvement to the tool that will
prevent any similar leaks. The new seal will be included in all of the new equipment and
in all of the seal kits.
Cross section of the T-seal with the back-up rings. The back-up rings are split and one
fits on either side of the seal.

Subject Matter
Slip ram assemblies for coiled tubing operations: We have undergone several months of design
and testing to come up with a new design slip that will perform under any given conditions. What
has transpired from our testing is a new “Wedge” slip insert design. The “Wedge” slip insert is a
bi-directional slip designed to maximize the gripping area and bite into the tubing as weight is
applied. The “Wedge” design has tapers that force the slips into the coiled tubing.
The test results just completed on the range of 1.25 through 2.00 QT-1000 coiled tubing. The
BOP and slips performed excellently and held the coiled tubing after simulation of a loss of
hydraulic pressure. The BOP was closed with 1500 psi hydraulic pressure and the manual locks
were shut. The hydraulic pressure was then bled to zero and a pull test was done on the coiled
tubing. The tests were conducted to at least 90% of the yield strength of the coiled tubing with no
slippage.
Holding the coiled tubing is a crucial key to successful coiled tubing operations. We recommend
that the manual locks be closed on the BOP when the slips are set. This will ensure they will hold
in the event of a loss of hydraulic pressure. The following should serve as a checklist for
inspecting and using the TOT slip rams.
A. Make sure the slips are in good condition; .03 flat on the gripping edge or crest of the teeth
on the slip insert is insufficient. The insert must be replaced.
B. The slips must be closed with hydraulic pressure to ensure they will hold, minimum
hydraulic pressure required is 1500psi.
C. Manually lock the slips by turning the handwheel closed and locking it in with a pipe
wrench.
If these three steps are followed when you are using the slips and maintaining your BOP, you can
feel safe they will hold as intended. Safety is the most important issue, we suggest that you use
a backup set of slips above the stripper packer for another means of preventing a failure.
Parts Breakdown:
The following table is a list of the new ram assemblies for the 3.06 Quad. The new “Wedge” slips
are currently available from Texas Oil Tools. We highly recommend you use these ram
assemblies on any unit that is running QT-1000. We are planning to make this new ram our
standard in the near future. We are currently building stock to meet all of your needs.

Texas Oil Tools 7.06, 5,000psi Annular Blowout Preventer
Incident:
We have had an incident reported concerning the removal of the piston in the Annular Blowout Preventer.
If the top is removed from the BOP and the piston is pumped up using hydraulic pressure the potential
exists to lock the piston up. This happens when the piston seal comes out of the seal bore, not enough
bearing area remains in the body of the tool to hold the piston straight. The piston may cock and get wedged
in the body. When this happens it is very difficult to remove the piston. The piston must first be straightened
and then pulled out of the body.
Texas Oil Tools feels this may happen again and we would like to prevent this from happening. We have
developed a piston removal and installation tool designed to assist in maneuvering the piston in and out of
the body.

Tech Manuals 1170, 1181B, 1182, 1183B, 1207, 1223, 1233, 1321A
Discussion
The possibility exists that an operator may apply excessive hydraulic operating pressure to the
pack-off, that could result in the collapse of the coiled tubing, even with zero wellhead pressure.
A reported incidence of coiled tubing collapse during pressure tests has warranted notification of
possible circumstances where high wellhead and hydraulic pressures may cause the tubing to
collapse in the Stripper Packer.
The circumstances related to this incident involves a 2.50" 10M Model DS74 Side Door Stripper
and DT74 Tandem Side Door Stripper, both dressed for 1.75" QT 800, .109" wall coiled tubing.
With a lubricator test pressure of 5,000 psi, approximately 2500 psi hydraulic pressure was
applied
to the upper pack-off. After completion of a successful test period, the 5,000 psi test pressure was
dumped, creating a pressure imbalance and ensuing tubing collapse at the upper packer contact
area. It was concluded that the high hydraulic pack-off pressure created an excessive external
force that resulted in the collapse of the tubing.
Solution
An extensive testing program was conducted at the Drexel-Conroe plant replicating the same
operational criteria as the aforementioned incident. These tests were conducted on a variety of
tubing sizes and wall thicknesses using several qualifying parameters including, tubing ovality,
external pressure and hydraulic pack-off pressure. The results of these tests have yielded enough
preliminary data to assimilate a conservative formula for determining an acceptable limit to the
maximum hydraulic pressure that should be applied to the pack-off. This data is based on the
published collapse pressures of QT-700 tubing, and would only apply to coiled tubing that still
meets the tubing manufacturer's minimum quality requirements, with a maximum ovality of 5%.
The following typical graph is based on these conditions, and the following formula.
External Well PSI/Area Ratio of Packoff from Tech Manual = Min. Hyd. PSI to Packoff
Internal C.T. PSI + Rated Collapse PSI) 0.9 Safety Factor = Max. Hyd. PSI to Packoff

The accompanying typical graph is for illustration and to be used as reference only. The operator
should determine the maximum force to apply to the stripper based on the individual conditions
related to each job. In each case, applying only the minimum hydraulic pressure to pack-off, and
reducing the hydraulic pressure as well/test pressure is relieved, will reduce the possibility of
collapsing the coiled tubing. It should be noted that tubing tension is also an important variable
that should be taken into account when determining maximum hydraulic pressure.

Texas Oil Tools Locking Collar
Operation
The Texas Oil Tools locking collar design on the quick union enables a quick union to be used on
a tool without having an additional o-ring seal. The locking collar is a special design collar that,
when used, provides the necessary shoulder for the union nut to tighten up against.
The locking collar is assembled with a thread sealant (liquid o-ring 104) that will prevent corrosion
from damaging the threads. We have been using this thread sealant for about three years and
we feel it has reduced the amount of corrosion build-up on the threads. Thread sealants may not
be available during normal wireline or coiled tubing applications so if you do not have the thread
sealant you will have to use Anti-seize on the threads and silicone on each end. CAUTION: THIS
THREAD MUST BE INSPECTED WHEN THE REST OF THE EQUIPMENT IS INSPECTED ON
A REGULAR BASIS. AS A MINIMUM THE LOCKING COLLAR MUST BE REMOVED ONCE A
YEAR AND THE THREADS INSPECTED.
If for some reason the locking collar on your piece of equipment is not tight please remove the
locking collar. The locking collar is removed by reaching through the holes in the union nut with
a ½” diameter rod and finding a corresponding hole in the locking collar. Unscrew the locking
collar by turning clockwise (this is a left-hand thread). Remove the locking collar and union nut.
Clean all of the threads and inspect them thoroughly. If the threads are damaged the parts must
be repaired or replaced.
Get a can of Anti-Seize and a tube of silicone gasket sealant ready; apply the Anti-Seize
compound to the threads. Place the union nut on the tool in the correct position, thread the locking
collar on the body. You may have to reach through the holes in the union nut to tighten the locking
collar. Tighten to 150-300ft-lbs. The locking collar will hold the union nut in place.
Apply the silicone to both ends of the locking collar; see drawing CO34-T002 for the proper places
to apply the silicone. Allow the proper time for the silicone to cure. The equipment is now ready
to use.

PSBL-4.06 10K EH/EC QUAD PISTON
Product:
Texas Oil Tools 4.06” 10M “EC & EH” Quad Blowout Preventer
Incident:
We have had three incidents reported within the past year of a malfunction of the hydraulic
actuator assembly. These incidents are not frequent but we would like to make everyone aware
of these in order to prevent further incidents from occurring. While functioning the actuator the
piston thread stripped out and the piston was separated from the piston rod.
These actuators were originally designed for a retract hydraulic pressure of 2,000psi. Over the
years we have changed the design parameters and we are currently specifying a hydraulic
pressure of 3,000psi retract and 3,000psi close. The increase working pressure exerts extra force
on this thread and can result in fatigue cracks in the threads. These fatigue cracks can lead to
stripping out the threads in the piston. Another contributing factor is if the thread is not made up
all the way on the piston rod. This reduces the amount of thread engagement and thus the
possibility of thread shearing.
Action:
TOT has reviewed the design of the actuators and we are recommending the following course of
action:
2. You inspect the threads of the piston and see signs of fatigue.
Please contact the TOT office that you purchased the BOP from or contact TOT in Conroe
for replacement parts.

Texas Oil Tools 4.06” 10K “EC & EH” Quad Blowout Preventer
Texas Oil Tools 4.06" 10K “EC & EH” Triple Combi Blowout Preventer
Incident:
We have had two incidents reported within the past year of a malfunction of the Slip Ram
Assembly. These incidents are not frequent but we would like to make everyone aware of these
in order to prevent further incidents from occurring.
The incident involved a Slip Ram Assembly that had just been tested. The coiled tubing guide that
moves the coiled tubing into the gripping area of the slip insert separated from the slip insert. It
sheared the two retaining screws that hold the guide in place. This unit had never closed the slip
rams on coiled tubing, it was during the pressure test on the test mandrel that the guide was
broken. We have not been able to duplicate the action but it is our opinion that the ability of the
test mandrel to rotate forced the slip insert to rotate, and thus it sheared the retaining pins on the
tubing guide.
When the retaining screws shear, this leaves the slip insert in a vulnerable position to fall out of
the slip ram. This is the reason for the warning on these Slip Ram Assemblies.
Action:
TOT has spent time reviewing and testing the Slip Ram Assembly. We are therefore
recommending that you modify or replace the slip ram assembly with an anti-rotation insert. This
insert can be installed as a field modification or you can send in your Slip Ram Assembly to any
of the following offices to have the modification completed, TOT Conroe, TOT/SSR Aberdeen, and
TOT/EOT in Singapore. Any one of these locations can modify the slip ram assembly and your
slip inserts with the new anti-rotation insert.
The following drawings explain the field modification in detail. This is an easy modification that can
be done at a local field camp or machine shop. If you have any problems with the changes, please
contact your local TOT representative.
Effective May 1st all 4.06" TOT equipment that is built will have the new anti-rotation insert installed
in the slip ram. When the anti-rotation insert is installed in the ram all slip inserts that are used in
the ram must have the corresponding groove or hole in the slip to slide into the insert in the ram.
TOT is pursuing a one piece slip insert that will have the tubing guide machined or cast onto the
slip. This will prevent the retaining pins from shearing, by eliminating them, but not the rotation of
the slip. Please review the following procedure and drawing and have your TOT Slip Ram
Assembly modified.

Texas Oil Tools CB62 Locking Collar
Incident:
We had an incident in our shop with a BOP, manufactured in 1992, in which a locking collar was
stripped off of a BOP. The BOP was in our shop undergoing some repair work. During the factory
acceptance test, at the maximum test pressure of 10,000 psi, the locking collar thread was
stripped off and the tool was damaged. After a thorough investigation by a third party we have
concluded that the locking collar did not meet minimum hardness and tensile requirements. The
material did not meet our minimum requirements for a heat of steel.
The locking collar was from a batch of six that were made in 1992 from our UK office. The locking
collar part number is 8704-0931L.
Action:
TOT will inspect and replace any locking collar with the part number 8704-0931L and a trace
number of 11586. The locking collar is for a CB62 union. If you have a BOP, lubricator or other
pressure control equipment with this union, please have the locking collar inspected. The CB62
union is a 63/8" 5,000 psi union with 9.875-4 Acme (8.00 seal bore). If you received any pressure
control equipment that includes a CB62 union from TOT or Drexel, please have this equipment
inspected.
TOT will replace any locking collar that does not pass our inspection.

15K “ES” BOP
Incident:
An incident occurred in the field with a piston rod and the piston rod head. The piston rod head
sheared off while opening the rams. A restriction prevented the ram from retracting normally and
the load induced on the rod head sheared it off.
Action:
TOT will replace all of the rod heads with a new redesigned rod head and the addition of a ram
guide on certain actuators. This change effects every “ES” actuator. The blind, slip, and pipe
actuators on the quad require a new piston rod head and the ram guide. The shear actuator
requires a new Rod Head. Actuators on the shear seal require a ram guide and new piston rod,
and the pipe slip requires a new piston rod head.
This recall takes effect immediately please contact TOT immediately to have these parts replaced.
If the actuator parts can not be changed immediately please limit the hydraulic pressure to
1500psi
maximum to prevent any future problems until you can have the parts replaced.
Assembly of the Rod Head to the piston rod includes the use of Locktite 242 (Blue) for proper
performance. Two drops of this Locktite on the piston rod threads will ensure adequate adhesion.

Description: The ES pipe/slip ram can be installed on the actuator incorrectly resulting in damage to the
bonnet and/or ram guide during the bonnet closing sequence. One verified field incident has
been reported in which both BOP pipe/slip rams were not properly installed resulting in
damage to both bonnets.
The installation problem is a result of the rams appearing to be fully installed on the
actuator’s ram guide while, in fact, being misaligned with the ram bore by about ½”. The
improperly installed rams, in these cases, sit ½” too high on the ram guide. As the rams are
retracted into the bonnet during the hydraulic bonnet close sequence the misaligned ram
contacts the face of the bonnet causing severe damage to the bonnet face. As the ram
contacts the bonnet it begins to cock and if hydraulic pressure is not shut off immediately
the ram guide and piston rod can be damaged.
Cause:
The problem is caused by the ram’s compression pin contacting the top of the ram guide’s
rocker mechanism preventing full and proper installation (see Figure 1). This design has
been used successfully for many years in BOPs without the power ram change feature
without incident. Without the hydraulic forces of the power ram change system the
improperly installed rams are easily discovered and corrected by the technician as he
attempts to manually close actuators with misaligned rams.

Solution: The following steps should be taken to insure proper ram installation and minimize the
possibility of equipment damage.
1) Verify that the compression pin is flush with the back of the ram before installing it
on the ram guide (see Figure 2). A flush compression pin will insure that no
interference can occur with the rocker. A tap with a rubber hammer is all it takes to
make the pin flush.
2) Visually inspect the ram after installation to insure that it is fully seated on the ram
guide and not misaligned with the bonnet’s ram bore. A straight edge laid across
the top of the ram makes a good visual reference in determining proper ram
alignment.
3) To further reduce the likelihood of ram installation problems an improved ram guide (p/n
2001-0168) can be purchased and installed on the actuator. The new ram guide makes
it difficult to install the ram on the actuator without the compression pin being flush with
the back of the ram (reference step 1 above)

Injector Connector
Models JIC3-HH00, JIC3-BH00, JIC2-HH00
Discussion
After six years of trouble free service the first inadvertent disconnect of an indicator equipped TOT
injector connector was reported in October. The disconnect, which occurred in a Varco yard
during rig up testing, was a result of a latch indicator that failed to give a clear indication of the
latch’s position to yard personnel. A design change has been implemented that will give a clearer
indication of the latch position to crane operators and personnel on the ground.
Solution
A new indicator has been designed that will more accurately indicate the position of the lock dogs.
See the attached illustration. TOT has also included a second indicator on the tool. We feel these
changes can be made quite easily.
Procedure:
The housing and the indicator must be replaced. Please contact TOT sales in Conroe to have
these changes made.
Units in the field may still be operated safely, provided their indicators are functioning properly.
When the connector is opened the indicator must be at a 35° angle to the housing. When the
connector is closed it must be parallel with the housing. If the indicator works as discussed and
shown on the drawing the connector is working properly.

4.06” 10M EC and EH BOP
Including all Conventional Quad and Combi Actuators
Discussion
The hand wheels on the 4.06" 10M EH quad and combi BOPs are difficult to turn when the hydraulic
pressure applied exceeds 2500 psi to the closing side of the actuators.
Cause:
The problem was caused by a combination of the high hydraulic pressure applied (the hand wheels turned
easily with less than 1500 psi hydraulic pressure) and high bearing and seal friction. Bearing and seal
friction are proportional to the hydraulic pressure and are not excessive with hydraulic pressures below
1500
psi.
Solution:
Friction can be reduced to an acceptable level with the addition of a hytrel "washer" in the non-rising stem
assembly positioned between the stem seal and bearing stack. Washer part number 7821-1252-PIP.
Contact TOT Conroe for replacement parts if you are experiencing similar problems.
Procedure:
To add the Washer to the seal you will have to remove the hydraulic cap from the BOP. Take the existing
non-rising stem out of the cap and remove the existing polypak seal. The seal will normally remain in the
hydraulic cap so you may have to remove the seal from inside the cap. Installing the seal is easy, install
the washer with the flat side toward the pressure and then install the seal. The lip of the seal must face the
pressure.

Discussion
We have recently come across a situation that we need to make all aware of. We have had 3.06” Shear
Seal blades that have leaked during a pressure test. The blades were removed and inspected. Cracks in
the cutting surface large enough to be the cause of the leak were visibly seen. The blades were replaced
with a new set, the new set was pressure tested inspected and tested again with no further problems.
We have isolated the incident to one batch of shear blades. The trace number on the blades is 106800. If
you have any shear blades of this trace number please contact TOT for replacements. The trace number is
low stress stamped on the actual blades. You can find it on the back of the blades.
Solution
We are under investigation of this issue and do not have the answer at this time but we felt it was urgent
enough that we should advise you of the situation to prevent this from becoming a problem. Part numbers
of items involved in this issue are 8703-7345, 8703-7345D, 8703-7445, 8703-7445D, 8703-7745, and
8703-7845. If you have any of these items with the trace number stamped on the blades please let us
know.

7.06” 5M Annular BOP.
Discussion
Upon installation of new packer elements it has been observed that the affected 7.06” 5M annular BOPs
will not drift. That is, the packer element obstructs the ID bore of the BOP. The performance of the BOP is
not otherwise affected.
Cause
A change in the mold used to manufacture the packer element has resulted in a slightly taller
element. When installed, the bonnet (top) compresses the element resulting in a decreased ID.
Solution
The wear plate (p/n 9705-0121) should be replaced with a new or reworked wear plate (p/n 9705-0121
rev B). The revision B version of the wear plate is .225” +.015/-.000 thick compared to earlier versions
which were .625” thick. Existing screws will work with the revised wear plate.
Field locations with the old wear plates may request the revised model from TOT.

3.06” 10K Quad EK BOP (Slip and Shear Actuators Only)
Discussion
A recent field incident has been reported to Texas Oil Tools in which the locking stems of the
shear and slip actuators have been damaged. The damage was severe enough to prevent the
handwheel locks on the shear and slip actuators from functioning properly. The blind and pipe
actuators are not affected.
There are two versions of locking end cap for the large slip and shear actuators. The damage
occurred on the older of the two designs and likely took place in our own shop during high
pressure(4500 psi) hydraulic testing.
Solution
1) Identify if BOP is equipped with older end cap design. Consult the illustration below to determine if
your shear and/or slip actuators are equipped with the older end cap design. If measurements
determine that the new end cap design is installed then no action is required. If old end cap design is
determined to be installed then contact Texas Oil Tools for replacement parts. Note: Illustration
only applies to the shear and slip actuators.

2) When replacement parts arrive remove existing end cap assemblies from the BOP and
install new assembly as illustrated below. It may be necessary to time the end cap so that
the indicator can be easily seen from the ground. Remove material from surface “1” using a
lathe until desired indicator location (rotational orientation) is achieved.

Cable Side Entry Sub (CSES) Matched Clamp Plate Assembly
Incident
There has been one reported failure of a CSES Matched Clamp Plate Assembly (assy # 801-708-xxx,
where specific line size is stamped in place of “xxx”) in which the clamp plates failed to grip and suspend
the cable resulting in a dropped bottom hole assembly. In addition, other clamp plates with the failure
causing defect have been identified.
The Matched Clamp Plate Assembly includes one front clamp plate (407-070-xxx) and one rear clamp
plate (407-071-xxx) along with assorted hardware components.
Cause
Failure was caused by inadequate interference between the gripping teeth of the clamp plates and the
cable and was due to a manufacturing error. The manufacturing error was a missed or improperly
performed facing operation that occurred on at least several of the clamp plates.
Action
It is recommended that all Matched Clamp Plate Assemblies, assy # 801-708-xxx, be inspected by field
personnel to the attached inspection drawing. Assemblies determined to be defective should be
immediately returned to Texas Oil Tools for warranty replacement.

Product:
All DTS4 series tandem strippers. The DTS4 tandem stripper has a bore size of 4.06” and a working
pressure of 10,000 psi. It is designed for use as a secondary stripper/packer and was first put into service
in 1991.
Incident:
Texas Oil Tools was recently notified of the failure of a DTS4 main piston (item 14) during a rig up test
to 10,000 psi. While under pressure the piston retention mechanism (see items 27,28 and 14) failed
allowing the piston (item 14) to open and vent pressure to the atmosphere. Specifically, the failure
occurred when the retention shoulder of the piston (shoulder loaded by item 27) sheared under load.
The failure occurred during a test of the upper primary stripper packer. During such a test there would
normally be no load on the door retention mechanism as the piston is pressure balanced, and as such,
does not tend to move either up or down under the influence of wellbore pressure. However, the test was
conducted with a BHA larger than the CT diameter suspended on the CT string below the DTS4 stripper
that, under pressure, was forced upward against the stripper’s lower brass bushing (item 31). The
upward force on the lower bushing imparted by the BHA effectively packed-off the DTS4 tandem stripper
even though the operator had applied no pack-off pressure. The upward force generated by the now fully
energized packer (items 23 and 24), in the absence of any counterbalancing force from the pack-off
piston (item 14), was enough to shear the retaining shoulder of the piston (item 14).
Particularly susceptible to such a failure are those strippers equipped with piston p/n 9102-1025AB of
which only eight have been manufactured. The owners of these eight pistons (all manufactured after
November 2002) will have been identified and notified prior to the release of this Product Service Bulletin.
All other DTS4 tandem strippers were equipped with higher strength pistons that are susceptible to failure
only under the very specific circumstances described in the following table.
www.nov.com
PSB-063-PIB
Rev / A
P a g e | 4 of 5
NOTE: Any combination of wellbore pressure and pack-off pressure is a SAFE operating condition.
The table above assumes the presence of a an oversized BHA exerting an upward force on the
DTS4’s lower bushing (item 31) resulting in the unintended pack-off of the DTS4’s packing element
(items 23 and 24). Such a BHA (or flanged test rod) is most likely to be present during rig up tests,
but the possibility does exist for such a condition to exist during operations. The “tagging” of the
DTS4’s bottom bushing, for example, with a BHA during workover operations could result in an
UNSAFE operating condition if hydraulic retract pressure is applied during the tagging procedure.
Solution:
Those customers with one of the eight p/n 9102-1025AB pistons will be directly contacted and
provided with safe operating parameters.
All other customers can ensure continued safe operation of their DTS4 tandem stripper by:
1) Adhering to the safe operating parameters listed in the table above. Practically
speaking this can be accomplished by reducing the retract pressure to 0 psi
when stripping with the primary stripper/packer (ex: DSA4).
2) Limit the “tagging” force applied to the bottom bushing (item 31) to no more than
20,000 lbs at wellbore pressures greater than 7,000 psi and no more than 40,000
lbs at wellbore pressures below 7,000 psi.

Subject:
Discussion:
In recent incidents we have discovered that some slip inserts have a weld that is too large and it has the
potential of interfering with the mating components in the slip ram assembly. The welded slip inserts are
used in 4.06” and larger sizes of slip rams however not all of the designs have the welded tubing guide. If
the design of slip ram you are using has welded guides please make sure that the weld does not interfere
with the form or fit of the design. The problem is if the fillet weld is too large. The fillet weld must be small
enough for the slip insert to slide into the ram. Do not attempt the modify the slip inserts yourself.
Action:
If the slip insert does not easily fit with the mating components or if the weld is not per the drawing below
please contact TOT for replacement items.

Effected Equipment: 3.06/4.06 Over/Under Strippers; DSV4, DSV6, DSU4 and DSU6
Description: It has come to our attention that one, or more, of our customers may be
orienting the bolt holes of the stripper's bottom flange in a way that may cause
hydraulic system failure. These operators are removing the set screws securing the
bottom sub to the stripper's main body and rotating the bottom sub until the desired
bolt hole alignment is achieved. This technique will create a gap at the o-ring
sealing hydraulic pressure between the bottom sub and main body and result in the
failure of that o-ring.
Solution:
1) Do not remove the set screws securing the bottom sub to the main body unless
you are engaged in the repair or refurbishment of the stripper.
2) Operate the stripper ONLY if the bottom sub is firmly tightened against the main
body and the set screws are installed.
3) Align the bottom sub bolt holes by rotating (orienting) the ENTIRE stripper.

Discussion:
There has been one recent field incident in which the inner wire mesh core of the subject
breather became clogged and blew out. While such an incident does not degrade the
operational ability of the booster, it does present a potential safety hazard to those who
work around the equipment.
The incident occurred when the breather became clogged, probably with grease or paint,
and was unable to exhaust the required volume of air during the booster’s close stroke.
There was a pressure build up due to the restriction resulting in damage to the breather
and possibly a small amount of flying debris (the wire mesh).
Solution:
Replacement of existing wire mesh breather (p/n 7912-2551) with non-mesh version (p/n
7934-7601Z). A replacement breather can be obtained, free of charge, by contacting
TOT sales @ 936-523-2700 or email totsales@varco.com.
Note: As advised in Texas Oil Tools Product Service Bulletin PSB-038 (July 1997)
-- The breather will not prevent water or moisture from getting into this
chamber; therefore it will be more important now to maintain the grease in
this chamber. The correct way to fill this chamber with grease is to close the
actuator and then fill the chamber with grease until it starts to come out of
the breather. Open the actuator and the grease will now have a coating on
all of the surfaces in the chamber.

Incident:
There has been a single reported case of a slip insert and compression pin falling down hole during coiled
tubing operations. An investigation is currently being conducted and the exact cause of incident is, at this
time, unknown. Texas Oil Tools is issuing this product service bulletin prior to a determination of cause due
to the significant consequences of an object dropped down hole. An update to this bulletin, or an additional
bulletin, will be issued at the conclusion of the investigation if the cause is determined to be product related.
Recommended Actions:
All 7.06” 10M Pipe/Slip ram assemblies (p/n EC7R-VU**) should be visually inspected to verify that:
1) The set screws (item # 108) are installed. Set screw p/n 7942-0404
2) The set screws installed are 1.0” long.
NOTE: While all ram assemblies have shipped with the correct set screws (p/n 7942-0404) the TOT tech

Incident:
As a follow up to PSB-066 Texas Oil Tools is now recommending the replacement of the slip insert
assembly related to the 7.06” 10M Pipe/Slip Ram Assembly. The slip insert 9803-11xx has been
redesigned replacing the retaining set screws with load bushings and retainer pins. This new design will
prevent the inadvertent placement of set screws that are too short and strengthen the overall
performance of the slips. See Illustration below (9806-3098).
Recommended Actions:
All 7.06” 10M Pipe/Slip ram assemblies (p/n EC7R-VU**) should be rebuilt as follows:
1) Replace slip 9803-11xx with 9803-11xx Revision A. Contact your Texas Oil Tools sales
representative as soon as possible to secure replacement parts.
2) Use new retainer pins 2004-3321 and bushings 2004-3322

4.06” 10M EH44/EC44 Pipe/Slip Actuators
Incident:
There has been a reported case of an EH44/EC44 pipe/slip actuator piston rod (p/n
8741-0121, rev C) in which the rod’s head was parted from the shaft. The rod in
question was manufactured in 1992 and has been in service since that time. The
preliminary determination of the cause of the incident is a cyclic fatigue initiated crack at
an area of local stress concentration. Later revisions of the piston rod have design
features that reduce the level of localized stresses and are less susceptible to fatigue
crack initiation. Revision C piston rods were last manufactured in September of 1994.
Discussion:
The pipe/slip piston rod in question, along with its mate, had been checked for cracks as
part of a scheduled maintenance program one month prior to the incident and both were
determined to be crack free at that time. After the incident, the mating piston rod was
found to have cracks in the same area, though its head had not parted from its shaft.
Required Actions:
1) It is required that all locations with 4.06” 10M pipe/slip combi actuators
manufactured prior to September 1994 be inspected for the presence of piston
rods p/n 8741-0121 rev. A, B or C. If found, it is required that they be replaced
with the latest revision, rev. G. Contact your TOT sales representative for the
latest rod revision.
2) 4.06” 10M pipe/slip actuators manufactured prior to 1994 should be inspected for
the presence of 4.25” ID piston sleeve p/n 9323-1920 (see illustration below). It
is believed that the absence of this sleeve could have been a contributing factor
in the incident. The sleeve became standard on all 4.06” 10M pipe/slip actuators
in 1993. Contact your TOT sales representative for the kit p/n EH44-RW98
which includes all hardware required to add sleeve p/n 9323-1920 to your
pipe/slip actuator.

Discussion:
There has been one reported case in which wireline cable has been damaged by the line
guides of a 3.06" EL ram body. Upon review it has been determined that under certain
tolerance extremes it is possible that the ram's line guides will not fully cover the front
seal's metal plates. Front seal plates exposed in this manner can pinch the wireline cable
as the rams are closed resulting in damage to the cable.
Actions:
Operators in possession of the effected rams are encouraged to contact their Texas Oil
Tools sales representative.

7.06” 5M (EG72 BOP) pipe/slip front seals for 2-5/8” and larger tubing sizes.
Problem:
There have been several reported cases of pipe/slip ram assemblies failing to pass pre-job
pressure tests. The problem is often that the seals can not achieve a low pressure test. All
incidents have involved 2-5/8” and/or 2-7/8” line size pipe/slip ram assemblies.
Discussion:
Testing at Texas Oil Tools over the past few weeks has shown the problem to be isolated to the
2-5/8” and larger front seals. A slight modification to the elastomer compound for these sizes only,
and subsequent requalification testing, has solved the problem. The resulting product now
consistently achieves both high and low pressure tests with closing pressures at or below 2000 psi.
Recommended Action:
All 2-5/8” and larger pipe/slip front seals for the 7.06” 5M EG Workover BOP should be returned to
Texas Oil Tools to be replaced with the new and improved design. The following part numbers are
effected:

4.06” 10M Slip Rams EC/EH – 4.06 10M/15M ES Slip Rams
UPDATE: Part numbers: 9206-23**, 9206-25**, 9206-31** and 9905-31** with bolt in guides should
not be used effective June 20, 2013.
INCIDENT:
There has been a reported case of mismatched slip inserts being installed in opposing rams resulting in
improper functioning. The slip inserts in question were of different part numbers but were similar
enough in appearance that they were mistakenly used together
PROBLEM:
There are two basic slip designs for 4.06” 10/15M quad BOPs. The older design (p/n’s 9206-23**, 9206-
25** 9206-31** and 9905-31**) employs a bolt on line guide while the newer version (p/n 2000-30**) is of a
cast solid body type. The cast slip has the line guide as an integral part of the slip and does not require
bolts or welds to secure the line guide. The cast slip’s line guide is nearly an inch thick compared to
just ½” for the bolt on version. NOTE: In June of 2004, 9206-2351 (and larger, -2356, -2361, and
- 2373) was changed to a casting. The same part number was used. The slips should be used as sets.
A bolt on slip should not be used with a cast slip.
While the slip designs can both be used in the same ram blocks they are not designed to be
used together as a mismatched pair. In fact, because of the significant difference in the design
of the two line guides they will not mesh properly when closed against each other. They will, in
other words, prevent the proper closure of the slip rams and will not properly grip the coiled
tubing.
ACTION:
To prevent using a mismatched pair it is important that care is taken to visually verify that the opposing
slip inserts are the same. The following illustration clarifies the visual difference between the two
designs.
HISTORY:
• The cast slips have been used in the 4.06” 10M Quad/Combi Rams since April 2002.
• In January 2005, we initiated the use of the cast slips in the 4.06” ES BOP.

4.06” 10M & 15M, IH Sidewinder Stripper Packer – Model DSX4 & DSX6
Discussion:
Until recently, the tech manual for this product has specified that the tightening torques for the bonnet
bolts should be 4600 ft. lbs. It has been reported that this is rarely achievable except under ideal
circumstances. Therefore, it is recommended that a minimum torque of 2000 ft. lbs. should be applied
to the bonnet bolts during reassembly The maximum torque shall remain at 4600 ft. lbs. Adhering to
the minimum torque is especially important after field testing.
Action:
• Texas Oil Tools Tech Manual 1308 (Rev C) has been revised to reflect change.

Operational Observances:
There has been a reported incident ???? 4.06” DSA4 Side Door Stripper in the field with incorrect
doors. The door is used as a safety device to prevent the user from opening the hydraulic piston under
pressure. If the door is too short and hydraulic pressure is applied to the open side of the piston, well
pressure could leek.
Operators should check the door length on their equipment. The correct door length is 7.87 inches. If
the door length is 7.87 inches, no action is required.

3.00” 10M Shear Seal Piston Rod, Part No. 9706-1145 and 9706-1145B
Problem:
There has been a reported failure of a shear/seal piston rod used in the 3.06” 10,000psi WP Combi
BOP Large Bore Actuator. The head of the piston rod had been sheared and did not retract the ram
from the bore when the hydraulic actuator opened. The indicator rods showed the BOP had opened but
the ram had not retracted.
Discussion:
An investigation of the incident shows that the Shear Seal Ram will bottom out before the piston
bottoms out. The pressure on the piston will continue to act on the piston rod head and it may be
sheared off after repeated cycles. It has been determined to be a low cycle fatigue failure.
This does not affect the standard shear/seal actuator or the actuators that use the booster assembly.
Action Taken:
A design change was initiated to the piston so that it will bottom out before the ram bottoms out, there
by eliminating any shearing on the head of the piston rod. The piston rod and the ram guide on the
piston rod were also redesigned to strengthen the connection between them.
The following parts should be returned to Texas Oil Tools and will be replaced.

4.06” 10M EH Shear Seal Actuator with Booster Cylinder Manufactured prior to January 2002
The piston keeper part no. 9701-2027 was obsolete and replaced with a new piston keeper part no.
9701-2029. The reason for this change was that when the rams were closed and the sleeve nut was
run in to lock the rams in place, there was a chance that the key connecting the sleeve nut and the non-
rising stem together may fall out. This could potentially keep the sleeve nut from returning to the open
position. The new piston keeper is longer than the previous piston keeper and will not allow the sleeve
nut to extend past the key and thereby keeping it in place.
Discussion:
It has been discovered that some of the old piston keepers part no. 9701-2027 were not replaced in
some BOP’s that were in use. The parts are used in assemblies EH44-BC07, EH44-BC07L, EC44-
P449, EH44-NA39, and EH44-LA39X. Some disassembly and a visual check will ensure that the
correct piston keeper part no. 9701-2029 is being used. See the drawings below that show the

4.06 10K PIPE/SLIP RAM ASSEMBLY 8440-57**A & 8440-57**AB (** CT size specific)
It has come to Texas Oil Tools’ attention that some field locations may be using snap rings (C shaped
ring) instead of the recommended spiral retainer ring (TOT part no. 7824-1007). The retainer ring is
designed to retain the slips and the compression pin in the rams. The retainer ring will only see a load
on opening if the slips have a good bite on the tubing. A snap ring can be pushed out of the groove on
the compression pin under this loading allowing the slip and compression pin to fall off. There is also a
possibility that the snap ring can be installed incorrectly and not be in the groove of the compression
pin.
The TOT retainer ring and compression pin have been successfully tested to 10,800 lbs loading. The
TOT retainer ring (part no. 7824-1007) is the only approved retainer ring, no substitution is allowed.

Subsea Actuator Ball Check Housing
Part Numbers: 9802-0832L, 9812-1374L and 2006-5035
Incident:
A recent incident was reported where the Wedge Lock Ball Check had not seated properly causing
higher hydraulic release pressures than required. Once the ram has closed fully and the wedge
assembly has locked the ram shut, the ball check assembly is seated to prevent fluid bypass into the
actuator assembly. Improper seating of the ball will allow control fluid to circulate through the actuator
assembly preventing the ram from opening, ram will try to open as wedge opens.
Direction:
Drawing on page 2 illustrates the existing ball check housing seat profile. This profile has been in
service for an extended period of time with a good working history, in several different Subsea actuator
assemblies. Drawing on page 3 illustrates the revised seat profile which can be machined from existing
ball check housings. New manufactured ball check housings will have the new seat profile.
Texas Oil Tools recommendation for in service actuator assemblies is to perform a test to ensure
proper functioning of the assembly. The steps below are for fully assembled actuators currently in
service.

Discussion: In keeping with Texas Oil Tools policy of continued design improvement, Texas
Oil Tools is introducing a new rear seal design profile, Fig. 1. Older design Fig. 2, profile while

Incident
A recent incident occurred where a TOT DSV4/DSV6 stripper with a J-Slot Slip Bowl interfered with
slack chain when bolted to a Hydra Rig HR680 injector. Investigation with Hydra Rig concluded that a
1.00” spacer was needed to eliminate the problem of the chains hitting the slip bowl.
Action Taken
In order to prevent any potential accidents, Texas Oil Tools is requiring the following action be taken that
will be covered under warranty. TOT has designed spacer plate M601000083 which is a 1.00” thick plate
that requires installation as shown below. Assemblies in field use can order part number 2001-3906-RW
which includes the plate, necessary socket head cap screws and a drawing for upper body rework.
Rework will require drilling and tapping upper body to secure the spacer plate using capscrews to the
upper body.

Slip Insert p/n 8440-6700 Rev F
Discussion
This issue began when a customer ordered replacement slip inserts and received slip inserts with the
new pyramid tooth profile instead of the original profile.
The slips used in pipe/slip rams for 4.06”/5.12” 10k/15k BOPs have been redesigned and improved
over time.
This bulletin covers pipe/slip ram assemblies for 4.06”/5.12” 10k/15k BOPs. The non-deforming (N.D.)
pipe/slip ram assemblies are currently the preferred option offered by Texas Oil Tools. These N.D.
pipe/slip ram assemblies are therefore the items which will be held in stock, all other older options will
only be manufactured to order. N.D. slip insert p/n 8440-6700 was revised to level F on 5/9/05 to add
the vertical interrupted cuts. 4.06” pipe/slip ram assembly is detailed on page 3 and 5.12” pipe/slip ram
assembly is detailed on pages 4-6.

Non-Deforming Pipe/Slip Inserts, Interrupted Tooth Slips and Original Slips
The original pipe/slip inserts had complete, almost semi-circular teeth that could leave teeth marks on
the tubing. The improvement to the interrupted tooth (or pyramid tooth) style of inserts reduced the
impressions on the tubing from the slips.
N.D. slips were initially introduced for 4.06” Quad BOP Slip Rams via Product Service Bulletin PSB-013
Rev. B, in February 1995. The PSB covered only Quad BOPs. Product Service Bulletin PSB-034
followed in February 1998, and superseded PSB-013. PSP-034 included 4.06” Combi BOP Slip Rams
to have N.D. slip inserts.
Actions
Customers may continue to use slip inserts with the original profile. The original slips may be replaced
with the new non-deforming slip inserts.
Texas Oil Tool recommends using sets of inserts with matching profiles.

Incident:
A recent incident occurred where a TOT 4.06 ES BOP shear actuator was used during a routine in
house shear test which caused excessive profile damage to the coil resulting in a damaged cut section
of coil. This incident occurred while the slip rams were holding pipe in place during the shear test. The
shear ram cut 1.75” OD coil and continued to travel beyond the desired stopping point causing damage
to the cut edge of the coil, additionally the pipe was pushed toward the opposing actuator causing a
slight bend in the pipe.
Conclusion:
During the investigation TOT determined that with the overstroke in the shear actuator a spacer can be
installed in the actuator per the drawing below which would prevent coil damage. Spacers may be
ordered from Texas Oil Tools for future installation when actuators are disassembled for maintenance.
Affected BOP’s shipped by Texas Oil Tools after July 1, 2007, have spacers installed.
At present time Texas Oil Tools is recommending but not requiring that this change be made.

PROBLEM:
There has been a reported incident with the connection between the locking dogs and stinger of
the 4.06” 15,000psi working pressure JK46 Quick Disconnect.
The incident occurred as the Quick Disconnect was pressured up, the stinger was ejected from
its seated position.
DISCUSSION:
The investigation of the incident shows that the reason for this occurrence is that the stinger
was not properly latched by the locking dogs. This can be partially attributed to relying on the
springs to fully return the sleeve and lock the dogs in place. The other factor related to the
disconnection of the stinger is the absence of a visual indicator so the operator can see that the
locking dogs are in the fully locked position.
ACTION TAKEN:
A design modification was initiated to the Quick Disconnect so that an indicator is attached to
the sleeve directly below the hydraulic ports. A tag is attached to the outer housing, which
shows the locations of the “locked” and “unlocked” positions. As the sleeve is pressured closed,
the indicator attached to it will line up with the corresponding position on the tag, signaling the
operator when the locking dogs are locked and unlocked. Tech Unit 1480 was updated to
provide instructions on how to install the indicator and to clarify the intended use of the springs.
The following parts were added to the Quick Disconnect BOM to include the indicator:

Incident:
An incident has been reported to Texas Oil Tools where the above mentioned BOP front seals were
difficult to install. Upon installation and subsequent removal it was noticed that rubber along the edge of the
front seal plates was broken off. During inspection parts were identified as not having a radius along the
side of the seal equal to that of a BOP ram bore. Root cause of this is that the incorrect seals were molded
from a non conforming mold.
Required Action:
Following are two photos showing the back side of the front seals. Identification arrows point to injection
points that show the dissimilarities in the front seal molds used. Seals visually indentified as being incorrect
should be returned to Texas Oil Tools for replacement.

DSQ4 4.06” 10M Stripper
Incident:
A recent incident has been reported to TOT involving the backup M-seal on a DSQ4 stripper. The
backup M-seal is designed to be a replacement seal should the primary M-seal be damaged
during packer replacement. Installation of the backup seal is done by simply removing the
primary M-seal from the piston and moving the backup M-seal from its groove and installing into
the primary M-seal groove. When a situation arises, where the primary M-seal leaks, fluid should
bypass the backup M-seal.
In this case the backup M-seal held pressure giving no indication of a leak by the primary M-seal.
Conclusion:
During the investigation TOT determined that the groove for the backup M-seal was sized such
that the seal would retain pressure. A design change has been made to the backup M-seal groove
on piston 2002-0148. Design change ensures that the M-seal elastomer volume is at least 25
percent less than the groove. To aid in the removal of the backup M-seal a taper is also machined
on the front side of the groove as shown on the drawing below.
For piston modification or replacement contact TOT sales.

INCIDENT:
A recent incident has been reported to Texas Oil Tools involving shear blades 8801-1144 and 8801-0144
in Combi BOPs when pressure testing to a maximum working pressure of 15,000 psi. The reported incident
involved crack like indications on the upper blade bevel above the cutting edge. Indications were visible to
the naked eye. Although the indications were visible, all blades passed shear tests on heavy wall 1.75” 144
ksi yield Coil Tubing and subsequent pressure testing at Texas Oil Tools.
INVESTIGATION:
Examination performed at a metallurgical laboratory revealed that the carburizing process done by one
vendor was producing surface hardening much deeper into the blade at a higher hardness. This process
was determined to be the root cause of the cracks. The blades manufactured at this vendor are from the
following timeframes:
CONCLUSION:
Due to this incident Texas Oil Tools has identified batch numbers associated with this process and has
determined to request any blades which are identified by the below batch numbers be returned to Texas
Oil Tools for replacement. See photos for assistance in identifying these blades.

Blade to Blade Seal – 503682/005
Incident:
Ram assembly EZ4R-VS61A was sent in to TOT with damage to blade seal 503682/005.
Investigation determined that the blade seal could lift up during operation. When the rams
were operated the opposing blade would collide with the blade seal causing the damage
that was reported. Design review concluded that there needed to be a way to retain the
blade seal in its proper location and not affect the functionality or integrity of the ram
assembly.
Conclusion:
Modification was made to blade seal 503682/005 to add slots on each side of the seal to
accept a countersunk screw 7948-0294 (Qty 2) that would retain it to blade 503679/005.
After the modifications were made the rams were cycle and pressure tested in accordance
with test procedure M60EZ4R-VS61A-PRO-001. After testing, the ram components were
visually inspected and photographed.

EZ44 Slide-Lok Shear/Seal Ram Outer Seal M601009621
22/May/2012
Discussion:
Slide-Lok BOP EZ44 shear seal ram outer seal has recently undergone product improvements.
Overall design shape of the outer seal has been retained, with improvement being made to the
elastomer compound used with a new mold. New compound is an improved HNBR with increased
anti extrusion properties, replacing current dual durometer design material. Improvement has
eliminated existing molded interface tie line between the base compound and higher durometer
insert. With this improved elastomer the part number for the rear seal has been changed. The new
part number is M601009621, replacing all 503989 numbers previously used.
Validation:
Validation testing has been completed on the improved seal with 455 open/close cycles with 65
low pressure (300 psi) and high pressure (10,000 psi) hydrostatic tests, with no pressure leaks.
Test was conducted using the new outer seal along all existing seals currently being used in the
Slide- Lok BOP.
Action:
Texas Oil Tools currently has new outer seal parts (M601009621) in stock and Tech Unit 1472
has been revised to reflect this change. For seal replacement contact TOT sales.

INCIDENT:
A recent incident was reported to TOT where seal blade to ram body showed signs of elastomeric extrusion that
may have contributed to an unsuccessful shop low pressure test.
VALIDATION:
Review of the seal molding process and elastomer resulted in improved molding processes. Preparation of the
Inconel metal inserts prior to bonding has been revised to correspond with a new bonding agent for the elastomer.
Additionally we have increased the elastomer durometer by 5 points to help reduce elastomer extrusion. Texas Oil
Tools has conducted cycle testing on the revised seal using existing Outer Seals (see PIB D601009804) and the new
Outer Seal M601009621. Test was concluded while using only one seal blade to ram body with no pressure leaks
during the twenty (20) pressure test. See photos (pages 4 & 5) for before and after test results.
ACTION:
Texas Oil Tools currently has new seal: blade to ram body in stock. If seals are required, contact TOT sales.

BOP: M60ES34-Z349XL
Incident
There was in incident in the field when a customer opened the actuators of a 3.06 10M ES Triple
BOP and found damage to the ram bore on the body. The damage was due to an issue where
the guide rod sat slightly lower than the outer diameter ram bore creating interference and
scratching the bore upon installation of the rams. Figure 1 below shows the pipe slip guide rod
damage.
Discussion
It was determined upon investigation that the original design of the guide rod, ram body, and
bonnet together created interference large enough to produce damage to the ram bore of the
body. It was decided to make changes only to the ram body and guide rods and to leave the
bonnet in its original state.
In order to reduce the interference TOT revised the pipe slip guide rod (M602009-0015B) and the
shear seal guide rod (M602009-0022B) to a smaller outer diameter and sent replacement parts to
the customer. Completely removing all interference at this point was not an option because the
size of the slot on the ram body would be too large allowing for an unacceptable amount of
rotation in the rams.
Conclusion
To completely remove any interference on all future models of this BOP TOT revised the both the
pipe slip and shear seal guide rods as well as the pipe slip ram body (M602009-0300B) and the
shear seal ram body (M602009-5444AB). The ram bodies had to be revised to make the guide
rod slot smaller so the rams could not rotate around the smaller diameter of the guide rods. This
method removed the interference and allows for a .007 inch clearance in both the pipe slip and
shear seal cases.

SUMMARY:
Memo is a recommendation for replacing existing Safety Head MLK side packers 2002-1481-MLK-694K and 2002-
1482-MLK-694K with PEEK side packers 2002-1481P,2002-1482P,2002-1483P and 2002-1484P. Seals are composed
of exact same elastomer however mechanical layout of the seal is slightly different. Existing side packer seals have a
Kevlar mesh on the front face and inboard face of the side packer. Kevlar mesh is not used in the PEEK side packer
replacement. PEEK side packers have a PEEK insert found on the inboard side of the packer. Both side packers are
molded with the same elastomer.
INVESTIGATION/HISTORY:
Initial development and testing on the Texas Oil Tools Safety Head was performed in 2006 using Kristen condensate
for the test media. Testing was done to qualify a safety head for a four (4) well batch intervention. Three test
scenarios using different seal packages were decided upon based on initial screen test that concluded these were
the best options for successful completion of the test. One of these scenarios was the use of a multi layered Kevlar
side packer known as the MLK side packer. The MLK side packer was developed to function at high temperatures
during the 4 well batch qualification tests. Test temperature range was 34 degrees F to 250 degrees F. MLK side
packers successfully completed all phases of the test program. While successfully passing the 4 well batch
qualification test scenarios the seals have been inherently difficult to mold and achieve repeated ambient
temperature gas test during FAT. One main contributing factor for failure during the FAT gas test is the Kevlar mesh.
During molding Kevlar is layered up with rubber and placed in the mold causing several opening and closing
sequences during molding, each time allowing the Kevlar to move and become inconsistent in each part. Energizing
the rubber thru the Kevlar mesh is restricted by the Kevlar not allowing rubber to fill extrusion gaps and seal
improperly. Kevlar mesh, if not molded correctly can allow gas to migrate over time.
MLK side packers have been used for years with excellent results however during the 4 well batch qualifications
another seal package was tested that performed almost equally well and would fit the need of current operations.
Side packers referred to as PEEK are Kristen 1 design and have the same Elastomer compound as the MLK side
packers. PEEK side packers held gas tight integrity at the fourth batch test sequence from approximately 38 degrees
F (+3.3 C) down to 34.1 degrees F (+1 C) for approximately 56 minutes, passing all previous test scenarios similar to
the MLK side packers. Unlike the MLK side packers PEEK side packers consistently pass FAT gas testing and finished
parts from molding are consistent in mold makeup.

Rev / 01
P a g e | 4 of 5
CONCLUSION:
Texas Oil Tools recommends replacing MLK side packers with PEEK side packers as operational situations allow and
for spare parts. PEEK side packers will now be the primary seal package superseding the MLK side packer. See
page 5 for PEEK and MLK seal package Bill of Materials.
ACTION:
Customer can contact TOT to arrange replacement of MLK seals manufactured in 2012 (PO 432103 and
higher). Seals must be in new condition and in original packaging to qualify for PEEK side packer
replacement.

PSBL-4.06 8801 SHEAR BLADE MOD
TEXAS OIL TOOLS 4.06” SHEAR SEAL RAM BLADE DESIGN IMPROVEMENT
Discussion:
Texas Oil Tools Engineering Test Lab has performed extensive testing on our 4.06” Shear/Seal
Blades for several months, replicating actual well bore temperature scenarios by cooling and
heating an ES46 BOP to temperatures ranging from -25˚F to 350˚F. Hydrostatic testing at
temperature was done to well bore pressure up to 15,000 PSI. The temperature during the test
was monitored using thermocouples placed inside the BOP to record actual bore temperature.
Testing was conducted initially on our standard Low Temp Nitrile and Viton elastomer
formulations that have been used for many years with excellent results in field conditions.
Discovery:
At the conclusion of initial low temperature testing to -25˚F on the Low temp Nitrile and Viton
shear blades, it was determined that the elastomer saw increased rubber pressure due to
hardening of the rubber at low temperatures. Performance of the blades elastomeric properties at
combined -25˚F and 15,000 PSI hydrostatic did not meet TOT operating and quality standards. In
order to improve blade performance, TOT modified blades as shown in photos below to increase
elastomer performance and durability by decreasing rubber pressure. On all Low Temp Nitrile
blades two holes were added to the lower blade to reduce elastomeric rubber pressure. On all
Viton molded blades three holes were added to the lower blade. Additionally TOT has introduced
a new Low Temp Viton that will operate at temperatures ranging from -25˚F up to 250˚F.
Conclusion:
Based on testing Texas Oil Tools will issue new temperature operating guidelines for elastomers
used in the 4.06” Shear Seal blade part number series 8801-****
Low Temp Nitrile 70 Duro: -25˚F to 250˚F. Use existing blade numbers, 8801-05** and 8801-06**
Low Temp Viton 70 Duro: -25˚F to 250˚F. New blade part numbers issued, 8801-08**B and 8801-
07**B.
Viton 80 Duro: 40˚F to 350˚F. Use existing blade part numbers, 8801-07** and 8801-08**.

Incident:
Texas Oil Tools has been notified of an incident where pipe/slip rams on a dual combi BOP were
hydraulically set and then the manual locks were set hand tight. After a period of time the BOP
hydraulic system pressure was bled off and at this time the tubing slipped through the pipe/slip
rams.
Discovery:
Testing has been conducted at Texas Oil Tools where manual locks are closed hand tight and
given torque value to determine optimum holding capacity using manual locks. Coiled tubing used
during testing was both 1.75”, QT900 and QT 1300. Testing was conducted where rams are
closed hydraulically to full rated working pressure, hydraulic pressure is maintained while the
manual locks are closed. Hydraulic pressure was then bled off to zero PSI and pipe heavy load is
applied to slips. Closing manual locks hand tight will not properly hold coiled tubing at eighty
percent of pipe yield. Closing manual locks hand tight with no additional torque applied, slips will
hold less than 50 percent of coiled tubing yield. Manual locks were then torqued to 200 ft/lbs
under full hydraulic pressure followed by bleeding off hydraulic pressure to zero psi. Pipe heavy
load of eighty percent of pipe yield was then applied with no slippage across slips.
Action Required:
After testing and analysis Texas Oil Tools is recommending that when setting manual locks on
BOP’s a torque of 200ft/lbs. be applied to the manual locks while the hydraulic system pressure is
still applied to the rams. Although Texas Oil Tools recommends keeping hydraulic system
pressure applied at all times even when the manual locks are set, with the manual locks torqued
to 200ft/lbs. BOP system pressure can be bled off if required and the rams will still perform to
their design rating.

Product:
5.12” ES Blowout Preventer Ram Slip Insert – 9206-25** (** refers to Line Size code).
Incident:
A customer reported that the slip insert guide from an ES56 quad blowout preventor was bent
outward. It was determined that the Socket Head Cap Screws securing the guide plate to the
slip had been sheared. This un-secured the slips to the ram body allowing the guide to move.
Cause:
The slip guide plates were designed only to secure the slip to the ram and guide the coil to the
center of the slips. When closed on oversized objects, an interference fit would cause the force
from the actuator to be transferred to the socket head cap screws, resulting in the shear failure
of the screws.
Action:
Texas Oil tools has developed and tested a new solid-piece design for this slip. The new design
removed the socket head cap screw connection, allowing for solid metal reinforcement. See
figure 1.
All future 9206-25** slips will be of the new design (Rev. H as of this PSB). Customers can
contact the Texas Oil Tools sales department for replacement of the old slip design if desired.
Special Note:
This design will only improve the durability of the slip guide; it is important that properly sized
slips are used for each coil size.

SCOPE:
Testing was conducted to review sheared end of coiled tubing after shearing three
different sizes of coil in a 1.75" combi shear/seal blade used in BOP model ES46. Current
blades supplied by NOV Texas Oil Tools are coil size specific ensuring sufficient profile
opening to allow possible pump down operations and reducing coil swell for overshot
intervention.
REVIEW:
Coiled tubing sizes tested using the 1.75" blade were 1.25", 1.50" and 1.75''. Testing
showed shearing all three sizes of coil with one blade had sufficient opening for pump
down operations. Additionally sheared end coil swell for both 1.75" and 1.50" coil is
within 5%, whereas on 1.25" coil it was observed at 10%. Amount of swell should not
hinder any milling operation or other fishing alternatives which could be required. Shear
values recorded are within normal values of coil used. Testing was also conducted on 2.38"
shear/seal blades with 2.00" and 2.38" coil; results were comparable to the 1.75" blade
results.
CONCLUSION:
NOV Texas Oil Tools is dedicated to continuous product improvements in regards to market
pains and meeting our customers’ expectations. We have decided to manufacture our
shear/seal blades associated with combi BOPs in two sizes, 1.75” (For 1.25”,1.50”&1.75”
coil) and 2.38” (For 2.00” and 2.38” coil). This change will increase shear blade throughput
resulting in reduced lead times, higher volume inventory and overall improved logistics for
our customers and NOV Texas Oil Tools.

Incident:
During recent testing and review of incoming seals for use in specific subsea projects Texas Oil
Tools discovered a non-approved compound being supplied for SSR and GSR seals. Compound
being manufactured was from a TOT approved vendor using their approved compound for TOT
parts; however the compound was not approved for use in subsea well applications.
Discussion:
Parts affected are manufactured from a non-qualified HNBR compound that is not approved for
subsea applications. Compound ingredients are virtually the same as the approved HNBR 803-80;
however, the non-approved compound has not undergone fluid immersion and RGD testing per
customer specific qualifications.
Action:
Texas Oil Tools request that customers identify components used in their assemblies based on
the affected parts, per the chart below, and contact Texas Oil Tools Subsea sales for new seals.
When contacting TOT please have part number and part specific identification number or job
information.

Incident:
During testing, at the Texas Oil Tools facility, a Top Seal failed to perform correctly. The inserts
at the front of the seal were bent and became lodged between the two rams, causing the Ram
assembly not to test.
Investigation:
TOT tested additional Top Seals and witnessed the same failure. Comparisons were made
between other assemblies that tested good, but nothing was apparent. Top Seals and Rams
were dimensionally inspected and found to be within print tolerances. During inception of the
damaged seals, it was noticed that bonded inserts could be removed from the Top Seal using
minimal force with no rubber tear. Further investigation to damaged and new Seals of the
affected batch revealed an isolated issue of the Inserts not being fully bonded to the rubber.
TOT contacted the vendor, the issue was investigated by the vendor and they determined there
was a process issue in bonding the inserts to the rubber.
Action:
TOT’s vendor instituted added quality processes to their manufacturing to insure the bond of the
inserts were full and consistent. TOT was supplied new Seals to test. TOT has fully tested the
Top Seals, with the added processes, and found them to be fit for use.
Customers that have received Top Seals with PO #455723 & #453337 are to contact TOT
Sales to obtain replacements. It would be beneficial to all parties for the seals to be returned to
TOT for further analysis.

Scope
Texas Oil Tools has identified a design issue regarding 5.12” Shear Seal Blades for sizes 2 7/8”
and 3.5” causing failure to seal, and recommends all customers with effected part numbers to
contact TOT for replacement.
Summary
Texas Oil Tools was notified of sealing failures during equipment testing of new Shear Seal
blades. Investigation determined that this issue was a design flaw present since creation in
1995, and until recently, no issues were reported. During closing of the rams, the top shear seal
blades contacted approximately ½” before the side packing elastomer could energize. This
design oversight caused the ineffectiveness of the seal.
The 3.5” blade 8505-5988 was caught in-house during factory acceptance testing, and was
reworked to reduce the length and remedy the issue. It was not noticed with the 2 7/8” 8505-
5973 blades and the 3.5” 9622-0788 blades until customers reported the issue. These parts
were sold as spares or line size changes and not part of an entire BOP unit.

Findings:
During testing it has been observed that the Top Seal (2005-2020) can protrude out the front of
the Ram assembly when installed in the BOP. In intermittent cases this causes the seals to
operate incorrectly, causing damage to the seals.
Action:
Effective immediately, All EGA72 BOPs that are equipped with a Shear/Seal ram assembly,EG72-TS88XB
or EG72TS88X, will need to use M60EGA72-MS88XB. The change between the old assembly and the new

Texas Oil Tools has identified a design issue regarding 5.12” Ram Bodies 9211-1188 Rev D
and 9211-1288 Rev. C (and all prior revisions of both) for 2 7/8” coil causing failure to seal, and
recommends all customers with effected part numbers to contact TOT for replacement.
Summary
Texas Oil Tools was notified of sealing failures during equipment testing of new Shear Seal
blades. Investigation determined that this issue was a tolerance stack up in ram bodies 9211-1188
and 9211-1288. During closing of the rams, the bodies made face to face contact prior to full
elastomer energization for well bore sealing. Ram bodies OAL was 7.000” which has been
reworked to 6.950” to ensure full elastomer energization. Ram body current revisions are 9211-
1188 Rev. F and 9211-1288 Rev D. with current OAL of 6.950”.
Required Actions:
1) Ram bodies 9211-1188 Rev D and prior, 9211-1288 Rev C and prior, can be returned to
TOT for replacement or modification. Ram body modification can be faced off to 6.950” as
shown below. Contact TOT sales for modification or replacement instructions. Alternatively
send parts to local NOV, TOT authorized service center.
2) TOT recommends replacing rams using 17-4 SST material with the 9211-1188AB and
9211-1288AB alloy rams.
3) After machining, remove current revision level then stamp with new revision level and date
of modification (part number location as shown above in rework illustration).

Customer: Halliburton
Incident:
Texas Oil Tools was notified on November 2nd 2015 by Halliburton that slip rams assembly M60ES7R-
0G51AL failed to hold approximately 8,300 ft. of 2.00” coil tubing.
Investigation:
TOT engineering department has determined with the current slip inserts (M601009867-51) the 25° guide
angle was too shallow and did not guide the coil tubing to center. In addition, the inserts sit just outside the
ram body creating a small pinch point. While closing the rams the coil tubing was pinched between the step
and the guide, causing the coil tubing to be sheared by the opposing slip insert guide. (See figure 1)
TOT has determined that serial number 131-40651 and 151-47488 are the only 7.06 10K ES Quads with
this issue.
Solution:
Short term solution is to use the pipe rams to center the coil tubing then close the slip rams to grip and hold
the coil. (See figure 2) Steps to complete this process are listed below.
Long term solution is a new design with an insert that has guides on both sides. Like the pipe ram, we have
removed any areas that could be considered a pinch point causing this issue. (See figure 3)
New ram assembly M60ES7R-0G51 will now be the required ram assembly for 2.00” coil tubing for the
ES74 quad BOP. The old assembly M60ES7R-0G51AL will be obsolete and will no longer be used.

Findings:
During testing and operations, the original Bonnet seal (7813-J377) was
observed to be wearing prematurely. In intermittent cases this caused the seal to
fail. This was found to have occurred due to the extrusion gap between the Bonnet
and Body.
Action:
Effective immediately, All EGA72 BOPs are to replace the old Bonnet seals
7813-J377 and replace them with P601013447. Also, the torque requirements for
the Bonnet Bolts (M601011192B) and the Cap Nuts (M601011191B) have been
changed to 1000-1100 ft.lbs.

Scope
This document serves to notify TOT customers of an incident involving a slip insert dropped
downhole due to a retainer pin falling out during installation.
Incident
Texas Oil Tools was notified that a slip was dropped downhole during a job using an ES56 Quad
BOP. Investigation determined the pin retainer was not present during operation which allowed
the slip to dislodge from the ram body.
It is imperative to ensure the retainer pin is installed correctly into the ram body and is present
before the ram goes into the BOP. It is possible for the pin to fall out of the ram body when rolled
to its side or upside-down.

Assembly
1. Install Slip Insert into ram body with the angled guide on the same side as the through hole
on the ram body as shown.
2. Install Retainer Pin into Ram Body through the clearence fit hole. Note the retainer pin is
visible and can be checked for proper installation. Applying red grease (Similar to
Cheveron Ultimate Duty EPNLGI2) to the retainer pin during installation can help prevent it
from falling out during transportation.
3. When installing the ram assembly into the actuator, double check that the retainer pin is
present.

Scope
The purpose of this document is to bring awareness to TOT customers the identification of a
manufacturing defect in the 5.12” JU56 Hydraconn lock dogs. The following serial numbers were
affected by the defective parts:
123-38588
151-47061
Order 459514
Issue
While testing a customer JU56 Hydraconn at the Texas Oil Tools facility in Conroe, it was
identified that the cause of seal failures linked to an excessive extrusion gap. When the assembly
was inspected, the lock dogs (9705-2022) measured out of specification. The inside length was
.100” over high tolerance, reducing the effective grip between the bottom sub and the stinger.
The root cause was a mistake due to a re-write of a CNC program by a vendor May, 2014 that
has since been corrected. All parts manufactured since 8-12-15 are correct.
Testing in-house saw reduced seal life expectancy due to the defect. No mechanical failures
occurred in the connection itself during testing. The unit was shell tested to 22,500psi four (4)
times and went through multiple rounds of 15,000psi testing during root cause analysis with no
failures of the connecting mechanism.

Scope
Texas Oil Tools has identified a manufacturing issue with the Safetyhead’s side packer seals
produced out of UTEX Mold #5601; seals produced from this mold, prior to 13-Apr-16, were
found to be undersized and prone to wellbore leakage.
Summary
Texas Oil Tools observed several leakages whilst performing gas wellbore pressure testing on
the Safetyhead ET BOP.
Upon inspection of the leaking side packers it was discovered that the height dimension was
measuring in the range of 2.535-2.565 resulting in a loose fit within the ram body.
The undersized variance in height of the side packer leads to a potential for wellbore leakage;
however, some side packers from this mold have been found to repeatedly seal without issue.
Required Actions
All Side Packers that have already passed Hydrostatic and/or Gas Working Pressure Tests are fit
for service.

Bulletin Number: ES56-ACT2-PIB-001 Revision: 02
Objective
Texas Oil Tools has identified an issue with overstroke in ES54 slip actuators.
Issue
The scenario is present when ES56-ACT2 actuators are utilized as slip actuators. One ram typically closes
first, which will create an off-center ram closure. This effect is present in most ram assemblies, but has
been noticed to be larger than intended with the ES56-ACT2 actuator using slip ram assemblies. The
tubing can be at risk of damage if the slips engage fully off-center followed by activating the pipe rams.
Solution
To prevent the possibility of this occurrence, a stroke limiting spacer (M601012606) can be installed into
the ES56-ACT2 actuator.

Objective
Improve stem seal life during Rapid Gas Decompression
Description
Texas Oil Tools has seen limited situations during RGD where standard polypak elastomer energizers
become dislodged from the polypak. While this does not directly affect sealing, we feel that this would
give a false indication of seal failure.
Solution
Texas Oil Tools is offering polypaks that contain a SST spring energizer that can replace existing lead
polypak BOP stem seals. Current polypaks with elastomer energizers are still available and will continue
to be used behind the SST energizer or as is currently used. Implementation of the SST energizer will
improve the after effects of RGD on the energizer. Drawing on page 3 illustrates the preferred seal stack
when installing the new SST energized polypak and gives a list of available part numbers.

Affected Assemblies: See attached chart of affected order numbers and part numbers
Objective
Texas Oil Tools has identified an issue with the material used for two batches of guide rods.
Issue
Guide rods made from carbon steel are exposed to well bore fluids including H2S, industry standard
NACE MR0175, specifies metallurgical hardness levels for H2S exposed materials as used in our guide
rods. Texas Oil Tools has identified a very limited number of orders where guide rod hardness exceeding
NACE max limit of 22Rc by 5 points were shipped to some customers.
Solution
If an affected piece of equipment as listed below is currently in operation or about to be in service guide
rods need to be replaced when the job is completed. Guide rods in equipment listed below can see a
limited amount of exposure time to wellbore fluids of 5 weeks. Guide rods identified as incorrect must
be replaced with new rods supplied by Texas Oil Tools at the earliest possible time to avoid exceeding
the limited exposure time allowed.

Objective
TOT is notifying all customers of an incident involving a DSV6 Stripper packer resulting in a near-miss
failure.
Issue
The operator was applying pressure to the close port of the stripper packer window when the Socket
Head Cap Screws holding the middle body to the lower body failed, resulting in a hydraulic leak through
the O-Ring seal. This was the result of not having a return connection on the open port to vent the
hydraulic fluid back when closing the window.
Without having a proper return connection, the large surface area difference between the open and
close side of the window creates a pressure booster. The smaller area, depending on the stripper packer
model, could have over a five (5) times pressure boost, far exceeding the safe hydraulic working
pressure of the unit.

Objective
TOT is notifying all customers of a switch to T-Seals in dynamic piston applications.
Issue
A few incidents of spiral failure in O-Ring piston seals in the EH54 model due to internal cylinder surface
coating finishes have prompted a product improvement. O-Rings have been used for many years
successfully in TOT piston designs, but do have more sensitivity to imperfect conditions within the
cylinder. From now on, new BOP units and seal kits will come with a T-Seal for the piston in place of the
O-Ring. The T-Seal has been used on the ES model BOP reliably and will alleviate issues concerning O-rings
in dynamic applications.

Objective
The TOT recommended method to remove corrosion from an EIA Wedge lock bore and provide
subsequent maintenance/preservation procedures.
Issue
Field has reported actuators that are unable to function Open utilizing working hydraulic pressure. The
EIA Wedge lock bores were found to have a corrosive build up similar to that seen in Image 1 below.
Investigation
Customer reported sticking wedge during attempts to function actuators Open. After closing an
actuator set, the actuator was unable to open utilizing full hydraulic working pressure.
Initially, TOT worked to address the issue by improving upon the design of the locking wedge. The wedge
geometry was updated to remove material on the back side of the wedge (compare Image 1 to Image 2);
additionally, an extended length clevis has been installed to reduce wedge stroke, reference 1000012215-
PIN for details.

Product Information Bulletin
Although the updated wedge/clevis combination has been shown to reduce the hydraulic pressure
required to unlock an actuator set, the increased normal forces acting upon the wedge, due to corrosion
build up, is a contributing factor to increased opening pressures over time.

source. JU56 Safety Latches getting stuck in the open position requiring
manual assistance to close.
Affected Assemblies: Torsion Spring: 9705-2629; Gland Nut: 9705-2627; Lock Piston: 9705-2628
Objective
Texas Oil Tools recommendations for JU56 Connector Safety Latches and upgrades available if
experiencing the subject issues referenced.
Issue
Field report #1:
It was reported to Texas Oil Tools that one of the JU56 connector safety latches had opened while not
connected to a hydraulic power source. Upon investigation, it was found that the hoses that were
attached to the connector were unhooked from the power source, creating a pressure lock. TOT
conducted in house testing and found that it is possible for the safety latch to open due to thermal
expansion of the hydraulic fluid in the hoses if they are exposed to the sun or other heat sources
without being bled.

Solution
Texas Oil Tools does not recommend leaving connectors attached to power supply hoses that do not
terminate to a hydraulic power source. TOT has up graded the spring on the connector to help minimize
the chances of this happening.
TOT has removed the optional manufacturing geometry to the Lock piston and increased the width of
the O-ring groove on the Gland nut, this should ensure that the safety latch closes on its own.
If you are not experiencing these issues it is not necessary to replace the revised parts listed above. All
new parts made will be to the latest revisions and will work on all connectors.

Subject: Coiled Tubing Condition Evaluation, Slip and Pipe/Slip Rams; Anticipated
Minimum and Maximum Hydraulic Pressures
Objective
Recommendation of field testing on slip and pipe/slip rams to evaluate coiled tubing condition prior to
field usage for both minimum and maximum anticipated hydraulic pressures.
Issue
Current field testing involves testing slip and pipe/slip rams to a minimum hydraulic pressure using shop
test pumps. The reason for the minimum hydraulic pressure required is to make sure you have enough
force, when the effective closing pressure is calculated at MASP (Maximum Anticipated Surface Pressure).
It is also necessary to perform the slip tests using the maximum hydraulic pressure, to ensure the
combination of the hydraulic force and the load applied do not damage the coiled tubing. The only
marking on the coiled tubing should be the indentation of the slip teeth. The larger sizes of BOP’s are
designed to hold up to 150,000 lbs. of hang off load, the same hydraulic force applied to the thin walled
section of the CT string could damage the coiled tubing.
Resolution
Texas Oil Tools recommends closing slip or pipe/slip rams using a minimum and maximum hydraulic
pressure. If using tapered strings, test needs to be conducted across thin and thick wall sections to
validate closing force and coil condition.

EH/EC44 BOP ACTUATOR ROD NUT
Subject: EH44 & EC44 BOP Actuator Rod Nut Evaluation and Possible Replacement
Product Model: EH44 & EC44 Quad BOPs
Effectivity: All EH44 & EC44 Quad BOPs
Affected Assemblies: All EH44 & EC44 Quad BOP Actuator Assemblies
Objective
To notify all users of EH44 and EC44 acceptance criteria for rod nut 7805‐1031B.
Issue
TOT was notified that a EH44 BOP actuator lost function and the rams would not open during wellsite
operation. Upon disassembly it was noticed that the rod nut had failed and separated from the piston
rod preventing the rams from being opened.
1000012342‐PIB/Rev03 Page 1 of 4
Product Information Bulletin
Resolution
TOT recommends to check the build date of the actuators or BOP assembly. If the actuators or BOPs
were built before the year 1991 the rod nut 7805‐1031B revision should be checked immediately. If the
rod nut has revisions A or B then the material yield strength is 75,000psi and should be replaced.
Revision C and above are all acceptable with an increased yield strength of 100,000psi.
It is also recommended to magnetic particle inspect the rod nut during inspection or recertification
process.
Testing the system to a full open hydraulic pressure of 4,500psi was also a contributing factor to the rod
nut failure. Test procedures ATEH‐2000, 4000, and 6000 have all been revised to remove this step to
prevent future occurances.

DD46‐ACT2X 15M Snubbing Act
Subject: Change Rod in DD46‐ACT2X 15M Snubbing Actuator
Product Model: DD46‐ACT2X 15M Snubbing Actuator
Effectivity: DD46 Snubbing BOPs
Affected Assemblies: DD46‐ACT2X 15M Snubbing Actuator
Objective
Texas Oil Tools is notifying all users of DD46 snubber actuators of the required torque values on
threaded connections.
Issue
A location reported change rods, 2005‐0443B, within actuator DD46‐ACT2X had been damaged across 3
different BOPs and prevented the actuators from opening. Internal investigation identified a situation
where too much torque on the change rod cap nut, 2005‐0445B, could result in radial indications in the
surface of the thread relief on change rod 2005‐0443B weakening this area causing the part to fail over
time. Additional calculations and testing confirmed a maximum torque value of 50 ft lbs is enough to
mate the parts together and eliminate damage.

4.06", 10M Triple Combi BOP
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Triple BOP is designed to accept rams that combine the function of two rams. This can be
either the combination of shear & seal (blind), or pipe & slip.
The most obvious benefit is the reduced height and weight of a Triple BOP. The second advantage
is with the shear seal rams. Pipe can be cut and the rams closed as blind, without the need to move
the pipe. After the pipe is cut, continued travel of the shear blades moves the cut portion up and out
of the way of the seal.
Combi BOP’s are available as single, double or any multiple configuration. Single function rams
such as pipe, or wireline are also available for the Combi BOP. For example shear seal could be
combined with conventional separate pipe, and slip rams in a triple BOP. Pipe cannot be moved or
"stripped" through pipe slip rams.
Combi rams are no longer than conventional, and cannot be used in a regular BOP that is not
designed for combi rams.
Shear seal and pipe slip rams are the same O.D. and length and can be interchanged.
CAUTION: The ram guides for the pipe slip have a rocker to compensate for the different travel
required in the slip insert, and pipe front seal. Changing from shear seal to pipe slip or vice versa
require changing the ram guide and piston rod arrangement.
2.0 FEATURES
• INTEGRAL EQUALIZING VALVES - Equalizing valve is integral to the body, no exposed plumbing
or extra seals to leak. Replaceable valve seat.
• WELL PRESSURE ISOLATED - Separate seals for hydraulic and well pressure with a vent to
prevent well pressure from entering the hydraulic system.
• EASY MAINTENANCE - No special tools required, the BOP breaks down into small manageable
units. One man can easily handle the entire cleaning and maintenance job. No difficult threads to
align.
• MANUAL LOCKS - Manual locking stems are non-rising; therefore, there are no threads exposed to
become dirty or bent.

• CUTTING - Shear rams cut the coil tubing leaving a clean end for circulating fluids or easy fishing.
• SLIPS - Slip rams have replaceable inserts to renew the teeth without the need to replace the entire
ram.
H2S Service - Materials in contact with pressured well fluids to NACE specifications MR-01-75 for
H2S Service. Full traceability for the above materials is maintained on file, for a minimum of five
years. A complete data file with materials certs, and test chart is furnished with each tool.
Arctic Service BOP’s "B" suffix - In a ition to t e NACE s ecifications above meet t e API 6A
re uirements it C ar im acts at - 0 .
SI289 & NPD Service "L" suffix - In addition to the NACE and API requirements, additional Chary
Impact and Physical tests are met. A Design Review, Certificate of Compliance, by DNV, Lloyds, or
Bureau Veritas if furnished with the Data Book.
All BOP’s are raulic an function tested per API Spec 6A with a soft core and hard case. The
hard outer case will be subject to cracking, however the softer core will not be as likely to crack in an
H2S environment. The case hardened blades will not last as long as through hardened blades, but
we feel that this is the best compromise for H2S service.
Slip rams have real oilfield type hardened slip teeth in replaceable inserts. Worn slips can be easily
and economically replaced.
4.0 OPERATION
The following instructions assume that the reader is educated and experienced in high pressure well
work, and H2S hazards. The following instructions relate only to the specific features of the Texas
Oil Tools Combi Blowout Preventer.
Be sure that the tool has been fully serviced by a competent technician. Do not assume that a
serviceable tool on the last job will be serviceable for the next. The rubber O-rings, front, rear &
shear seals must be inspected. Slip teeth must be inspected to assure that they are clean and
sharp.
Check all flange and union seals and the sealing surfaces for damage that might impair sealing.
Repair BOP or replace seals.
Test all hydraulic functions, open & close each set of rams.
Check the operation of the manuals locks. NOTE: The Manual Locks must be fully open to permit
the Rams to fully open.

Pressure test the complete hook-up; BOP and all connections including the stripper packer before
starting the job.
Close all equalizing valves.
Rams are available in blind, pipe, slip & shear for 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75 & 2.00" coiled tubing.
All ram bodies are available, as ordered in either alloy, or stainless steel for long life and easy
maintenance.
Front & rear seals are made of Viton for the best life in h2s service, from - 0 - 0 . Nitrile seals
are preferred for CO2 an are lo er cost. H rin seals are recommen e for Arctic tem eratures to
- 0 . Ot er seal materials are available for s ecific con itions.
Shear Blades for H2S Service: as noted in the NACE Specification MR-01-75 "High strength and
high hardness steels are required for ram shear blades to shear drill pipe during emergency
conditions. However, the user shall be advised that these materials are highly susceptible to SSC
(Sulfide Cracking). Since during workover operations the blades maybe exposed to H2S, the shear
blades are made with a soft core and hard case. The hard outer case will be subject to cracking,
however the softer core will not be as likely to crack in an H2S environment. The case hardened
blades will not last as long as through hardened blades, but we feel that this is the best compromise
for H2S service.
Slip rams have real oilfield type hardened slip teeth in replaceable inserts. Worn slips can be easily
and economically replaced.
5.0 MINOR DISASSEMBLY; RAM CHANGE
Reference Drawing No. 9325-2040/2041
CAUTION: the BOP is heavy, be sure that the lifting and handling equipment can safely handle this
load. ALWAYS assume that something may break, never have any part of your body under the
suspended tool. The BOP should be serviced either standing upright. Be sure that the support is
adequate and accounts for the shift in weight as the Bonnet assemblies are removed.
Start with all rams in the open position. This will make it easier to remove the ram from the bore of
the BOP, and with the ram retracted into the bonnet, it will not accidentally fall off as you handle the
sub-assembly.
Loosen all Nuts (3) on each Bonnet Approximately 1/4 turn, then remove all nuts & cap screws.
Install ram change rods (47).
Remove the bonnet actuator assembly with the ram. TAKE CARE! Do Not use a pry bar as it will
damage the bonnet or BOP sealing surface.
Rotate the manual lock right-hand to move the ram out of the bonnet. Rotate the manual lock left-
hand to return it to the open position. NOTE: this does not pull the piston back to the open position,
but will permit the hydraulic pressure to retract the ram during re-assembly.
