VAM® HTF™ (High Torque Flush) is a flush OD integral connection providing maximum clearance along with extreme
torque strength for challenging applications such as extended reach and slim hole wells, drilling with liner / casing, liner
rotation to achieve better cementation in highly deviated and critical High Pressure / High Temperature wells.

Looking ahead on the outcoming testing industry standards, VAM® decided to create an upgraded design and launch on the
market the VAM® HTF-NR as the new standard version of VAM® extreme high torque flush connection. The VAM® HTF-NR
has extensive tests as per API RP 5C5:2017 CAL II which include the gas sealability having load points with bending,
internal pressure and high temperature at 135° C.
