The accessories in Section XV are the individual components that combine with the equalizing and bottom sub-assemblies to complete each assembly configuration. The A Cage and B Cage are the outer housing components that contain the valve, bean, or ball and seat mechanism in each respective sub-assembly; the A Cage is used in circulating applications, and the B Cage is used in choke and bean applications. The API Cross Over Mandrel is the connecting component that adapts between the Lock Mandrel body thread and the Seal Unit, allowing different lock mandrel and nipple combinations to be used with the same circulating or choke bottom assemblies.

The AO Bean and BT Bean are the calibrated flow restriction inserts used inside the A Cage and B Cage, respectively, and are available in 1/64" orifice increments, giving the operator precise control over flow restriction without replacing the entire subassembly.

The K Equalizing Shear Plug is a safety device that incorporates a shear element, allowing the equalizing pathway to be opened by applying a specific overpull force on the wireline, providing a backup equalization method if the primary prong-actuated equalization fails or is not accessible. Product Code 21 applies to the A Cage, AO Bean, and standard accessories; Product Code 195 applies to the B Cage, API Cross Over Mandrel, K Equalizing Shear Plug, and BT Bean.

How to Order: Product Code 21 (A Cage, AO Bean), Product Code 195 (B Cage, API Cross Over Mandrel, K Equalizing Shear Plug, BT Bean). Specify cage type (A or B), bean ID in 1/64" increments where applicable, material, and the lock mandrel and nipple configuration to be used with.
