EFB-2 & ERB-2 Check Valves
EFB-2 and ERB-2 Equalizing Check Valves are designed to prevent fluid from flowing downward while allowing upward flow through a reliable ball and seat mechanism. These valves feature a built-in equalizing design, ensuring efficient performance in demanding applications.
Applications
- Preventing downward fluid flow in various downhole operations.
Features
- Built-in equalizing mechanism for seamless operation.
- Effective prevention of downward flow with upward flow capability.
Operation
Running Instructions
The EFB-2 or ERB-2 Check Valve is deployed using an EC-1 Running Tool. The valve is lowered to the desired location and secured by downward jarring, which shears the pins attaching it to the running tool. Once in place, the EC-1 Running Tool is retrieved, leaving the Check Valve correctly positioned. The valve can be run into fluid without issue, as the ball remains unseated during descent.
Pulling Instructions
To retrieve the Check Valve, an ERB Pulling Tool is deployed downhole. The tool latches onto the valve’s external fish neck, and upward force shears the brass set screws, enabling fluid to bypass through the valve’s interior. This process allows for safe and efficient retrieval of the Check Valve.
Why Choose EFB-2 and ERB-2 Check Valves?
These valves offer a reliable solution for controlling fluid flow in downhole operations. Their built-in equalizing design ensures optimal performance, and the robust construction allows for repeated use in demanding environments. For installation and retrieval, the tools work seamlessly with standard running and pulling tools, making them a practical choice for well operations.
