Segment-Type Spear Grapple consists of a grapple body, eight grapple segments, two retainer rings, six retainer ring screws, six retainer ring spacers, and sixteen grapple segment screws.

 

Pack-off Assembly

It is installed in the box connection at the top of the mandrel when the use of a positive stop is desired or required. A stop ring can be added to increase shoulder diameter. All stop rings are furnished with left-hand threads.

 

Optional Nuts

Mill Type to mill away burrs, Sub Type to connect and run other tools below the Spear, and Side hill Type to center the spear in greatly oversize holes to assure entry of the Spear into the fish.
