HYDRIL SuPreme™ LX HANDLING PLUGS

Jan-06

Hydril SuPreme LX handling plugs are designed to protect threads, shoulders, and the seal of the connection
during running with slip type elevators. These handling plugs are a new design and can now also be used
with collar type elevators. The OD lifting shoulder of the SLX handling plug is approximately equal to the OD
of the API casing coupling for the applicable casing size, permitting it to be run through spiders and
elevators. The SLX handling plugs are rated consistent with API hoisting requirements and are drifted large
enough to provide protection to the box while running ID tools. These handling plugs also act as an
emergency catch when hanging in the slips.

To be able to pass over the box, collar-type elevators should have an ID bore approximately 0.5% larger
than the connection OD.
