The FlowGARD-DS™ Nipples provide a means for hydraulic communication from a surface hydraulic control line to either the tubing retrievable safety valve below, or to the secondary wireline retrievable insert safety valve. FlowGARD-DS™ Nipples are rated to 15,000 psi and designed for use with either API standard weight or non-API heavy-weight production tubing and can be installed in sweet or severely corrosive well conditions.

All FlowGARD-DS™ Nipples feature proven metal-to-metal, patented testable body joints, and hydraulic communication/isolation sealing technology. They also feature field-proven testable hydraulic control line connections. FlowGARD-DS™ Nipples can be supplied with a wide variety of locking profiles and polished bores. They also allow for short secondary wireline insert safety valves and provide significant outside diameter bypass for lower completion control line(s)/flatpack(s) clearance.
