The Quad BOP is generally designed to accept from the top down, blind rams, shear rams, slip rams and
pipe rams. The shear ram actuator incorporates a 7.00" diameter piston for increased shear force; the
remaining actuators are all 5.0" diameter pistons.
The Dual and Triple are designed to accept shear seal combination rams (top ram set), the triple with
independent slip rams and pipe rams (middle and bottom ram sets), and the dual with combination pipe
slip rams (bottom ram set). Thus the dual BOP provides all the functions normally seen on a conventional
"quad" coiled tubing BOP, but with the obvious benefits of reduced height and weight.
The Single Combi is designed to accept rams that combine the function of two rams. This can be either
the combination of shear and seal (blind) or pipe and slip.
1.0 FEATURES
Integral Equalizing Valves - Equalizing valve is integral to the body, no exposed plumbing or extra
seals to leak. Replaceable valve seat.
Well Pressure Isolated - Separate seals for hydraulic and well pressure with a vent to prevent well
pressure from entering the hydraulic system.
Hydraulic Operation - Hydraulic system rated to 3,000 psi.
Easy Maintenance - No special handling tools required, the BOP breaks down in small
manageable units. One man can easily handle the entire cleaning and maintenance job. No
difficult threads to align.
No Welds - Side port flange integral to BOP body.
Ram Position Indicators - Indicator rods give a reliable indication of the ram position.
Manual Locks - Manual locking stems are non-rising, therefore, there are no threads exposed to
become dirty or bent.
Cutting - Shear rams cut the coiled tubing leaving a clean end for circulating fluids or easy fishing.
The EC5R-OC88* shear rams are suitable for shearing any tubing size up to 3 " OD without the
need to change-out shear blades.
Slips - Slip rams have replaceable inserts to renew the teeth without the need to replace the entire
ram. Slips are manufactured with an interrupted tooth profile which gives minimum damage to
tubing and therefore better fatigue life. Slip Inserts - have hardened slip teeth in replaceable
inserts. Worn slips can be easily and economically replaced.
Change-out to Combination Rams - The shear rams have the capability to be changed-out to
combination shear seal rams by simply changing the ram assemblies. The shear seal rams offer
the advantage that pipe can be cut and the rams closed as blind, without the need to move the
pipe. After the pipe is cut, continued travel of the shear seal blade moves the cut portion up and
out of the way of the seal. It should be noted however that the existing shear rams do not
incorporate an equalizing valve in the BOP body, so special precautions would be required for
equalization prior to opening.
The blind, slip and pipe rams are interchangeable and either or all can be exchanged out for
combination pipe slip rams without the need to change piston rod and guide assemblies (NOTE:
tubing cannot be moved or “stripped” in any way through pipe slip rams). It should also be noted
that the existing slip rams do not incorporate an equalizing valve in the BOP body so special
precautions would again be required for equalization.

H2S Service - Materials in contact with pressured well fluids conform to NACE Specification MR-01-
75 for H2S Service.
Arctic Service - In addition to the NACE Specifications above meets the API 6A with Charpy
Impacts at -50°F.
North Sea Service - In addition to the NACE Specifications and API requirements additional
Charpy Impact and NDE are carried out. A Design Review and Certificate of Compliance by DNV,
Lloyds, or Bureau Veritas are furnished with the Data Book.
All BOPs are hydrostatic and function tested per API Spec 6A.
3.0 OPERATION
The following instructions assume that the reader is educated and experienced in high pressure
well work, and H2S hazards. The following instructions relate only to the specific features of the
Texas Oil Tools combi blowout preventer.
Be sure that the tool has been fully serviced by a competent technician. Do not assume that a
serviceable tool on the last job will be serviceable for the next. The rubber o-rings, front, rear and
shear seals must be inspected. Slip teeth must be inspected to ensure that they are clean and
sharp.
Check all flange and union seals and the sealing surfaces for damage that might impair sealing.
Repair or replace as necessary.
Test all hydraulic functions, open and close each set of rams.
Check the operation of the manual locks. NOTE: The manual locks must be fully open to permit the
rams to fully open.
Pressure test the complete hook up, BOP and all connections including the stripper packer before
starting the job.
Shear Blades for H2S Service - As noted in the NACE Specification MR-01-75 high strength and
high hardness steels are required for ram shear blades to shear drill pipe during emergency
conditions. However, the user should be advised that these materials are highly susceptible to
SSC (Sulphide Cracking).
Since during workover operations the blades may be exposed to H2S, the shear blades are made
with a soft core and hard case. The hard outer case will be susceptible to cracking. However, the
softer core will not be as likely to crack in an H2S environment. The case hardened blades will not
last as long as through hardened blades, but we feel that this is the best compromise for H2S
service.

4.0 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY
Reference Drawings 9324-1525 & 9324-1527
CAUTION: The BOP is heavy, be sure that the lifting and handling equipment can safely handle
this load. Always assume that something may break, never have any part of your body under the
suspended tool.
The BOP may be serviced either standing up or laying on its back. In either case be sure that the
support is adequate, and accounts for the shift in weight as the bonnet assemblies are removed.
The blind, slip and pipe rams are capable of being inverted if required. It should never be required
to invert the slip rams as the regular set up is capable of holding the same downward and upward
pull. However, there may be special applications requiring an inverted blind or pipe ram to be
installed into any of these ram cavities. Therefore, all the 5" actuators have this facility. NOTE: If
inverted rams are installed in any of the above, the corresponding equalizing valve MUST be
converted as per drawing 9327-0120 (nut (59) and plug (60) must be ordered separately).
Start with all rams in the open position. This will make it easier to remove the ram from the bore of
the BOP, and with the ram retracted into the bonnet it will not accidentally fall off as you handle the
subassembly.
Loosen all cap screws (9) and cap nuts (44) on each bonnet approximately 1/4 turn. Remove the
cap nuts and install the ram change rods (42). Remove the cap screws.
With the ram change rods in place to support the bonnet/actuator assembly and ram, pull the
subassembly away from the body (1). TAKE CARE! DO NOT USE A PRY BAR as it will damage
the bonnet or BOP body sealing surface.
Rotate the manual lock right-hand to move the ram out of the bonnet, note that this will displace the
hydraulic oil from the close side of the actuator. Take care that the ram does not slide off the guide.
Rotate the manual lock left-hand to return it to the open position, note this does not pull the piston
back but will permit the hydraulic pressure to retract the ram when necessary.
Remove ram from guide by lifting upwards, taking care not to damage the seal surface on the
bonnet or body.

handle (22) and retainer ring (25), remove hydraulic cap (26). Caution - Do not attempt to
remove the hydraulic cap by turning the handwheel. The torque will force the keys (29) out
against the threads in the cylinder and can damage the threads. As the hydraulic cap is removed,
the indicator rod (21) may remain attached to the piston. Take care that you do not bend the
indicator or damage the piston or cylinder. Remove the indicator rod.
Remove the keys (29) and push the stem assembly out of the hydraulic cap. The seal (27) can
now be removed. Take care not to scratch the sealing surface. To remove the indicator seal (18),

Clamp the bonnet (4) in a vice. Install two seals (7) with the seal lip toward you. (Note: On 5"
actuators, seal protector (55) must also be installed at this time). Install retainer (6). Next install
seal (10) with the lip toward you and then the retainer (11) and o-ring (8).
Install piston rod (12) with guide (5). Carefully slide piston rod through bonnet seals (7) and (10).
Install piston (14), o-ring (16), and set screws (15).
The adapter (46), seal (47) and gland (45) must be in place before installing cylinder (13). Install
the o-ring (48), adapter (46), seal (47) and gland nut (45). Install cylinder (13), elbow (32), o-ring
(31) and hex retainer (30) using a 5/8" Allen wrench inside the cylinder as a back up while
tightening the elbow (32). Slide the closing tube (41) with tube nut (33) and sleeve (34) in place
into the adapter, then bring it back to position with the elbow and tighten the nut (33).
Install the sleeve nut (20), bearing stack (28) and seal (27) onto the stem (24). Note: the seal lips
face toward the bearing stack. The bearing stack consists of two brass bearings and one steel
bearing. The brass must be on the outside with the steel in the middle. Install the stem
subassembly into the hydraulic cap (26). Install o-ring (19). Install indicator seal (18) with seal lips
toward you and seal retainer (17). Align the grooves in sleeve nut (20) with the drilled holes in the
hydraulic cap, install keys (29). NOTE: Grease in the drilled holes will help keep the keys in place
during assembly. Install the indicator rod (21), leaving it at near full extension.
Tip the subassembly slightly to one side to engage the indicator into the groove in the piston. Be
sure that it is in place. Tighten the hydraulic cap. If the indicator is not engaged into the groove on
the piston, the first time the actuator is opened it will ruin the piston by cutting a notch in the end of
the piston.

Complete steps for Minor Disassembly, Ram Change then start the following sequence:
Unscrew guide stud (52) from lower threaded hole of bonnet and rotate stud and ram guide (5) 180°.
Screw stud into upper threaded hole in bonnet.
With the ram inverted, complete procedure as per steps for Re-assembly following Ram Change.
NOTE: care must be taken when changing-out inverted rams as rams will fall off ram guide when bonnet is
pulled back on change rods if not restrained from doing so.
There is no external indication when rams are inverted therefore we would suggest a label (as minimum)
should be attached to inverted ram set actuators.
When using inverted rams the equalizing valve should be modified, as it is a type of needle valve that will
hold pressure best from one direction only. Refer to drawing 9327-0120 for modification. Replace seal
(37) with the nut (59) and plug (60). Note: The lips of the seals are assembled to face toward the nut. The
stem (36) must be in the fully open position to permit correct seating of the bonnet (35).

PRE-TEST CHECKS - Ensure that slip rams and pipe rams (or shear seal rams and pipe slip rams
if using combination rams) are dressed with the correct size of inserts for the workstring being
employed.
Visually inspect all externals of the BOP, checking for any damage to indicator rods, integral
hydraulics pipework, etc.
TEST PRESSURES - All body tests and ram seal tests should not exceed 10,000 psi. Rams
should also be periodically tested to 100 psi.
Hydraulic actuator shell tests should not exceed 3,000 psi in either the open or closed positions.
TEST FLUID - The test fluid for body tests should always be water, preferably with an inhibitor such
as Rust Veto MP, or equivalent. Hydraulic actuator tests should always utilize the control fluid that
the unit normally uses in service.
REPEAT FACTORY ACCEPTANCE TESTS - If any major pressure containing components are
replaced, the portion of the BOP affected should be tested in accordance with the relevant section
of the original F.A.T. Procedure. This can be found in the Data package supplied with the
equipment. If any minor components or seals are replaced, this is not necessary.
Inspect Ram Rubber Seals - Normal wear will be a moderate amount of extrusion downstream of
the pressured side.
Replace - When usage has resulted in any noticeable loss of rubber, or if the bond between the
rubber and metal plates is separating. Note: Field testing only to the maximum anticipated well
pressure will extend the life of the seals.
Inspect Bonnet O-Ring Seals - Any extrusion indicated improper tightening of the bonnet nuts.
Extrusion all around the o-ring indicates even, but inadequate tightening of the bonnet nuts.
Extrusion over only a part of the o-ring indicates uneven tightening of the bonnet nuts.
Completely disassemble the equalizing valve, replace all seals and worn parts.
Completely disassemble and inspect the hydraulic actuator assembly. Replace all seals and worn
parts.
Always store and operate the BOP with the equalizing valve closed.
