CIRCULATING VALVES

WCS SERIES CIRCULATING VALVES
The OPTI-FLOW WCS Series circulating valves protect the seal bores of side pocket mandrels from erosion and abrasion when circulating fluids or gases through the mandrel’s ports. The double check valves in this series permit flow only from the annulus to the tubing. Higher circulating rates are achieved when installing these valves with a ported latch.

WCS Valve Series
  • The WCS-1 model is a 1” O.D. valve
  • The WCS-1.5 model is a 1-1/2” O.D. valve

Applications:
Installed in 1” and 1-1/2” side pocket mandrels to prevent circulated gases or fluids from damaging the side pocket seal bores. These valves are designed for high gas or fluid rate passage requirements during circulation.

Features:
  • Stainless steel or Monel® materials available
  • Standard Nitrile® packing element system with other packing materials available
  • Abrasion resistant overlays available
  • Increased flow area since flow permitted from both nose and latch ends
  • Integral double check valve design to prevent tubing-to-casing annulus flow
  • Installed with a ported latch for increased circulation rates
