The Slimconnect external slip connector allows the attachment of coiled tubing to the CT tool work string via the provision of a threaded connection.
The Slimconnect connector has an OD that is smaller than a standard external slip connector. This enables the Slimconnect connector to be used in operations where the coiled tubing is to be run through a restricted ID.
The design of the Slimconnect connector utilizes a set of helical slips that grip the tubing in a wedging action. This increase in tension results in increased grip.
The external slip type connectors have O-ring pressure seals as standard equipment.
