1.2 GREASEAL™ PLUG

The patented GreaSeal

™

plug is designed to provide maximum lubrication in the

harshest field conditions. Key features include:



The only plug that
allows greasing in the
opened or closed

position while in
service.



Dual 360

grease

channels.



Forces grease into 360

of the seal area when

closed.



Allows for complete

distribution of lubricant
immediately prior to

opening a valve when
exposure to high
temperatures and well

fluids may have
compromised the

existing grease.



Greasing in the closed

position can stop or
significantly slow leaks

in valves with worn or
damaged parts.



Grease fitting installs

from the bottom of the
plug for added

protection from
impacts.
