GB 3P Connections

Features

PDF Printer Friendly Version
  • Twin cantilever design reinforces the coupling, creates high contact pressure (leak resistance) in mating threads, limits expansion and distortion from make-up, reduces assembly pre-stresses, and minimizes thread galling.

  • Easy stabbing without cross threading.

  • Makes up to an internal torque shoulder in 5 to 6 turns and has API triangle stamp for secondary make-up verification.
  • Inspect with standard API and MRP gauges and procedures and meets API Drift and OD Specifications.
  • Maintains pressure integrity when special clearance.
Options
  • Special Clearance OD (SC): Specify GB 3P SC when ordering. See Data Sheets for minimum special clearance OD and associated properties.
  • Beveled Bearing Faces: Specify (1) GB 3P for API Bearing Face (standard), (2) GB 3P SB for Short Bevel (45°), or (2) GB 3P LB Long Bevel (18°). (Special Clearance connections cannot be furnished with a bevel).      Bevels
