* On some Camco tools, the dogs expand outside the nominal OD when sheared.
The correct Pulling Tool for each type of latch and side pocket mandrel can be determined from the chart on page 10-17. The following tools are used to pull the common range of latches:
1 1/4" JDC Standard Camco jar down to shear pulling tool. Refer to the facing page for details.
1 1/4" JDC-1 As for JDC above, but with a shorter reach and no threads in the core.
1.66" SM Otis version of the SB with a hole in the core to take the latch top.
1 5/8" JDS Camco jar down to shear pulling tool with a medium reach.
1 1/2" SB Otis jar down to shear pulling tool with a short reach.
2" JDC Camco jar down to shear pulling tool with a short reach.
2" SM Otis jar down to shear pulling tool with a hole in the core to take the latch top.
It is recommended that Camco / Otis tools should match the latch manufacturer to ensure compatible fishing neck angles.
PULLING TOOLS
Spacer Bars Attention should be paid to the use of the correct spacer bar, as this provides the correct leverage and reach to enable the pulling tool to engage the latch. This becomes critical in highly deviated well where the SPM may be positioned ‘belly’ upwards.
