The "BR-3 Double-Grip" is a truly versatile set-down type packer. Proven by its world-wide use, it performs reliably in production, stimulation and testing operations.

• Hydraulic button-type hold down located below the bypass valve.

• Unique, built-in, "differential lock" helps keep the by pass valve closed.

• Effective bypass design speeds equalization and resists swab-off.

• Field-proven, three-element packing system and rocker-type slips.

TO SET THE PACKER : The "BR-3" is set by picking up, rotating to the right and then slacking off on the tubing. Set-down weight closes and seals the bypass valve, sets the slips and packs-off the packing element.

TO RELEASE THE PACKER : Picking up the tubing releases the packer (no rotation required). When the tubing is raised, the bypass valve opens to permit circulation through and around the packer

When the tubing string is raised the full length of the packer, the J-pins (on the bottom sub) are oriented for automatic re-engagement. By then lowering the tubing slightly, the J-pin engages the J-slot thus assuring complete release and preventing accidental resetting while retrieving the packer.
