Streamlined, clearance OD facilitates running, pulling, and circulating and eliminates coupling face hang-up.
Exceptional torque strength developed through the simultaneous engagement of the double hooked dovetail thread.
100% internal pressure rated metal seal maintains gas sealing capability under high axial loads. The shallow angle run out chamfer on the pin ID promotes uniform stress under the seal around the full circumference of the connection.
