Latch-down Plugs

Forum’s Davis-Lynch product line offers 10ksi, 5.500″ Special Clearance latch down cementing plugs that have the ability to pass through restrictions as small as 3.650″ with only 200psi of pump pressure while still effectively wiping the primary casing ID. The “SC” plug delivers the performance of its predecessor while utilizing the patented ratchet latching system made from high strength aluminum that provides sure engagement and anti-rotation. The dual O-ring nose profile delivers a sure seal when engaged in the catch collar or in the receptacle of the bottom plug.

The “SC” latch down plugs are designed to be run in pairs with the bottom plug having a hollow ID and a burst disk that carries a rupture point between 900-1500psi. The top plug has a solid body and nose to deliver the sealing ability that is rated up to 10ksi. The wiper body used on the “SC” plugs is made from highly durable rubber that is resistant to most chemicals found in well bores, ensuring the plug does not degrade as it is being run in hole. These items are available on special order.
