Dimple Grapple Connector

The Dimple Grapple Connector is used to join two strings of coiled tubing. This connector is designed for use in cases where the spool cannot take all of the coiled tubing required for a hang-off or work-over and additional coiled tubing is needed. The first string is run into the well and secured by the slips of the Annular Control Valve. The tubing is cut above the Annular Control Valve and the second string of coiled tubing is then fed through the injector, and the tubing strings are joined with the connector. Once the connector is installed, the grapple slips are energized by tightening down the grapple cap, which locks securely around the coiled tubing.
