CVC Connector System

OneSubsea CVC Connector System
Your connection to precision engineering and reliability
RELIABLE. CLEAN. SIMPLE.
OneSubsea advances state-of-the-art subsea technology

for our customers once again with the OneSubsea CVC
Connector the highly successful field-proven system
for connecting flowlines and export lines. The CVC
connectors components include a hub support mounted
on the subsea structure; a collet connector mounted on
the flowline or jumper to be connected; and a retrievable,
reusable running tool independently operated by ROV
with no hydraulics on the connections themselves.
Designed to satisfy your subsea production requirements
while saving money in the process, the CVC connector is
simple, versatile and reliable.
the first all-electric DC subsea production system.

Time after time, OneSubsea technology gives you the
competitive edge you seek.
With the CVC connector, you get the total package only
OneSubsea can deliver. Experienced leadership in quality,
reliability and innovation. The first subsea completion.
The OneSubsea SpoolTree Subsea Production System,
the first horizontal tree. The OneSubsea DC System,
Excellence in HSSE. In tandem with our customers,

contractors and suppliers, we are committed to a working
environment where health, safety, security and the
environment are our priorities.
A solid track record of field-proven performance. From

the first, to the worlds largest, to the worlds deepest
installation. Since 1998, more than 1000 CVC connectors
have been installed in more than 50 projects worldwide.
Expertise in engineering and R&D. True to OneSubsea
quality, CVC connectors are designed to perform to your
satisfaction. You get strong, reliable connections that are
designed to be cost-effective.

Alignment Structure
Running Tool
Available in two size ranges (4to 12 and 14 to 20),
CVC running tools can be used for multiple applications.
Doghouse
Thermal qualification testing is performed on the
insulation doghouse used on flowline connectors.
Seal Replacement Tool

If necessary, the CVC tool can be used to remove
and replace the gasket without retrieving the jumper
to surface.
Connector
To lock and preload the connector, the actuator ring
moves downward over the finger sets four- degree taper,
and the segmented fingers pivot to grasp the mating hub.
Standard CVC Hubs

The receiver structure and hub support are compact,
reducing weight and allowing other components to be
positioned more closely to save space.
Pressure Cap
CVC pressure caps are easily installed, tested and
retrieved.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
RELIABLE MECHANICAL
CONNECTION
The running tool incorporates a
hydraulically operated actuator
ring that locks pivoting collet
segments under the tapered
profile of the hub to form a strong
connection capable of handling
high bending loads.
MISALIGNMENTS
ACCOMMODATED
The system can accommodate two
degrees of misalignment.
OneSubsea has installed CVC
jumpers subsea onto hubs with
up to six degrees of vertical
inclination and conducted testing
on the surface with hubs at 14
degrees of inclination.
COST-EFFECTIVE
Because the running tool is
completely independent and is
retrieved to the surface after the
connection is made, no hydraulic
components are left subsea.
SIMPLE MAKEUP
Collet connectors are lowered
directly onto the hubs. No
pipe deflection is needed to
make up the connection.
FLEXIBLE TOOLING
With CVC connectors, two running
tools do the job of many. One
accommodates a 4 to 12 size range,
the other, a 14 to 20, so both can be
used for multiple applications.
A LEader in Quality and Reliability

CVC connector installation is simple, reliable, and costeffective. With its retrievable and reusable running tool, multiple
connections can be made without additional tool investment.
1
The jumper is installed into the CVC running
tools. This assembly is attached to a spreader beam
and then lowered, with the ROV assisting in final
positioning over the receiver hubs.
3
The ROV releases the CVC running tools. Once the
locking of both connectors is complete, the tools and
spreader beam are retrieved to the surface.
2
The ROV hydraulically actuates the CVC running
tools to soft land the connector, then make up and
verify the connection.
4
The flowline is complete, securely connecting the
subsea tree to the manifold. The result is a strong,
mechanical connection, leaving no hydraulics subsea.
