1.0 INTRODUCTION
The "Combi" BOP is designed to accept Rams that combine the function of two Rams. This can
be either the combination of Shear and Seal (Blind), or Pipe and Slip. This BOP is equipped with two
inverted pipe/slip rams.
The most obvious benefit is the reduced height and weight of a Combi BOP. The second advantage is
with the Shear/Seal Rams, pipe can be cut and the Rams closed as blind, without the need to
move the pipe. After the Pipe is cut, continued travel of the Shear Blade moves the cut portion up and
out of the way of the Seal. Combi BOPs are available as Single, Double, or any multiple. Combi Rams
are longer than conventional, and can not be used in a regular BOP that is not designed for Combi
Rams.
2.0 FEATURES
HYDRAULIC OPERATION
Hydraulic system is fully operational at 2,200 psi, however is designed and tested to 3,000 psi.
EASY MAINTENANCE
No special handling tools required, the BOP breaks down into manageable units.
NO WELDS
Side Port Flange (optional) integral to BOP Body.
MANUAL LOCKS
Manual Locking Stems are non-rising; therefore, there are no threads exposed to become
dirty or bent.
PIPE/SLIP RAMS
Pipe/Slip Rams have replaceable Inserts to renew the teeth without the need to replace
the entire Ram, as well as providing a Pipe Seal.

All BOP's are hydrostatic and function tested per API Spec 6A.
The equalizing valves in this BOP are plugged to hold pressure above the ram. If the actuators
are turned “right side up” so that it can be used as a conventional BOP, the equalizing valve must be
reconfigured as a regular valve (See illustration).
Service Defined

3.0 OPERATION
The following instructions assume that the reader is educated and experienced in high pressure
well work, and H2S hazards. The following instructions relate only to the specific features of the
Texas Oil Tools Combi Blowout Preventer.
Be sure that the tool has been fully serviced by a competent technician. Do not assume that a
serviceable tool on the last job will be serviceable for the next. The rubber O-Rings, Front, Rear,
and Shear Seal Blades must be inspected. Slip teeth must be inspected to assure that they are
clean and sharp.
Check all flange and union seals and sealing surfaces for damage that might impair sealing.
Repair or replace.
Test all hydraulic functions, open and close each set of Rams.
Check the operation of the Manual Locks. NOTE: the Manual Locks must be fully open to permit
the Rams to fully open. The Rams can be closed manually. They can be opened only by hydraulic
pressure. If the Rams have been closed with hydraulic pressure, they may be locked by turning the
Handwheel approximately 50 turns clockwise. If the hydraulic system has failed, the Rams may be
closed with the same procedure; however the hydraulic fluid in front of the Piston must be able to

escape. The control valve must be in the "Close Rams" position. If the hydraulic hoses are not
connected, any quick connector check valve must be removed, or the check valve held open to permit
the hydraulic fluid to escape.
Pressure test the complete hook-up; BOP and all connections before starting the job.
All Ram Bodies are available, as ordered, in either Alloy, or Stainless Steel for long life and easy
maintenance.
Front and Rear Seals are made of Viton for the best life in H2S service, from -20°F to +250°F.Nitrile
seals are preferred for CO2 , and are lower cost. Low Temperature Nitrile is recommended for Arctic
temperatures to -50°F. Other seal materials are available for specific conditions.
Slip Rams have real oilfield type hardened slip teeth in replaceable inserts. Worn Slips can be easily
and economically replaced.
4.0 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY
Caution: the BOP is heavy be sure that the lifting and handling equipment can safely handle this
load. ALWAYS assume that something may break, never have any part of your body under the
suspended tool.
The BOP may be serviced either standing up or laying on its back. In either case, be sure that the
support is adequate and accounts for the shift in weight as the Bonnet Assemblies are removed.
Start with all Rams in the "open position". This will make it easier to remove the Ram from the bore
of the BOP, and with the Ram retracted into the Bonnet, it will not accidentally fall off as you
handle the sub-assembly.
Loosen all Cap Nuts (62), and Cap Screws (65) on each Bonnet approximately 1/4 turn. Remove
the Cap Nuts and install the Ram Change Rods (61). Remove the Cap Screws.
With the Ram Change Rods in place to support the Bonnet/Actuator Assembly and Ram, pull the
sub-assembly away from the Body (1). Take care! Do not use a pry bar as it will damage the
Bonnet or BOP sealing surface.

Rotate the Manual Lock right-hand to move the Ram out of the Bonnet. Take care that the Ram
does not slide off of the Guide. Rotate the Manual Lock left-hand to return it to the open position.
Note: this does not pull the Piston back to the open position, but will permit the hydraulic pressure
to retract the Ram during re-assembly.
If the BOP was not serviced after the last job, and a Ram is stuck, the following alternative will aid
in disassembly. Apply hydraulic pressure to "open" position, this will retract the Ram partially into
the Bonnet. This will permit application of hydraulic pressure even as the Bonnet moves away from
the BOP Body, when hydraulic pressure is applied to the "closed" position. When the Bonnet
Assembly has moved away from the BOP Body, place wood blocks between the Bonnet and Body.
Take care, not to damage the seal surfaces. Apply hydraulic pressure to "open" position, retracting
the Ram out of the Body.
There is a danger that they will fall off when the actuators are removed from the BOP.

IN FIELD TESTING
Test fluids. Normally cold water should be used for testing, however, a non-inflammable fluid may
be used if it is not harmful to any of the resilient seals. Test Pressure. Pressure shall not exceed
the rated Working Pressure of the specified assembly, open or closed. Test Pressure should be
regulated to the lowest Working Pressure of any outlet or connection, flanged or threaded. In NO
case shall the FIELD Test Pressure exceed the manufacturers rated WORKING pressure of the
product. Rated Test Pressure is a factory test of the product to prove the strength of the BOP
shell, and in NO case shall be used as working Pressure.
REPLACE: When usage has resulted in any noticeable loss of rubber, or if the bond between the
rubber and metal plates is separating.
Note: Field testing only to the maximum anticipated well pressure will extend the life of the seals.
AFTER 20 JOBS OR 12 MONTHS MAXIMUM (severe local conditions may require more frequent
inspection intervals)
Completely disassemble the BOP, Rams, and Equalizing Valve, replace all seals and worn parts.
Completely disassemble and inspect the Hydraulic Actuator Assembly. Replace all seals and worn
parts.
