The Texas Oil Tools DSH Side Door Stripper Packer is the latest innovation of TOT’s commitment to coiled
tubing technology. Like all of TOT’s side door models the packing elements and bushings can be replaced
through the open door below the injector. Changing packers is easy through the side door even with tubing
in the well.
The DSH model has an increased open door length (7.0") to simplify the installation of hang-off slips that
eliminates the need for a separate window. A threaded bottom connection allows convenient replacement
in the event one is damaged or to change connections. Removal of the packers and bushings leaves a
full 3.06" diameter through bore for passage of larger tools.
The 3.06" DSH model can be installed in injector heads that conform to the 2.50" TOT side door stripper
packers.
Hydraulic pressure is required to open the packer cylinder exposing the packer, non-extrusion ring, and
bushings. A manually operated packer cylinder is also available. Please contact your local TOT sales
representative for further information.
The piston on the 3.06 DSH model is below the packer element. Having the piston in this position will decrease
the amount of hydraulic pressure required to pack-off around the coiled tubing.

3.0 OPERATION
Reference Drawing DSH4-T003
The DSH model side door has two separate hydraulic systems. The main system controls the movement
of the piston that packs off around the coiled tubing. The ports for this system are located on the
lower flange (retract) and just below the lower flange (pack-off).
The second system is for opening and closing the window. The ports for this system are located
on the upper flange 180E apart. To open the door, manually crank the lock screw (40) counter-clockwise
until the doors swing open. When the doors are open, apply hydraulic pressure to the “open door”
hydraulic port. This will move the window up leaving access to the packers and bushings. To close
the window, apply hydraulic pressure to the “close door” port. The window will move down and
bottom out. When the window stops, swing both doors in and crank the handles clockwise. The
crank prevents the doors from swinging open accidentally. Caution: DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL
WITH THE DOORS OPEN.

Stripping: Prior to using the tool, make sure the packers and bushings are in good condition. The
stop guard (doors) are closed, and the well bore seal (19) is in good condition. Hook up hoses
to the packoff and retract ports. Apply hydraulic pressure to the packoff port to initiate the seal.
The single most frequent cause of premature packer wear or failure is worn bushings. At very low
well pressure, and hydraulic pressure, you may be able to use worn bushings. At higher pressures,
it is essential that the non-extrusion ring and upper bushing fit closely to the tubing to prevent packer
extrusion. Bushings must be replaced frequently to minimize the extrusion gap.
To change packers: Apply hydraulic pressure to the "open door" hydraulic port located on the upper
flange. This will move the packer cylinder sleeve up completely exposing the packer. To prevent
accidental opening of the packer cylinder sleeve, a stop guard prevents upward movement of the
packer cylinder. Disarming the Stop Guard requires that the Lock Screws be retracted, and the
Stop Guard swung outward, clearing the Packer Cylinder.
The packer is an interlock design with an O.D. of 4.00". This Packer does not require an energizer.
The wear bushings above the packers are extra long, for better centering of the coiled tubing, and
longer wear life.
Only one seal is exposed to well pressure. That seal is the field proven design used in the heavy
duty hydraulic release connectors. For insurance, a second "reserve" seal is in place, and can be
placed in service even with the coiled tubing in the well. If the primary seal becomes damaged,
cut and remove it, and then slide the fresh reserve seal up and into place. Both the primary, and
reserve seal can be replaced without disassembly, when the coiled tubing is out of the stripper packer.

To change packers: While mounted in the injector, and hydraulic pressure is available, retract the
lock screw (40), swing the guard door lock assemblies (15) to open position. Apply hydraulic pressure
to the retract port located on the main body (29) to move the piston (25) to maximum downward
position. Apply hydraulic pressure to the retract port located on the upper hydraulic body (9) to move
the packer cylinder (7) to maximum upward position exposing the pack-off assembly, for removal
of the packer interlock (17), non-extrusion ring (16), and lower packer bushing (18).
To replace all seals: Drain all remaining hydraulic fluid from pack-off ports. Remove stripper packer
from the injector. Remove retainer ring (35), washer (20) and flange ring (21) from packer cylinder
(7). Remove two socket head cap screws ½-13 (1), split cap (2), and unscrew bushing sleeve (6).
Then, remove o-rings (3 and 4).
The packer cylinder must be removed from the top of the unit. The two ¼-20 UNC holes in the top
of the packer cylinder may help when removing. CAUTION: Take care when removing the packer
cylinder (7) as all I.D. and O.D. surfaces are for sealing.
Remove the bottom sub (30) by clamping on the main body (29) and turning counterclockwise. There
is enough room on top of the union nut (31) to use a wrench. Remove the o-ring (28).
The next step is to remove the cylinder head (22). Begin by removing the ½-13 socket head cap
screws with a d allen wrench. Remove the cylinder head (22).
Remove the piston (25) by driving it out from below. Be careful not to damage the sealing surfaces!!

The bushing extension assembly will raise the top of the stripper 4.50" above the existing split cap.
To install the bushing extension, remove the existing split cap and install the new one. The split
cap is only a housing for the bushings and does not retain the bushing stack. A new bushing guide
(42) must be added to extend the bushing stack to the top of the extended split cap (45).
These assemblies contain one bushing guide (42), the extended split cap (45) and the necessary hardware
to add the extension.
