BOF-1.5 Orifice Valve

Product Family No. H86009

Description
Baker Oil Tools BOF-1.5 Orifice Valve is a
1-1/2 inch OD valve used to control gas and or fluid
volume from the casing annulus into the tubing
where pressure control is not necessary.
The valve is designed with a square edged seat
which, when properly sized, allows volume control
when the casing and tubing pressures are known.
An integral reverse flow check prevents gas and or
fluid from flowing from the tubing back into the cas-
ing annulus.
The BOF-1.5 valve consists of a body, seat
housing, square edged seat, and check housing
with a reverse flow check drop. The valve is avail-
able in either stainless steel or nickel alloys for cor-
rosion resistance in wells with high concentrations
of H2S or CO2. Packing and elastomeric materials
for the valve are available for standard service,
corrosive service, or special individual well condi-
tions.
The simple design of the orifice valve allows for
easy replacement of the packing and for rapid low-
cost repair of components. The rugged, solid con-
struction and quality materials provide for a long
service life.

Operation Valve Application And Operation

Refer to Drawing No’s. 399-575 and 399-574.
Drawing No. 399-575
A properly sized square edged orifice (seat) is
installed in the valve. Prior to running, the appropri-
ate top mounted R series latch is threaded on to
the top of the valve. This assembly can then be in-
stalled into a side pocket mandrel on the surface
before running the tubing string into the well or by
using standard wireline tools and methods if the
tubing string has already been installed in the well.
When the valve has been installed in the man-
drel pocket, the tubing is isolated from the casing
annulus by the valve's two sets of packing located
above and below the mandrel side ports.
In operation, gas and or fluid that is injected into
the casing annulus enters through the ports in the
side pocket mandrel. This gas and or fluid then en-
ters through the ports in the valve that are located
in the seat housing between the two sets of pack-
ing. The gas and or fluid then flows through the
square edged seat, past the reverse flow check
drop, through the nose and into the tubing.
Reverse flow through the valve is prevented by
the reverse flow check drop in the valve's check
housing.
The check drop seats against a fixed elasto-
meric primary seal with a metal to metal secondary
seal.
The BOF-1.5 orifice valve is available with
square edged orifice (seat) sizes of 1/8 through
1/2 inch.

Recommended Tools And Supplies For
Assembly, Setting, And Disassembly
1. Thread Lubricant (Anti-galling compound such
as API modified thread compound)
2. Seal and Packing Lubricant
(Silicon O-ring lubricant)
3. #2 Parmalee Pipe Wrench (friction), 2 required
4. Small Bench Vise
5. 12" Pipe Wrench
6. Hydraulic Sealant (Loctite #569)
7. 1/2" x 6" Wood Dowel
8. Internal Snap Ring Pliers
Disassembly
Refer to Drawing No. 399-574.
1. Insure valve is uniform and straight (not bent).
2. Place the orifice valve into a mounted friction
wrench gripping onto the Body (1) as close to
the latch assembly as possible so that it pro-
trudes to the right of the friction wrench. Using
a 12 inch pipe wrench, remove the latch from
the BOF-1.5 if required.
3. Place the orifice valve into the mounted friction
wrench gripping onto the Body (1) just above
the Upper Packing Rings (2) such that the top
packing set is to the right of the friction wrench.
Lock the second friction wrench onto the Seat
Housing (4), loosen and remove.
4. Remove the Upper Packing Rings (2) and Up-
per Packing Follower (3) from the Body (1).
5. Place the Check Housing (12) and Seat Hous-
ing (4) into the mounted friction wrench in such
a way that the Nose (15) is to the right of the
wrench.
6. Lock the second friction wrench onto the Nose
(15), loosen and remove.
7. Remove the Lower Packing Rings (14) and
Lower Packing Follower (13) from the assem-
bly.
8. Place the Seat Housing (4) into the mounted
friction wrench in such a way that the Check
Housing (12) is to the right of the wrench. Loos-
en and remove the Check Housing.

9. Remove the Check Pad (9), Check Pad Retain-
er (10) and Check Drop (11) from the bore of
the upper end of the Check Housing (12).
10.With the internal snap ring pliers, remove the
Retainer Ring (5) from above Seat (6).
11.With wooden dowel remove Seat (6) from Seat
Housing (4) by tapping up from the lower end.
12.If the valve has been in service, discard the
packing and all O-rings.
Assembly
Refer to Drawing No. 399-574.
1. Insert the O-ring (7) into the Seat (6) O-ring
groove. Lubricate the O-ring.
2. Insert the Floating Seat (6) using the wooden
dowel to push it into the Seat Housing (4). The
seat must be seated at the flat bottom of the
Seat Housing.
3. Using the internal snap ring pliers, insert the
Retainer Ring (5) into the Retainer Ring groove
just above the Floating Seat (6) in the Seat
Housing (4). Be sure the ring is completely
seated in the groove.
4. Lubricate and install Upper Packing Rings (2)
and Upper Packing Follower (3) as shown on
assembly drawing onto the Body (1).
5. Lubricate threads and install Seat Housing (4)
onto the Body (1). Place the Body into the
mounted friction wrench with the Seat Housing
protruding to the left of the wrench. Lock the
second wrench over the Seat Housing and
tighten the threads of the assembly.
6. Insert the Check Drop (11) into the Check
Housing (12). The rounded dome of the Check
Drop must point upward toward the upper end
of the Check Housing for proper operation.
7. Insert the Check Pad Retainer (10), beveled
side down, above the Check Drop (11). The
beveled side of the Check Pad Retainer should
contact the vanes of the Check Drop.
8. Insert the Check Pad (9) beveled side up. The
flat side of the Check Pad contacts the flat top
side of the Check Pad Retainer (10).
9. Lubricate and insert O-ring (8) into the Seat
Housing (4) O-ring groove.
