The Quick Lock Connection provides a method of attaching and releasing tools by hand. The male half is mated with the female half, then rotated through 90 degrees. A spring loaded spade in the female section engages a slot in the male section and locks the assembly in place. It is released by pushing upon the spring and rotating again through 90 degrees. It eliminates the chance of items backing off and does away with the need for pipe wrenches.
ADVANTAGES :
- The joint strength of wireline tools with quick lock connections is much higher than the joint strength of API sucker rod connection.
- There is no need to use wrenches to make or break connections.
- It is a safer & faster method of connection.
- There is no possibility of unscrewing downhole.
The Quick Lock Connections are available in following sizes:
1) 1-1/2
2) 1-7/8
3) 2-1/8
