A restrictor screw is standard. Ranges are from 1,000 to 20,000 psi. The Christmas tree gauge is available with optional safety glass, safety case, fill fluids and Winters Stabilizer pointer movement feature. Expandable reamer.

The dependable ball-drop mechanism activates the cutter blades, which are deployed with fluid circulation and deactivated when circulation is stopped. This design eliminates premature triggering independent of WOB, flow or BHA pressure.
