Back Pressure Pump
"Back Pressuring" raises pressure inside the retriever to a level slightly higher than line pressure, thereby
preventing a surge of pressure during plug removal, and also helps to loosen and repel any debris that may have
accumulated in the access fitting.

Back pressure can easily be introduced into the retriever through either of the bleed ports on the retriever or
service valve. For more details see Back Pressure Pump Data Sheet.

How to Order
Sizing of Retrievers is governed by the length of stroke required. Stroke length is the distance the plug assembly
and its longest attachment must travel from the seated position within the access fitting through the Service Valve
that will allow the valve to be closed. After minimum stroke length is determined, the Retriever Kit with the next
longest stroke length should be selected.
