No, the Upper and Lower valves make up to the top-drive and actuator exactly like the original equipment did.
FAQs
Does the M & M Bottom Load Valve System (BLVS) require any special modifications to the top-drive or actuator?
Will our Varco top-drive replacement valves integrate with the M&M BLVS?
No, while the Upper and Lower valves bodies and their connections are dimensionally identical to the Varco valves, the M&M BLVS valves internal profile is unique. The M&M Lower valve has an extension or nose built on top of the pin connection and this extension mates into a unique ID profile in the Upper valve, holding the canister in place.
