  • Special metering cartridge ensures that the ball valve opens and closes reliably
  • Acidizing and fracturing pressure does not affect the position of the ball valve
  • Shear pin fixes the ball valve position while running in
  • Circulation and acidizing can be performed while the packer is unset
  • High operating pressure provides maximum shut-in force
