 INTRODUCTION
NOV Hercules products are recognized for superior quality and design,
unsurpassed in the oilfield. From the largest range of stuffing boxes
and production BOPs to the most comprehensive line of polished rod
accessories, Hercules equipment can complete a total hookup.

CRITICAL SERVICE HOOKUP

The critical service hookup is a complete solution of
Hercules products placed on wells to protect them from
pressure migration that can occur from nearby fracking
operations.

Protection from offset frac

5000 psi rated BOP
Reduced stack height
Built-in flow line
Reduced connections
Optional 2.06" 5M API flanged outlets
Automated BOP option

 INVERTED CONE STUFFING BOXES
Hercules inverted cone stuffing boxes feature unique inverted
cone packing that is pressure activated by well fluids; providing
a superior seal without excessive tightening. The packing is
very easy to adjust and results in a more uniform and longer
lasting seal.

REGULAR INVERTED
STUFFING BOX (IVSB)
Lowest profile design
Ideal for smaller pumping units
Furnished with three Top Cones and one Bottom Cone.
One Top Cone (thin cone) can be removed to reduce overall
height even further without impairing pressure rating
(if reduced packing life is acceptable)
A Polish Rod Support (PRS) is required during well servicing
to prevent the transfer of rod string weight to the packing
