Product overview
The Flint Subsea Kill Line Connector is installed on the end of a downline or jumper and provides protection against vessel drift or drive-off. It is a full-bore pressure balanced system suitable for operating in up to 10000ft water depth and pressures up to 15000PSI. Normal connection and disconnection is performed with the hotstab whilst emergency release occurs passively or actively via the Mid Line Weak
The system comprises a female receptacle and a male assembly. The female receptacle has a very small footprint and is mounted on the subsea tools or manifold. The male assembly includes a hot stab, hose assembly and EQD and is mounted on the end of a jumper or downline. An optional valve can be installed between the hose and hot stab giving flexibility around deployment and recovery.
OPERATIONS
In normal operations, the dual port hot stab provides quick and easy means of connection and disconnection. A locking handle is turned to lock and unlock the hot-stab in the receptacle. Upon connection, the hydraulic release function is engaged automatically through the dual port hot stab and secondary hydraulic hot stabs are not required.
In the event of an emergency, the Mid Line Weak Link can be disconnected actively or passively up to 16° angle. In passive mode, the tensile hose load will pull the system apart. In active mode, hydraulic pressure is supplied from the subsea tool or manifold and the unit is pushed apart. In both cases, internal valves shut off automatically and prevent egress and ingress of fluids or gases from the bore to the environment.
