Splice / Gauge Protectors

Splice & Gauge Protectors: Reliable Protection for Critical Downhole Connections

FET’s splice protectors, part of our trusted Cannon Services product line and MultiLift artificial lift solutions, are engineered to safeguard cable splices from mechanical stress during installation, retrieval, and long-term operation in the wellbore.

With a wide range of configurations and materials, we build our protectors to meet the demands of complex well designs, including high-angle and offshore/subsea environments.

Key Benefits

  • Prevent costly damage to cable splices during installation and workovers, ensuring uninterrupted performance of ESPs, sensors, and other downhole systems.
  • Our high-durability designs are reusable across multiple well cycles, helping operators cut costs on recompletions and reduce non-productive time.
  • From deepwater to deviated wells, our protectors are built to perform in the most challenging environments with a fast, secure installation that minimizes rig time.

Key Features

  • Flexible Fit: Interchangeable designs for tubing ODs from 2.375″ to 13.75″ +
  • Versatile Configurations: Flat-to-flat, round-to-round, and flat-to-round splice compatibility
  • Broad Compatibility: Supports TEC, hydraulic lines, fiber optics, and more
  • Custom-Built: Tailored to your well’s specifications
  • Deployment Options: Mid-joint or cross-coupling assemblies
  • Material Choices: Available in corrosion-resistant alloys and specialty steels
  • High-Angle Ready: Designed for complex well trajectories

Applications

  • Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) cable splices
  • Heater cable splices
  • Downhole pressure/temperature transducer Y-blocks
  • TEC and fiber optic splices

Protect your investment below the surface.
FET’s splice protectors deliver the durability, adaptability, and performance your operations demand well after well.

Cross Coupling Protector

Reliable Protection for Downhole Cables — Even in the Harshest Environments

Downhole cables are especially vulnerable during installation and retrieval. FET’s cross-coupling protectors safeguard virtually any configuration of control lines, electric submersible pump (ESP) cables, umbilical lines, or encapsulated bundles within the wellbore.

Each protector features a robust channel that shields cables as they transition across the coupling, minimizing the risk of damage during completion operations. The compressive fit design accommodates both oversized and undersized tubing per API specifications, ensuring a secure grip on cables and lines.

Built for Tough Conditions: Super 25 Cross-Coupling Protectors

For wells exposed to aggressive environments, our Super 25 cross-coupling protectors offer the same dependable functionality as our standard models with the added advantage of exceptional corrosion resistance. Whether you’re operating in offshore, subsea, or high-angle wells, installation is fast and efficient using air-driven hydraulic tools.

These protectors are part of FET’s Cannon Services product line and the broader Multilift™ Solutions catalog.

Mid Joint Clamp

Mid-Joint Clamps: Reliable Cable Protection Between Couplings

For enhanced downhole cable protection, pair FET’s Mid-Joint Clamps with our Cross-Coupling Protectors along the tubing string. Installed between tubing joints, these clamps secure virtually any configuration of control lines, capillaries, or cables, ensuring stability and protection throughout the well.

Designed with a compressive fit mechanism that meets American Petroleum Institute (API) specifications, these clamps accommodate both oversize and undersize tubing while providing a firm engagement of the cables to the tubing body.

Part of FET’s Cannon Services product line and the broader Multilift Solutions catalog, our mid-joint clamps are designed for optimal performance in even the most demanding well environments.

Key Benefits

  • Prevents costly damage to cables and capillaries during installation and retrieval
  • Highly reusable, which is ideal for reducing costs during well workovers
  • Protects cable integrity in complex offshore and subsea well designs
  • Quick and easy installation reduces workover time and operational costs
