Aluminum Eccentric Nose

Primary Application:
The aluminum eccentric nose is specifically designed for applicaƟons where obstrucƟon may be encountered
when running float equipment into a hole. The eccentric shape of the nose allows the nose to slip past
obstrucƟons. The aluminum construcƟon of the nose also protects the float valve from damage.

Performance Features:
• Rugged heavy duty one piece construcƟon of cast aluminum alloy.
• LH threads aƩaching it to the float equipment for ease of drilling.
• 3 downward facing 1” down jets for circulaƟon; aimed down to help clear the wellbore.

Benefits:
• Help guide float equipment past obstrucƟons
• Closed shape with down jets prevents debris from entering the nose and damaging the float valve.
