The IPB Flexible Handle for ROV manipulation and operation is the best choice for multiple usage functions and all manufacturer’s ROV jaws. Different from those of competing brands, it supports its own weight plus the attaching Hot-Stab, facilitating ease of installation, in a timely manner by the ROV.
The section between handling rod and end connection is an elastomeric body offering outstanding flexibility to the Handle. And the metallic internal body has a unique electrical conductivity system which prevents loss of current to the cathodic protection system.
Dimensions, materials and finish are according to ISO 13628-8 (API 17D). End Connections can be fabricated to fit all the usable, needed configurations, such as flanged connection, threaded or smooth tips.
Other handling profiles and end connections can be manufactured to meet any operating needs.
Our tools have a flexibility range of plus or minus 30 degrees relative to X and Y axes. Torsion resistance also meets ISO 13628-8 standards.
Field proven exposure and experiences have shown that the IPB ROV Handle is the best choice.
