Sharpe® bull plugs are solid pressure-containing closures designed for female-threaded ends or outlet connections, often featuring an internal counter-bore and/or test port. These robust isolation devices are essential for ensuring the integrity and safety of piping systems, conduits, and wellbore tubulars. With our commitment to precision engineering and quality, Sharpe® bull plugs provide reliable performance.

At Sharpe®, we manufacture Valve Removal (VR) Plugs that are precision-engineered to facilitate gate valve removal under pressure. Designed to meet API 6A standards, these threaded plugs can be installed in wellhead outlets to isolate the valve from pressure, allowing for convenient repair or replacement. Our VR Plugs are compatible with all standard API 6A valve sizes, ensuring reliable performance and ease of use during maintenance operations in the oil and gas industry.

Top Connectors are essential for effective surface pressure control in wellhead equipment. Sharpe® Top Connectors are designed to provide a secure mechanical joint with a reliable pressure seal. A prime example is our Tree Caps, which are installed atop the Christmas tree assembly. These Tree Caps are equipped with a pressure gauge mounted on the top plug, allowing precise measurement of well pressure. In addition to pressure monitoring, Tree Caps offer convenient access to the wellhead for ongoing service and maintenance. Trust Sharpe® for superior Top Connectors that enhance safety and operational efficiency in your oil and gas operations.

Adapter Spools are essential pressure control components designed to connect two pieces of equipment with differing end connections. Sharpe® design and manufacture adaptor spools to precise lengths, these spools featuring various nominal end flanged connections to your size and specification, in pressure ratings ranging from 1000 psi to 20,000 psi, ensuring reliable and consistent performance within your production system.

Additionally, we produce API 6A Spacer Spools, which feature an extended body and end connections, used to position blowout preventers or wellheads and choke manifolds apart as needed.

Our Double Studded Adapters (DSAs) are engineered for wellhead systems, featuring double-studded flange connections with flange sizes and pressure ratings customised to your specification. Sharpe® DSAs come with a through bore, ring grooves on each side, drilled and tapped bolt hole sets, and end studs with nuts on both sides, ensuring robust and versatile connections.

Crucial pressure-containing fittings for the oil and gas industry Tees and Studded Crosses divert, bypass or distribute fluid flow and typically feature four connections aligned in a single plane, with two connections forming an in-line run. Sharpe® can also manufacture 5-Way and 6-Way configurations to suit various operational needs. Designed to meet API Spec 6A standards, we provide both studded and flanged options for crosses and tees. These fittings ensure robust, reliable performance in pressure control applications, making them an essential component for managing flow and pressure in complex wellhead systems.

Sharpe® manufactures high-quality Threaded Connectors, including Companion Flanges and Brackets, designed to transition from flanges of various sizes and pressures to threaded connections. Our API 6A threaded/companion flanges offer a flexible solution for connecting piping systems in oil and gas applications, enabling quick and easy installation or removal without welding. This design ensures a secure, leak-proof fit, enhancing system reliability and reducing maintenance downtime. Ideal for systems that require frequent reconfiguration, such as wellheads and manifold setups, our flanges come in an extensive range of sizes and pressure ratings.

Blind Flanges are flat components in a piping system, with no centre bore, used to fully seal off flanged ends or outlet connections. They play an essential role in closing the end of the pipe to temporarily block the flow of fluids or gases — beneficial when a pipeline needs to be separated from the rest of the system for maintenance, repairs, or other reasons.

Test Flanges, similar to a Blind Flange, include a tapped port with relevant bolt holes to facilitate pressure monitoring or gauge attachment. Both flange types play a crucial role in maintaining pressure integrity and ensuring safety in demanding operational environments.

While our flanges are specifically designed for the Oil & Gas Industry, Sharpe® can manufacture flanges to suit a range of industrial applications.

Sharpe® specialise in the design and manufacture of high-quality casing hangers that provide reliable support and secure anchoring for casing strings within the wellhead housing. Each casing hanger is installed on top of the casing string to ensure optimal weight distribution and stability. Our casing hangers feature a top member that transfers the weight of the casing string to the casing head, while the bottom member centralises the casing string and absorbs any side bending loads from string movement.

Sharpe® manufactures slip type casing hangers that meet API 6A standards, engineered to effectively support and transfer the weight between the casing string and the surface wellhead.

Blow Out Preventer (BOP) test stumps are essential for pressure and function testing BOPs on drilling and workover rigs. Sharpe® designs and manufactures these test stumps to precisely match the BOP’s size and pressure rating, including bore diameters of 7 1/16”, 9”, 11”, and 13 5/8”, with pressure ratings up to 10,000 psi.

Our test stumps feature machined rotary shoulder connection boxes, allowing for a variety of mandrel sizes to be attached for comprehensive function testing. Each stump may include base plates, side and bottom ports, and either fixed or removable test mandrel retaining threads to accommodate different test mandrel sizes as required.
