The X Lock is a selective lock which can be installed in the chosen X landing nipple in a series of X nipples. It has retractable keys and an integrated packing mandrel that allow the tool to lock into a profile nipple and create a seal. This allows the lock to create or hold pressure from above or below based on the equalizing assembly being used.
The XN Lock is the non-selective version of the X lock. The keys have an angled shoulder, and the lock is designed to stop against the No-Go diameter at the bottom of an XN Nipple. The XN lock is used in single installations or installed in the bottom XN nipple in a series of X profile nipples. XN Locks have a higher pressure from above rating than X locks of the same size.
