Bracetool explains Otis Lock Mandrels
These mandrel locks are of three main types:
- The slip lock
- The collar lock and
- The nipple lock
All these types have different means of locating and securing. So when the slip lock is run down the borehole on slickline, wherever it finds a suitable diameter size of tubing, it automatically anchors itself. The function of the collar lock is to locate itself between the space within tubing collars and the nipple lock locates within completion nipple profiles.
