Hercules® SP: T&C | LIQUID TIGHT 

Overview

Hercules® SP is our next-generation semi-premium connection engineered for applications where conventional API Buttress performance can fall short—makeup variability, spinning couplings, scalability limits, and elevated connection stress.

 

Built around the patented PrecisionFit® hooked thread form, Hercules® SP delivers a tight-fitting, high-integrity thread seal with significantly lower hoop stress of a typical API BTC-compatible connection. It’s a strong fit for corrosive service, and the negative load flank helps reduce jump-out potential and limits localized movement under bending and tension.

 

Key features include:

  • Tight-fitting hooked thread for improved thread seal and reliability
  • Lower hoop stress vs. API BTC-compatible designs
  • Negative load flank to reduce jump-out potential and micro-movement
  • Stepped crests + low pitch for faster makeup (~7 turns vs. ~12 turns for API BTC-compatible)
  • Coupling anti-rotation feature to prevent spinning couplings
  • Customization available to meet application requirements
