Single Point Packer: Installation & Inflation
Model 800M Mini Pneumatic Packers are inflated with air via
1/8" (3.2 mm) OD tubing extending from the packer to the
surface. A manual hand pump with a gauge may be used to
inflate the packer. Please read through these instructions fully
before proceeding.
1. Cut an appropriate length of 1/8" (3.2 mm) O.D. inflation
tubing to extend from the packer to the surface. This tubing
must extend to the surface with enough slack to allow ease
of inflation.
Note: 800M Packers are designed for short term applications inside
nominal 2" OD wells. However, if longer continuous usage
is necessary, daily monitoring of target inflation pressure and
packer seal will likely be required.

Borehole Size and Ination Pressures
Borehole Size 1.9 - 2.1" (48 - 53 mm)
Ination Pressure 20 - 30 psi, 140 - 205 kPa
Notes: 1. Inflation pressures must be added to hydrostatic pressure at the
packer location.
2. Maximum depth from surface = 275 ft (84 m)
3. Maximum submergence = 150 ft (46 m)
4. Maximum pressure = 30 psi or 205 kPa over hydrostatic pressure.
(1 ft water = 0.43 psi, 1 m water = 9.8 kPa)
eg: Required pressure for: Packer placed 100 ft (30 m) below water
• Packer in 2" well: 20 psi minimum + (100 ft x 0.43 psi/ft)
= 20 + 43 = 63 psi. (46 mm packer: 140 kPa minimum +
(30 x 9.8 kPa/m) = 140 + 294 = 434 kPa)

2. Push the top end of the inflation tubing into the push fitting
on the inflation valve (to release tubing push down on both
sides of the fitting and pull tubing out).
3. Push the other end of the inflation tubing into the push
fitting on the top of the packer (to release tubing push down
on both sides of the fitting and pull tubing out).
4. The system is now complete and can lowered into position
using a support cable attached to the eyebolt. The Solinst
Model 103 Tag Line can be used, providing an exact
measured depth of deployment.
