Straddle 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 hand pump with a gauge may be used to inflate
the packer. Please read through these instructions fully before
proceeding.
Straddle Packer: Assembly & Tubing Connection
1. To assemble the Straddle Packer system, connect the lower
and upper packers with a suitable length of 1/2" NPT
perforated (straddle) pipe.
2. Attach a length of 1/8" (3.2 mm) inflation line between
the top of the lower packer and the bottom of the upper
packer. Simply push the tubing into the push fittings (to
release tubing push down on both sides of the fitting and
pull tubing out).

Bladder Pump or Model 408 Double Valve Pump to the top
of the Packer setup, you will not require a riser pipe, but a
safety cable or Solinst Tag Line can be attached to the Pump or
Packer eyebolt.

3. Cut an appropriate length of 1/8" (3.2 mm) O.D. tubing to
extend from the top packer to the surface with enough slack
to allow ease of inflation.
4. 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).
5. 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).
6. The system is now complete and should be installed by
connecting the appropriate length riser pipe and lowering
the system into the well.
