This new large OD (14"-18") connection answers the challenge's related to tight clearance big bore wellhead systems. In offshore operations, clearance issues, high performance requirements, or deep offshore wells can result in complex designs. The main features include superior sealing abilities resulting from two metal to metal seals, a robust design for mechanical integrity in extreme loads, and a double start thread for excellent jump out prevention and make-up in half the time.

DWC/C was the original connection solution for casing rotation applications that exceeded API Buttress torque capabilities.
However, recent well requirements in the shale plays have resulted in higher compression and bending loads.
In an effort to meet these new needs, VAM USA subjected DWC/C to physical testing validating the compression capacity as the same as the tension capacitty. This new validation allows operators to utilize DWC/C in deviated wells where excessive torque, tension, and compression are required.
