| Major Benefit | Best for tubing and production casing, new generation replacing VAM ACE and NEW VAM | Designed for the various high-compression applications (Elevated temperature, compaction) | Designed for the various high-torque applications (Rotating liner and casing while running or cementing ) High / Depends on size | Near Flush OD. Best compromise between clearance and strength. | Flush connection for max clearance. | Specially designed for heavy wall pipes (0.600 to 1.400 wall). | Cost effective connection, faster, easier to run and higher performance than Buttress | Large OD connection for quick running | VAM TOP connection with special fatigue enhancement options | Extremely high torque for a flush connection with maximum clearance | Production casing for Shale plays. Single semi-flush solution for full string length. |

Notes: Connection ratings are based on actual test data.
*Compression and bending ratings are conservative and are calculated to retain gas sealability in all domains of the performance envelope. Structural compression and bending ratings are higher.
