TEC Cable Clamps
Clamps that fasten the TEC line to the outside of the tubing along the whole string.
What it does
Hold the line tight to the tubing so it does not sag, rub or get crushed against the casing while running, producing and pulling.
Basics
| Spacing | One clamp every 20 to 30 ft |
| Deviated wells | Closer spacing |
| Fit | Match clamp to tubing OD and line size |
Common failures
- Too few clamps, so the line moves and wears
- Clamp that does not fit the line, pinching the tube
Troubleshooting
- Symptom
- Line found worn or flattened when the string is pulled
- Likely cause
- Missing or wrong size clamps, high deviation
- What to check
- Review clamp count and spacing for the next run
