General Description
Bowen Sucker Rod Overshots are stur-
dy, compact units designed to engage
sucker rods or other items used inside
of tubing. Designed and developed upon
the same principle as other Bowen Over-
shots, they are the most effective means
for the recovery of sucker rods.

Use
Bowen Series 10 Overshots are de-
signed to recover non-hardened Sucker
Rod Boxes up to 2" O.D. inside of 27/8" Top Sub Top Sub
tubing and up to 15/8" O.D. inside of 23/8"
tubing. Basket Grapples are recom-
mended for fishing for hardened and
ground boxes.

Bowen Series 20 Overshots are short

catch sucker rod overshots, which pro-
vide a means for engaging the exposed
portion of a fish too short to be engaged
with conventional catch overshot.

Bowen Sucker Rod Overshots fitted with

tubing thread Top Subs and Oversize Bowl Bowl
Guides are ideally suited for engaging
the fishing neck of wire line rope sockets
and retrieving wire line tools such as gun Grapple Grapple
perforators lost inside of casing.

Bowen Series 10 and 20 Overshots will

effectively catch fish as much as 1/64" Control
maximum undersize and 1/64" maximum
oversize.

A Bowen Series 20 Sucker Rod Overshot

consists of a Top Sub, a Bowl, a Grapple

from a Series 10 in that the Grapple Con-
trol is at the top of the Bowl above the

the lowermost position in the Bowl.

Special Notes:
(1) Grapples availabe in 1/16* intervals F.S. (Full Strength) Engineered to wthstand all pulling and jarring strain.
* Left-hand threads S.H. (Slim Hole) Engineered to withstand heavy pulling strain only.
** This is a left-hand tool
Overshot OD’s are nominal OD’s. If the tool is to be run through a tight clearance, the actual tool OD should be checked.
† Assembly requires Guide Ring 61739
†† Assembly requires Guide Ring 38511

How to Order RECOMMENDED SPARES:

Specify: (1) 2 Grapples for Each Size
(2) 1 Control
(1) Name and number of assembly or part
(2) Size and type of fish to be caught

NOTE: All strengths listed are calculated theoretical yield points and are accurate within 20%. It should be noted however,
that all strengths assume a straight, steady pull and full grapple engagement of a round fish. Anything less than full
engagement or straight pulling will reduce the listed strength. This includes tong marks or other damage to the bowl
surface.
Overshot OD’s are nominal OD’s. If the tool is to be run through a tight clearance, the actual tool OD should be checked.
