Abstract: A lift-ready flowhead assembly which is generally formed of a flowhead assembly, a lifting yoke, and a lift sub. The flowhead assembly includes (i) a flowhead body having body threads and a side entry port, (ii) a swivel housing, (iii) a load collar tube rotatively supported in the swivel housing by a bearing assembly, and (iv) a ball valve positioned in said flowhead body and configured to block and unblock a central passage running through the load collar tube and the flowhead body. The lifting yoke includes (i) a yoke body having a center aperture, and (ii) opposing pad-eyes extending from the yoke body. The lift sub includes (i) a head section, (ii) a neck section having external neck threads, and (iii) a sub passage extending through the head and neck sections. The neck section of the lift sub extends through the center aperture of the yoke body and the neck threads engage the body threads of the flowhead body, thereby securing the lifting yoke to the flowhead assembly.

Abstract: An adapted die carrier assembly for a gripping device includes a conventional die carrier, a die adapter, and an alternate die that is not configured to directly engage die receptacles of the conventional die carrier. The die adapter is secured to the conventional die carrier, and the alternate die is secured to the die adapter. The die adapter includes a receiving slot and one or more lobes. Each lobe is slidingly secured within one of the die receptacles of the conventional die carrier. Each lobe has an outer surface that is reciprocal to the die receptacles. The alternate die is slidingly secured within the receiving slot of the die adapter. The alternate die includes a gripping surface.
