Abstract: In the context of downhole tools, bulkhead igniter assemblies having snap-on insulators are disclosed. In some embodiments the bulkhead igniter assemblies have a bulkhead with a first end formed with at least one ridge or groove, a pressure block, a setting tool, and a snap-on insulator. The snap-on insulator has an annular body having a tubular channel through a center portion. Ridges or groves on the snap-on insulator mate with ridges or grooves on the bulkhead igniter to hold the snap-on insulator in place on the bulkhead igniter by interaction of the ridge or groove of the snap-on insulator with the ridge or groove on the first end of the bulkhead igniter. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A static arm platform for mounting onto a static arm includes a rigid saddle adapted for releasable mounting down onto the static arm, at a desired location along the static arm dictated by a pre-chosen static arm cross section profile formed as lower cut-outs in a pair of gusset plates mounted at each end of the saddle between a pair of rigid flanks extending down the sides of the saddle. The lower cut-outs snuggly fit onto and over the static arm at the desired locations on the static arm to resist a rotation of the saddle relative to the static arm when a lineman is standing on one of a pair of foot decks mounted at the lower ends of the rigid flanks, wherein the rigid flanks define a static arm receiving cavity to envelope the static arm when the static arm platform is mounted on the static arm.
