    Key Features

    Why the BSSP

    Eliminates One Connection

    By combining the stuffing box and pumping tee in one body, the BSTB™ removes one threaded connection from your wellhead stack — reducing leak points, connection count, and installation time.

    11" Low Profile

    Compact 11" height with female bottom connection makes the BSTB™ one of the shortest tee-base options available — ideal for short-stroke pumping units with minimal clearance.

    No-Bolt Threaded Cap

    Bolt-free cap design ideal for high salt-water cut areas and steam environments where corrosion attacks bolted glands. Even packing adjustment on every service call.

    Steam & Salt-Water Ready

    Same no-bolt cap design as the BSSP — engineered specifically for environments where conventional bolt corrosion is the leading cause of stuffing box service failures.

    Brass Inverter Ring Standard

    A standard brass inverter ring protects the polished rod from scarring during the upstroke — extending rod life and reducing the frequency of expensive rod replacements.

    ECSS™ Compatible

    Works with BSE-LUG™ upper gland for secondary sealing and environmental compliance. Connects directly to WSI ECSS™ shutdown switch and anti-pollution tank system.

    Compatible Accessories

    WSI accessories that install directly on the BSTB™ to extend packing life, add leak detection, or enable environmental compliance.

    BS Environmental Lube Upper Gland

    BSE-LUG™
    Premier BS-specific upper gland. Modified flange design eliminates separation risk between gland and stuffing box body. Connects directly to ECSS™ Environmental Shutdown Switch. Required for environmental compliance on BSSP.

    Polished Rod Lubricator

    ROD LUBRICATOR
    1 quart reservoir reduces friction heat between polished rod and packing. Extends BSSP packing life significantly. Recommended for all wells on timer controls that may stop on the upstroke.
     

    Environmental Control Shut-Down Switch

    ECSS™
    NEC Class 1, Div. 1, UL listed environmental shutdown switch. Monitors fluid accumulation via BSE-LUG™ and automatically shuts down the pumping unit when fluid is detected. Standard and explosion-proof housings available.
