ABSTRACT:
A lock pin for locking a pipe hanger assembly in a wellhead is hydraulically actuated. The lock pin extends through a radial passage provided in the wellhead. The lock pin moves linearly to an inner position to engage the hanger assembly. A hydraulic piston is coupled to the exterior of the wellhead for providing an inward force to the lock pin. A retainer is mounted to the wellhead by threads. While the lock pin is held in the inner position under hydraulic pressure, the retainer is rotated inward against a shoulder provided on the lock pin to hold the lock pin in the inner engaged position. The hydraulic pressure can then be removed.
