ABSTRACT:
For combination with a tubular casing, the casing having a bore and a side wall through port, the improvement comprises, in combination, an assembly to be lowered in the casing to establish water flow upwardly in the casing, and then out the side port, the assembly comprises a hollow body sized to travel in the casing, the body having a side nipple, to be received in the port, the body having a lower connection to which a well pipe is connectible to deliver water upwardly to the nipple; a dog pivotally connected to the body and having first and second legs alternately engageable with the casing bore; and elongated support structure extending within and upwardly from the body and movable longitudinally in the casing and rotatable relative to the body, the structure having operative connection to the dog to pivot the dog between a first position, in which the dog first leg engages the casing bore to thereby retain the nipple within the casing bore spaced from the side port, and a second position in which the dog first leg is retracted away from the casing bore and the dog second leg is engageable with the casing bore to urge the nipple sidewardly toward the port.
