ABSTRACT:
A tubing hanger (2) is suspended in a spool (1) by a composite load support ring (7,8). Upon running-in, the hanger expands the ring into engagement with complementary grooves (34) in the spool wall. By making the load support ring from individual split rings (7,8), a radially large bearing area is provided for supporting the hanger and/or a seal, whilst enabling an appreciable expansion of the ring without it yielding beyond its elastic limit.
