BSTB™ Premier Tee Base Stuffing Box

Combines the stuffing box and pumping tee in a single no-bolt body — eliminating one threaded connection from your wellhead stack. Standard brass inverter ring protects the polished rod from scarring. Ideal for short-stroke units.

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.
