160 Wellhead for a Metal Swedish Coupling
The IBO 160 wellhead for a Swedish coupling is a metal cover that hermetically seals the casing pipe of a deep well. Its outlet is designed to connect the delivery pipe using a Swedish coupling. The power cable for the pump passes through a separate cable gland, while the seal on the casing pipe protects the well from surface water and contaminants.
Who is it for?
-
Well drillers and drilling companies – tight sealing of the borehole and secure suspension of the pump on a metal eyelet.
-
Deep-well pump installers – the Swedish coupling allows the delivery pipe to be connected quickly and securely.
-
Owners of domestic wells – protection of the water intake from surface contaminants.
-
Service teams – organized access to the pump and periodic inspection of the well installation.
Application
The wellhead for a Swedish coupling is used to close the casing pipes of deep wells in which a pump is suspended on a rope. The delivery pipe is connected to the wellhead using a Swedish coupling, while the power cable passes through a cable gland. The entire assembly remains tight thanks to the compressed seal. A well closed in this way is protected from surface water, groundwater, and foreign bodies.
This type of outlet is suitable for installations in which the delivery pipe is connected with a threaded Swedish coupling. The variant depends on the diameter of the well casing pipe. The IBO wellhead for a Swedish coupling is available in versions suitable for 110, 125, and 160 mm casing pipes.
Features of the wellhead for a Swedish coupling
The wellhead is made of metal – steel or galvanized cast iron – resistant to the conditions inside the well. The delivery outlet is designed for a threaded Swedish coupling used to connect the delivery pipe. The seal is compressed against the casing pipe, closing the well.
A special opening for routing the power cable ensures tightness at the cable entry point as well. A metal eyelet is provided for suspending the pump, with the suspension rope attached to it. The variant is selected according to the diameter of the well casing pipe.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – IBO Wellhead for a Swedish Coupling
What is a wellhead for a Swedish coupling used for?
A wellhead for a Swedish coupling hermetically seals the casing pipe of a deep well, while the delivery pipe is connected to it with a threaded Swedish coupling. It protects the well from surface water, groundwater, and contaminants. The metal eyelet allows the pump to be safely suspended on a rope.
How does a wellhead for a Swedish coupling differ from a pass-through wellhead and one with an external thread?
In this version, the delivery pipe is connected with a threaded Swedish coupling. In the pass-through version, the PE pipe passes through the body and is clamped with a seal, while in the version with an external thread, the pipe is screwed onto the thread on the wellhead. The choice depends on how the delivery pipe is connected in the given installation.
How do you select the size of a wellhead for a Swedish coupling?
The size is selected according to the diameter of the well casing pipe – versions of 110, 125, and 160 mm are available. Diameters of 110–125 mm correspond to 4" wells, while 160 mm corresponds to 6" wells. The Swedish coupling is then selected according to the diameter of the delivery pipe.
How do you install a wellhead for a Swedish coupling?
The pump’s delivery pipe is connected to the wellhead outlet through a Swedish coupling, and the cable is routed through the cable gland. The pump is suspended on a rope attached to the wellhead eyelet, after which the wellhead is seated in the casing pipe and the seal is compressed. Installation should be carried out by a qualified installer with the power disconnected.
Can a deep-well pump be suspended from the wellhead?
Yes. The wellhead has a metal eyelet to which the suspension rope holding the pump in the casing pipe is attached. The rope bears the weight of the pump, so the delivery pipe and cable are not loaded.
Where can I buy an IBO wellhead?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. IBO wellheads for Swedish couplings can be purchased from our trade partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors. The variant is selected according to the diameter of the casing pipe.
What is the warranty on an IBO wellhead?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat. For questions about selecting the appropriate variant, please contact an authorized distributor.
