Plug & Cage Chokes
Controlled Pressure Drop With CLPB And CLPBB
Plug-and-cage chokes use a moving plug and ported cage to open more flow area as conditions demand, giving crews a smoother way to manage higher-capacity pressure service.
Model Overview
CLPB / CLPBB
Plug & Cage.
Inside CLPB and CLPBB, a stem-mounted plug travels through the cage to uncover its ports. Flow streams meet toward the center of the trim, helping reduce turbulence and wear while balancing stem load.
CLPB
High-capacity coverage where rangeability, lower torque, and erosive service matter.

Best Fit Summary
Use plug-and-cage chokes when a simple fixed or adjustable trim is not enough for the required capacity, turndown, or actuation load. Start with CLPB or CLPBB, then confirm API pressure rating, size range, end connection, trim, service class, automation needs, and fit-up details.
- Best When The job needs capacity, smooth adjustment, and trim support for sand or other erosive conditions.
- Narrow By API pressure rating, size range, end connection, trim, service environment, and automation needs.
- Support With Pressure class, size, connection details, trim requirement, photos, dimensions, and service notes before quote.

Use these answers to narrow the right product model, document, or support request before you contact the Cactus Flow team.
What plug and cage choke model is available?
The listed Plug & Cage models are CLPB and CLPBB. Common API pressure ratings range from 2,000 to 15,000 PSI, with ASME/ANSI equivalents up to 1500# available and typical sizes from 1 13/16 inch to 4 1/16 inch.
When should Plug & Cage chokes be used?
Plug & Cage chokes should be considered when larger flow capacity, smooth rangeability, and lower actuation effort are priorities, especially with erosive flow. Final selection depends on pressure class, size, trim, service class, connection layout, and replacement fit details.
What information helps quote a plug-and-cage choke?
Helpful quote details include requested pressure rating, size, end connection, trim requirement, service environment, automation needs, photos, dimensions, and any replacement or fit-up constraints.
