Why use MPI Sucker Rod Guides?
Our elastomer engineers have created a special formula for our rubber rod guides that insures optimum performance. They hold tight and stay in place even in temperatures of 300° F and above. Rigid quality control throughout our production guarantees that our products are the very best money can buy.
Installing Rod Guides
We recommend installation immediately above the pump. Run two rod guides for the first 200 feet. The first rod guide should be placed about 18" above the coupling. Place the second in the center of the rod. Then divide the remaining length of rod string into three equal parts. On the bottom third, place one guide per rod at 18" above the coupling. On the middle third, place one guide on every other rod. On the top third, a rod guide is not necessary unless the hole is crooked.
