# §250.818. Additional safety equipment—dry trees.

- (a) You must equip all tubing installations that have a wireline- or pumpdown-retrievable subsurface safety device with a landing nipple, with flow couplings or other protective equipment above and below it to provide for the setting of the device.
- (b) The control system for all surface-controlled SSSVs must be an integral part of the platform emergency shutdown system (ESD).
- (c) In addition to the activation of the ESD by manual action on the platform, the system may be activated by a signal from a remote location. Surface-controlled SSSVs must close in response to shut-in signals from the ESD and in response to the fire loop or other fire detection devices.
