Patent ID: 8235122

Claim:
A wellhead assembly comprising: an outer wellhead member having a bore, the bore having a first profile portion and an annular recess; a tubular inner wellhead member adapted to be lowered into the bore of the outer wellhead member; a radially expandable load ring carried on the inner wellhead member for engagement with the first profile portion of the outer wellhead member, the expandable load ring being able to support the inner wellhead member in the axial direction when landed on the outer wellhead member; and a radially expandable and contractible centralizer/overpull ring positioned on the inner wellhead member and spaced apart from the radially expandable load ring, the centralizer/overpull ring being biased to expand outward to engage the bore of the outer wellhead member to center the inner wellhead member within the bore as the inner wellhead member is lowered through the bore, wherein the recess of the outer wellhead member is adapted to receive the centralizer/overpull ring and oppose axial movement of the centralizer/overpull ring to enable an upward test pull of the inner wellhead member.
