An apparatus for use in manipulating an eccentrically located well bore device. One embodiment of the apparatus comprises: a main body attachable to a conveyance member; an arm hinged to the main body; a lock assembly for selectively retaining the arm in a locked position and releasing the arm from the locked position; a kick over assembly for moving the arm to kicked over position; and an adapter connected to the lift arm, the adapter connectable with a tool for latching onto the device. The kick over assembly comprises a kick member operatively connected to the arm and a biasing member having a first end connected to the arm and a second end connected to the kick member.

Kick over tool for side pocket mandrel

A water injection valve for use in a well bore having a cylindrical valve body with an axial water passage, a cylinder slidably mounted therein with an upstream control shoulder, lateral fluid ports in the cylinder upstream of the seal between the cylinder and the valve body and an open downstream end which restricts fluid flow when the cylinder impinges upon a conical valve seat. The cylinder is adjustably biased away from the valve seat by a spring and permits fluid flow no greater than a predetermined maximum rate despite increases in pressure differential across the valve.
