This patent describes a well device for installation in a receptacle in a well flow conductor. The receptacle has a bore having a wall to be frictionally engaged by the well device. The well device consists of: a. a body having first means at its upper end to be engaged by a running tool and second means at its lower end for frictionally engaging the bore wall of the receptacle, the second means including: i. external annular recess means formed in the exterior of the well device, the walls of the recess means providing upper and lower lips, and ii. louvered friction means carried in the external recess and having its upper and lower edges extending beneath the upper and lower lips to be retained thereby, the friction means having a plurality of integral louver members extending between the upper and lower edges and being tilted such that the louver edges nearest the body will engage the body and the outer edges of the louver members will frictionally engage the inner wall of the receptacle to retain the well device therein.
