The -HL designation stands for high line pressure. The Model 9EE-HL SoapStick Launcher is used on those locations where the line pressure exceeds 350 psi.

Under certain conditions, high pressure can damage soap sticks before the stick is dropped into the wellbore. The lower chamber of the M9EE-HL prevents excessive pressure from reaching the soap stick storage canister. When the location line pressure is <300 psi, the HL Launcher is not required. When soap sticks are stored at pressures above 350 psi, they will subsequently disintegrate if they undergo depressurization. The M9EE-HL SoapStick Launcher can successfully isolate soap sticks from high pressure.
The 900 psi upper limit is a function of the inability of the ball valve actuator to open at high differential and is not related to safety pressure ratings.
