215 for pressure equalization during run in disposed in the bore 215 of the tool 200 is a flow actuated sleeve 210 shown in a first position the sleeve 210 is held in the first position by a shearable connection 220 which axially fixes the sleeve 210 in the bore 215 the flow actuated sleeve 210 is constructed and arranged to permit the flow of fluid through its central bore while in the first position but to divert the flow of fluid after shifting to a second position as illustrated in fig6 a port 231 formed in a wall of the running tool 200 is initially blocked to the flow of fluid by the sleeve 210 which is equipped with seals 211 212 additionally apertures 225 formed in a well of the sleeve are initially misaligned with mating ports 227 formed in the well of the running tool 200 the flow actuated sleeve 210 remains in the first position until fluid flow across a piston surface 224 formed at the upper end of the sleeve is adequate to overcome the shearable connection 220 retaining the sleeve in the first position the design of the bridge plug 300 prevents an adequate amount of fluid flow prior to the inflation of the inflatable member 305 0028 fig7 is a section view of the running tool 200.
