The intermediate section is a one-piece body having a first bore formed therein which is substantially axially aligned with the lower and upper ends of the upper and lower sections, respectively, and a second bore formed therein which is parallel to the first bore and open on at least one end to provide a pocket into which a flow-controlling tool may be inserted or from which a flow-controlling tool may be removed.
