Abstract: A fluid conduit assembly and associated methods for a fluid supply system for a hydraulic fracturing system includes a manifold assembly coupled to a series of pumping units by hoses along which a hydraulic fluid is conveyed from the pumps of the pumping units to the manifold assembly. The hoses are supported by a plurality of support assemblies. The support assemblies each include a body with a hose cradle pivotally coupled thereto and in which hose is received. The support assemblies are configured to facilitate movement of the hoses in multiple directions for positioning of the hoses.
Abstract: An embodiment of a manifold of a hydraulic fracturing system includes a flow cross junction including an inlet flow bore. In addition, the manifold includes a coupling adapter including an external shoulder and a connection device. The connection device is to connect to an output of a pump of the hydraulic fracturing system, and the coupling adapter is removably inserted within the inlet flow bore such that the connection device is positioned outside of the inlet flow bore. Further, the manifold includes a retainer ring connected to the flow cross junction and compressed against the external shoulder.

Abstract: Embodiments of a manifold of a hydraulic fracturing system include a junction having an inlet flow bore. The junction can include an integrated flow junction and valve check assembly having a body including a central portion and one or more side portions. The central portion can be positioned between a pair of manifold sections of the manifold and attached thereto. The one or more side portions extend radially from the central portion and include an inlet bore through which a pressurized fluid is received and supplied to the manifold. One or more check valves is positioned along the inlet bore so as to be integrated within the body of the junction.

Abstract: Embodiments of a method include connecting an inner end of a base of a fluid coupling assembly to an outer surface of a manifold of a hydraulic fracturing system. The base includes an outer end opposite the inner end and a through-passage extending from the outer end to the inner end. In addition, the method includes inserting a coupling adapter into the through-passage from the outer end to compress the coupling adapter into the through-passage and to position a connection device of the coupling adapter outside of the through-passage at the outer end.
