Abstract: A method for interconnecting components of a hydraulic fracturing system using flexible hose or pipe. The flexible hose or pipe can form a singular flow line which interconnects, for example, a pump and a manifold of the hydraulic fracturing system. Each end of the flexible hose or pipe can be tethered (using a safety restraint) to another component of the hydraulic fracturing system. In the event of a rupture or other failure, the safety restraint retains the tethered flexible pipes or hoses in a fixed position to prevent injury to personnel or damage to surrounding equipment.
