Abstract: A valve assembly includes an upper portion to be coupled to guide legs, a cavity being formed within one of the upper portion or the guide legs and a coupling member being associated with the other of the upper portion or the guide legs, wherein the upper portion is coupled to the guide legs via a single force application process.

Abstract: A fluid end includes a housing having a bore extending toward a cavity and a wear sleeve positioned within the bore. The fluid end also includes a plunger positioned within a plunger bore extending through the wear sleeve, the plunger reciprocating within the plunger bore. The fluid end further includes a wear sleeve retainer coupled to the housing and positioned to block axial movement of the wear sleeve, the wear sleeve retainer having external threads along a body that engage internal threads formed in the housing. The fluid end also includes an anti-rotation system, coupled to the housing, the anti-rotation system engaging the wear sleeve retainer to block rotation of the wear sleeve retainer in at least one direction. The fluid end further includes a packing nut coupled to the wear sleeve retainer.

Abstract: A system includes a fluid end having a fluid end face and a recess extending toward a base. The system also includes a pressure ring extending from the fluid end face, the pressure ring having a pressure ring bore diameter larger than a fluid end bore diameter. The system further includes an adjacent ring coupled to the fluid end, the pressure ring positioned between the adjacent ring and the base, wherein at least one fastener extends through an aperture of the adjacent ring to couple the adjacent ring to the fluid end. The system includes packing material positioned within at least a portion of the pressure ring bore, the packing material positioned such that axial movement toward the fluid end is blocked by the base.
