Abstract: A non-metallic clip connection system includes a non-metallic clip having a substantially rectangular base portion, a first longitudinal flared wing portion, and a second longitudinal flared wing portion, wherein a plurality of edges of the clip along a path of insertion are beveled or radiused. The non-metallic clip connection system also includes a first non-metallic member having a first portion of a non-metallic clip receiver and a second non-metallic member having a second portion of the non-metallic clip receiver. The first non-metallic member is secured to the second non-metallic member by inserting the non-metallic clip in the non-metallic clip receiver. A non-metallic vertebrae bend restrictor and a non-metallic vertebrae end piece may use a non-metallic clip connection system.

Abstract: A piston assembly of a reciprocating pump includes a core having a throughbore, a first annular shoulder, a first radial surface that extends from an upper end of the core to a first annular shoulder, and an elastomeric element disposed about the core, where the elastomeric element has a body including a semi-supported section having a first outer radial surface.

Abstract: A bend restrictor for a flexible conduit includes at least two adjacent vertebrae. Each vertebra includes a central passage for the flexible conduit, a ball portion, and a receiver portion configured to receive the ball portion. The ball portion of one adjacent vertebra is disposed within the receiver portion of the other adjacent vertebra. The bend restrictor further includes a vertebra insert disposed between the at least two adjacent vertebrae. The vertebra insert prevents a lock out position between the ball portion and the receiver portion.
