Frac Manifold
Frac Manifold
A frac manifold is an arrangement of flow fittings and valves installed downstream of the fracturing pump output header and upstream of each frac tree being served. Modular and flexible frac manifolds can be assembled in many possible configurations. Each leg of the manifold can be aligned vertically, horizontally, or at any angle and will typically have one or two gate valves.
The system has many advantages compared with conventional frac iron, including up to 75% fewer connectors, simplified hookup, and a smaller footprint. It uses industry-standard flanges with conventional tools and known recommended torque values—no sledgehammers are involved, minimizing the potential for impact damage. The larger diameter enables increased flow rate while mitigating erosive fluid velocities. The system arrives preassembled at the wellsite, reducing rig-up and rig-down times.
