APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR INTERLOCKING HYDRAULIC FRACTURING EQUIPMENT

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. the method can include positioning a pump adjacent to a manifold, the pump and the manifold being configured to operate within the hydraulic fracturing system, the pump having a pump connection, the pump connection comprising a quick disconnect. the method can further include coupling a first end of a first flexible hose to a first pump connection, coupling a second end of the first flexible hose to a first manifold connection, coupling a first end of a second flexible hose to a second pump connection, and coupling a second end of the second flexible hose to a second manifold connection.
