Fracturing manifold systems and methods
A fracturing system is provided. In one embodiment, the fracturing system includes a fracturing manifold for routing fracturing fluid to multiple wells. The fracturing manifold can be coupled via fluid conduits to fracturing trees installed at the wells. In some cases, each fracturing tree that is coupled to the fracturing manifold is coupled by at least one rigid fluid conduit. The fracturing manifold can include a trunk line that provides fracturing fluid to multiple outlet branches, which can include valves for controlling flow of fracturing fluid to wells downstream of the valves. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Backflow prevention assembly having a variable lay-length and orientation
A backflow prevention assembly is configurable with varying lay-lengths and orientations. The assembly includes coupling assemblies and valve bodies that adjust in length and/or rotation to allow for the varying lay-lengths and orientations of the backflow prevention valves and assemblies with and without certification. A coupling assembly is connected to a backflow prevention valve and includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve that is slidingly received within the outer sleeve. The lay-length is adjusted by slidably moving the inner and outer sleeves with respect to one another.

Fire sprinkler assembly
A fire sprinkler assembly includes a flexible conduit; and an integral hub and bracket assembly comprising: a bracket hub coupled to a bracket bar; and an adjustable drop integrally formed with the bracket hub, the adjustable drop defining a lengthwise axis oriented transverse to the bracket bar, the flexible conduit coupled to the adjustable drop; and a sprinkler head extending from the adjustable drop.

Adjustable-length water supply adapter
An adapter includes a plurality of individually separable collars that allow for easy, on-site adjustment of the length of the adapter based on a measured offset of an outlet of a water supply assembly to which the adapter is attached. An exterior of each collar is configured to sealingly engage the outlet of the water supply assembly, such that the adjustment to the length of the adapter does not compromise the ability of the adapter to be sealingly coupled to the water supply assembly. A slip fitting provided along a downstream end of the adapter allows the plumbing fixture to be installed flush against a wall in a desired orientation, without compromising the sealing engagement between the adapter and either of the plumbing fixture or outlet opening.

Adjustable Pipe Spool and Connection Methods
An adjustable pipe spool includes an outer body, an inner body at least partially disposed within the outer body, an adjustment ring rotationally coupled to the inner body, a lock ring rotationally coupled to the outer body and engaging the adjustment ring, a rotation key maintained within the outer body by the lock ring, the rotation key extending into a slot in the inner body. The inner body is axially translatable with respect to the outer body between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration, and the inner body is rotationally adjustable with respect to the outer body in the extended configuration.
