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.

A longitudinal expansion joint for piping systems, includes a first casing member and a second casing member telescopically engaged with a second end of the first casing member, the second casing member having a first end adapted to connect to a second pipe and having a second end with a flange portion having a threaded outer surface. A longitudinal adjustment mechanism for longitudinally adjusting a position of the second casing member relative to the first casing member. A locking sleeve for locking a longitudinal position of the second casing member relative to the first casing member. A sealing system including a seal unit disposed between the first casing member, and the second casing member and a push plate disposed against the seal unit. A seal energizing system pushes against the push plate to energize the seal unit to seal between the first casing member and the second casing member.

An adjustable length pipe connector having an axially extending and hollow pipe body with internal threads provided therein. The pipe body includes external threads provided on outer portion thereof for coupling the connector to a pipe connection. Further, the pipe body includes a washer provided within the pipe body. The washer is adapted to be moved axially within the interior portion. Also, a first and a second length adjustor peg is provided within the pipe body. The first and the second length adjustor pegs can be moved and positioned adjacent to the washer so as to achieve a desirable length of the adjustable length connector. Upon achieving the desirable length, the washer is juxtaposed relative to the first peg and an excess portion of the pipe body adjacent the second end is removed. The washer may be cylindrical. The washer may have a wire mesh to block impurities.

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.

The invention is a tapping assembly for use on a pipe or tank. It includes a hollow body that sits flush on the outer wall of the pipe or tank and includes a plurality of locking members that sit flush within the body and form a threaded portion into which a cap is insertable. Each locking member extends into the interior of the pipe or tank, and has an outwardly extending flanged portion that engages with the inner sidewall of the pipe or tank. When the cap is tightened against the body, it causes each of the locking member to retract, thereby causing the respective flange portions to lock the assembly against the pipe or tank wall. The assembly can be manufactured to provide either an orthogonal tap, or an angled tap, relative to the longitudinal axis of the pipe, or plane of the tank sidewall.
