A system and apparatus that includes and/or consists of a dart and/or a clutch for a dart plunger. In an exemplary embodiment, the clutch consists of a one-piece unit having a length, an outside diameter, and an inside diameter where at least a portion of the inside diameter is sized to create a frictional interface with a dart. The clutch may also include a gap, a slot, and/or a spiral cut. The dart may include a shaft having opposite ends and a shaft diameter that varies between the opposite ends.

A fluid end made of a housing and a plunger reciprocating therein. The plunger has a hollow bore formed therein, and a valve assembly situated on one end of the plunger. The plunger may have a sleeve situated within the bore that aids in the installation of the valve assembly. The plunger may have a second bore extending perpendicularly from the hollow bore. The first bore may be connected to an attachment piece which connects to a conduit. The conduit may then be connected to a manifold which is configured to provide a fluid to the plunger's bore. The housing may be made of a static section and a plurality of dynamic sections. The dynamic sections may thread into the housing. The static section may be made of two pieces to aid with installation of a dynamic seal.
