In various implementations, a hydraulic fracturing piping system may include one or more rotatable elbows to connect other components of the hydraulic fracturing piping system. Using rotatable elbows may facilitate connections in the hydraulic fracturing piping system. For example, when using a rotatable elbow, in the assembly of the system, the rotatable elbow may be capable of rotating to different positions to facilitate alignment of the hydraulic fracturing manifold and hydraulic fracturing stack (e.g., christmas tree), when the hydraulic fracturing manifold and the hydraulic fracturing stack are not in alignment. In some implementations, the elbow may include an internal radial transition (e.g., of approximately 90 degrees) to control the media being injected into the wellbore. The internal radial transition of the elbow may create a more uniform media flow and/or less turbulence, which may significantly reduce erosion of the inner surfaces the bore of the elbow.

A water-powered sump pump including a chamber with a water supply inlet, wastewater inlet and a discharge outlet, wherein a venturi is secured within the chamber, and an elbow joint, including a wastewater exit portion and a wastewater entrance portions. This elbow joint is rotationally securable to the wastewater inlet of the chamber to permit securing of the water-powered sump pump in any desired orientation in relation to the sump. In one embodiment the wastewater inlet includes a cylindrical ingress portion with an upwardly facing ridge around a circumference thereof. The securing system of the elbow joint includes tabs on an inner surface of the exit portion of the elbow, each tab containing an inwardly extending rib which rib extends beyond the upwardly facing ridge on the ingress portion of the wastewater inlet when the elbow joint is secured onto the wastewater inlet.

An elbow-equipped expansion joint, even when there is an axial and lateral displacement between a first pipe and a second pipe, can absorb the displacement and connect the first pipe and the second pipe. The elbow-equipped expansion joint includes: an expandable joint including a first sleeve and a second sleeve; and a pair of rotatable elbows joined to both ends of the expandable joint. The elbows each include one elbow pipe, and the other elbow pipe rotatably joined to the one elbow pipe. The bend angle of each elbow can be changed by rotating the other elbow pipe.

A pipe fitting for conveying a medium, including an inlet at which the medium enters in a first direction perpendicular to an inlet cross section, and an outlet at which the medium leaves in a second direction perpendicular to an outlet cross section, wherein the two directions enclose an angle. The pipe fitting has three parts, wherein in each case two parts bearing against one another at a contact point, wherein in each case two parts at their contact point being rotatable relative to one another about the axis of the flow direction at the contact point in order to change the angle, and wherein the two contact points being spaced apart from one another in the flow direction.

A swivel knuckle assembly for interconnecting a motor and a supply line. The knuckle assembly may include a bearing member to reduce a coefficient of friction. A locking mechanism is disclosed to connect members of the knuckle assembly.

Disclosed is a fitting structure of a water outlet device. The fitting structure comprises a fixed block, hoses, and joints. A peripheral of the fixed block comprises first position holes configured to be fixedly disposed with the hoses. The joints are fixedly connected to first ends of the hoses disposed above an upper surface of the fixed block, and each of the joints comprises a first water outlet passage and a second water outlet passage in communication with the first water outlet passage. An axis of each of the first water outlet passages and an axis of a corresponding one of the hoses is coaxial. The second water outlet passage is parallel to and is staggered with the first water outlet passage by a preset distance. The joints are staggered with the hoses by the preset distance in a radial direction and an outward direction of the fixed block.

A sewer extender useful with recreational vehicles to connect vehicle sewer discharge connectors to ground connectors comprises, in one embodiment, a tubular main body having a proximal end and a distal end; the distal end having a plurality of external threads comprising a plurality of thread segments that are defined by a plurality of spaced-apart relief cuts; a tubular telescoping body adapted to slide into the tubular main body via the distal end; a compression nut having tapered internal threads that are configured to threadedly attach to the plurality of thread segments, and when tightened, to compress the thread segments against the telescoping body to fix the telescoping body in a fixed position with respect to the main body accommodating multiple heights of recreational vehicles. The main body can be configured to articulate at different degrees to allow for multiple connections at different ground level sewer connections.

A multi-fitting rotatable fluid connection apparatus comprising a fluid entry fitting and first and second fluid discharge fittings. The fluid entry fitting comprises a first end connector threaded for attachment to a fluid source, and first and second distribution connectors. The first fluid discharge fitting has a first intake connector which receives fluid from the first distribution connector. A first rotation member is coupled between the first intake connector and the first distribution connector such that the first fluid discharge fitting is rotatable about a first axis of rotation. The second fluid discharge fitting has a second intake connector which receives fluid from the second distribution connector. A second rotation member is coupled between the second intake connector and the second distribution connector such that the second fluid discharge fitting is rotatable about a second axis of rotation.

A ball and socket coupling that avoids threaded tightening-components instead has telescoped components that are bonded together. Such a coupling has a hollow seat-formed link, a counterpart hollow ball-formed link, and a socket-forming collar. Both the links have fitting extensions. The ball-formed link has a spherical bulb at one end as the seat-formed link has a conforming, spherically-widening seat surface at one end. The socket-forming collar has a centrally apertured web with a conforming spherically-narrowing socket surface at one end of an axially elongated sleeve. The coupling is adapted to be assembled and bonded into solid rigidity by workers in the field with the spherical bulb bonded to and clamped between the seat-formed link's spherically-widening seat surface and the collar's spherically-narrowing socket surface. In addition, the collar's elongated sleeve is bonded internally to the seat-an outer sidewall of the seat-formed link's seat-formed end.
