Large bore plug valve

An apparatus, comprising:

• a valve body defining an internal cavity, a first passage, and a second passage;
• a plug defining a third passage and being rotatable within the internal cavity to selectively permit communication of a fluid between the first and second passages via the third passage;
• an insert extending within the internal cavity between the valve body and the plug, the insert defining a first opening aligned with the first passage of the valve body, a first interior surface, and a first projection at least partially defining the first interior surface;
• and
• a boot connected to the valve body and including a first edge portion extending adjacent the first interior surface, the boot interlocked with the first projection of the insert to prevent, or at least reduce, rotation of the insert relative to the valve body when the plug rotates within the internal cavity.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a flow iron section adapted to be positioned between a hydraulic fracturing pump and a wellhead, the flow iron section comprising one or more of a pressurization manifold connected to the hydraulic fracturing pump, a hydraulic fracturing tree connected to the wellhead, and a distribution manifold connected between the pressurization manifold and the hydraulic fracturing tree;
• and
• a plug valve connected to the flow iron section, the plug valve comprising
• a valve body defining a first passage,
• a plug defining a second passage and being rotatable within the valve body to selectively permit communication of a hydraulic fracturing fluid from the hydraulic fracturing pump to the wellhead via at least the flow iron section and the second passage, the second passage having an inner diameter that is equal to, or greater than, about 5⅛ inches,
• an insert extending within the valve body between the valve body and the plug, the insert defining an opening aligned with the first passage of the valve body, an interior surface, and a projection at least partially defining the interior surface, and
• a boot connected to the valve body and including an edge portion extending adjacent the interior surface, the boot interlocked with the projection of the insert to prevent, or at least reduce, rotation of the insert relative to the valve body when the plug rotates within the valve body.
