A method for establishing a remote connection between a hydraulic fracturing head and hydraulic fracturing tubing line that is not reliant on personnel to manually establish a connection between the hydraulic fracturing tubing line and hydraulic fracturing head. The hydraulic fracturing tubing head is elevated above and connected to a wellbore. Next, a hydraulic fracturing tubing line is elevated to the hydraulic fracturing tubing head by connecting lines which are guided by a set of dual roller assemblies. The hydraulic fracturing tubing line is equipped with a male connector, configured to fit within a latching receptacle, which is installed on the hydraulic fracturing head. Once the male connector is seated in the latching receptacle, hydraulic pressure release closes latches on the latching receptacle, establishing a fluid connection. Once connected, hydraulic fracturing can begin.
