Flexible pipe connection systems and methods

A system to deliver pressurized fluid to one or more frac trees, the system comprising:

• a first pump truck having a first pump disposed thereon, wherein the first pump comprises
• a first fluid outlet;
• a manifold having a second fluid outlet and a plurality of fluid inlets, wherein the first fluid outlet of the first pump is fluidly connected to a first inlet of the plurality of fluid inlets;
• and
• a first flexible pipe, wherein the first flexible pipe comprises:
• a first end of the first flexible pipe coupled to the second fluid outlet of the manifold;
• a second end of the first flexible pipe is coupled to a fluid inlet of a first frac tree;
• and
• a first outer shell mounted on the manifold, the first outer shell extends from the manifold a length between the first end and the second end,
• wherein the first outer shell is curved to have a radius to arch the first flexible pipe from the manifold to the first frac tree.

A method for fluidly connecting a manifold to at least two frac trees, the method comprising:

• rotationally mounting an outer shell of a flexible pipe to a structure attached to the manifold;
• fluidly connecting a first end of the flexible pipe to a fluid outlet of the manifold;
• hanging a second end of the flexible pipe a distance from the structure thereby forming the flexible pipe in a self-supporting arch;
• fluidly connecting the second end of the flexible pipe to a first fluid inlet of a first frac tree of the at least two frac trees;
• and
• switching the second end of the flexible pipe from the first fluid inlet of the first frac tree to fluidly connect to a second fluid inlet of a second frac tree of the at least two frac trees.
