Abstract
A well configuration unit configured to connect to a zipper manifold, and comprising a bridge connector header comprising an axial throughbore and a horizontal throughbore. A frac manifold connector is connected to the axial throughbore of the bridge connector header and comprises a mandrel that is axially movable and a hydraulic setting tool configured to move the mandrel from an open position, in which fracturing fluid is allowed to flow from the zipper manifold to a connected frac tree, to a closed position, in which the mandrel and its associated cup tool prevent fracturing fluid from flowing to the connected frac tree. A bridge connector is connected to the horizontal throughbore of the bridge connector header and comprises two bridge spools configured to connect the zipper manifold to the same frac tree.
