fluid from the individual discharge valves and
directs it to the discharge valve assemblies.

Manifold, Suction:

A manifold which accepts

fluid from the suction ports and distributes it to
the suction valve assemblies.

Mud:

See Fluid, Drilling.

Mud Pit:

A tank near the rig into which mud is

circulated.

Nose plate:

The vertical steel plate on the power

end onto which the fluid ends are connected.

Packing:
