a housing having a bore formed therein, the bore comprising a counterbore;
a fluid routing plug, at least partially disposed within the bore, the fluid end comprising
a body extending along a longitudinal axis having:
a first end surface;
a second end surface; and
a radially disposed outer surface, extending between the first end surface and the second end surface;
the outer surface including:
a first surface section positioned proximate the first end surface, the first surface section configured to receive a first annular seal;
a second surface section proximate the second end surface, the second surface section configured to receive a second annular seal; and
an intermediate surface section disposed between the first surface section and the second surface section;
wherein the body defines:
a first plurality of fluid passages, the first plurality of fluid passages extending from the intermediate surface section to the second end surface; and
a second plurality of fluid passages, the second plurality of fluid passages extending from the second end surface to the first end surface;
wherein each of the second plurality of fluid passages is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis; and
a hardened insert installed within the bore and surrounding at least a portion of the fluid routing plug, the hardened insert engaging a base of the counterbore and engaging the outer surface of the body;
in which the hardened insert engages one of the first annular seal and the second annular seal.
