1. A hydraulic fracturing missile comprising:
a low pressure side having a first suction conduit, at least one suction inlet and at least one suction outlet, the at least one suction inlet being configured to fluidly couple the first suction conduit to at least one frac blender and the at least one suction outlet being configured to fluidly couple the first suction conduit to at least one frac pump, whereby fluid can pass from the at least one frac blender, through at least one suction inlet into the first suction conduit and thereafter through at least one suction outlet to at least one frac pump, wherein the first suction conduit includes multiple suction conduit spools releasably, longitudinally, mechanically and fluidly interconnectable and separable without welding, further wherein the at least one suction inlet and the at least one suction outlet are releasably mechanically and fluidly connectable to and separable from the first suction conduit without welding.
