1. A fluid coupling assembly for a manifold of a hydraulic fracturing system, the fluid coupling assembly comprising:
a base to connect to an outer surface of the manifold, the base including a through-passage to fluidly connect to a flow path of the manifold,
a coupling adapter to insert within the through-passage, the coupling adapter including a connection device and an external shoulder, the connection device to connect with an output of a pump of the hydraulic fracturing system; and
a retainer ring connected to the base and compressed against the external shoulder to restrict a rotation of the coupling adapter within the through-passage.
