3" x 3" 9-Valve Trash Catcher Manifold (FIG 1502) | Full-Bore, Double Block & Bleed Debris Filtration

The 3" x 3" 9-Valve Trash Catcher Manifold represents the pinnacle of high-volume flowline filtration and operational safety. Engineered for the most aggressive oilfield flowback, extreme well clean-ups, and coiled tubing drill-outs, this dual-barrel debris catcher combines full-bore 3-inch screening with a highly advanced 9-valve double block and bleed (DBB) configuration.

While standard 5-valve manifolds allow for simple bypass operations, the 9-valve design provides redundant isolation on both the inlet and outlet of each catcher barrel. In ultra-high-pressure environments or sour gas (H2S) applications, this double isolation is critical. It guarantees that field technicians can safely bleed off pressure, open the isolated barrel, and clean out captured frac plugs and formation rock with absolute certainty that wellbore pressure will not leak past a single closed valve.

Coupled with a full-bore 3" x 3" design, this manifold maximizes fluid throughput and drastically minimizes pressure drops across the flowline. Built from premium forged alloy steel and fully rated for 15,000 PSI maximum working pressure (FIG 1502), the 9-valve trash catcher ensures uninterrupted, high-rate production while delivering uncompromising safety and equipment preservation.

Features & Benefits

• Double Block & Bleed (DBB) Safety: The 9-valve arrangement provides redundant valve isolation for each barrel, maximizing operator safety during screen clean-outs in high-pressure or lethal H2S environments.

• Full-Bore 3" Flow Capacity: Matches a 3-inch fluid body with massive 3-inch internal screens, allowing for maximum fluid volume and eliminating the flow restrictions common in standard 2-inch screen models.

• Continuous Dual-Barrel Operation: Operators can seamlessly bypass the flow, isolate a filled barrel, dump the accumulated junk, and resume filtration without ever shutting in the well.

• Extreme Equipment Preservation: Intercepts large, destructive milled composites and abrasive solids, preventing catastrophic wear on downstream choke manifolds and separation vessels.

• 15,000 PSI CWP Rating: Manufactured with heavy-duty forged steel bodies and FIG 1502 hammer union connections, ensuring absolute pressure containment in demanding frac iron setups.

Specifications & Technical Details

Applications

The 9-Valve Trash Catcher Manifold is specifically deployed in highly regulated or extreme-hazard operations where safety protocols mandate Double Block and Bleed isolation. It is the preferred primary filtration hub for ultra-high-rate frac fluid recovery, extreme multi-stage coiled tubing drill-outs, and offshore or high-H2S well pad environments where both maximum flow and maximum safety are required.

Quality Assurance

Manufactured in strict accordance with API 6A and NACE MR0175 standards for sour service environments. Every pressure-retaining body and high-pressure plug valve undergoes comprehensive non-destructive testing (NDT)—including ultrasonic (UT) and magnetic particle (MPI) inspections—and is subjected to rigorous hydrostatic pressure testing (up to 22,500 PSI) to guarantee reliable field safety.
