Claim 15:
16. A pump comprising:
a bore pump fluid end having a reciprocating element bore, a discharge valve assembly comprising a discharge valve seat and a discharge valve body, and a suction valve assembly comprising a suction valve seat and a suction valve body, wherein an inside diameter of the discharge valve seat is greater than an outside diameter of the suction valve body, the suction valve seat, the reciprocating element, or a combination thereof,
a hollow, cylindrical reciprocating element having a front end opposite a fluid intake end;
a hollow reciprocating element adapter comprising a first end having a fluid inlet opposite a second end having a fluid outlet, wherein the second end of the reciprocating element adapter is connected to and in fluid communication with the fluid intake end of the reciprocating element;
a pump power end having a push rod connected to the first end of the reciprocating element adapter, the pump power end operable to reciprocate the reciprocating element in the reciprocating element bore of the pump fluid end; and
a movable manifold comprising a reciprocating element end and a fluid intake end, wherein the reciprocating element end of the movable manifold is connected to and in fluid communication with the fluid inlet of the reciprocating element adapter, whereby the reciprocating element end of the movable manifold moves in a same axial direction as the reciprocating element during reciprocation of the reciprocating element in alternating directions along a path within the reciprocating element bore of the bore pump fluid end, and wherein the fluid intake end of the movable manifold is configured for connection to and fluid communication with a stationary fluid manifold such that fluid can be introduced into the movable manifold via the stationary fluid manifold and the fluid intake end of the movable manifold.
