Abstract:
1. A choke and kill line system for a blowout preventer comprising: a choke line having a choke line coupling member for connecting the choke line to the blowout preventer; a kill line having a kill line coupling member for connecting the kill line to the blowout preventer; a first line coupling member secured to the blowout preventer, the first line coupling member being adapted for releaseably connecting the first line coupling member to the choke line coupling member, and the choke line coupling member being adapted for releaseably connecting the choke line coupling member to the first line coupling member; and a second line coupling member secured to the blowout preventer, the second line coupling member being adapted for releaseably connecting the second line coupling member to the kill line coupling member, and the kill line coupling member being adapted for releaseably connecting the kill line coupling member to the second line coupling member, wherein the choke line coupling member and the first line coupling member releaseably connect to form a breechblock connection; and the kill line coupling member and the second line coupling member releaseably connect to form a breechblock connection.
