Abstract:
1. Subsea manifold for fluids, comprising a housing including a number of fluid apertures through walls forming the housing, and a fluid diverter system, comprising: a fluid diverter element mounted in the fluid diverter system, wherein the fluid diverter system comprises a ring element having a bottom flange section with an outer configuration complementary to an inner configuration of the housing and a top flange section forming a roof of the housing when the ring element is connected to the housing, which ring element is positioned around the fluid diverter element and connected to the fluid diverter element, and which ring element comprises fluid apertures corresponding to the fluid apertures in the housing; and a drive connections means for rotating the fluid diverter element, wherein the drive connection means extends through the top flange section of the ring element and is releasably connected first to a drive actuator element and second to means for operating the rotation of the fluid diverter element manually or mechanically wherein the subsea manifold is constructed for use in a subsea environment for connecting or dividing one of several flows of fluid from a subsea well, and wherein the fluid diverter element is axially removable and insertable into the housing for servicing the fluid diverter element.
