A fluid end of a reciprocating pump that includes a housing defining multiple bores extending therein. In one embodiment, the present invention involves coupling a plate to a side of a smaller fluid end forging, thereby extending the overall length of the forging to capture the outer tie rods or stay rods that a larger forged fluid end typically captures. The plate allows a smaller forged fluid end to be utilized in a tie rod spacing that is outside of the smaller fluid end envelope. In one embodiment, the plate can partially capture the side or end surface of the fluid end. In another embodiment, the plate can fully capture the side or end surface of the fluid end.

Fluid end with extension plate

A cradle plate for high pressure reciprocating pumps is installable within a cradle disposed between a power end of a high pressure reciprocating pump and a fluid end of the high pressure reciprocating pump. The cradle plate has a main body that extends from a front surface to a back surface and a first set of openings that extend through the main body. The first set of openings are configured to receive a set of elongate couplers that position the cradle plate within the cradle in a position that secures a fluid end component against a casing of the fluid end, against a seal of the fluid end, or against both the casing and the seal.
