Abstract
An articulated fluid delivery unit (FDU) is disposed to deliver fluid remotely to, for example, a mating fluid connection housing assembly provided on a wellhead. A stinger assembly on the FDU includes a fluid connection adapter configured to deliver fluid to the fluid connection housing assembly. The stinger assembly further includes a slew drive having a fixed portion and rotating portion. Rotation of the rotating portion enables presentation of the fluid connection adapter and a separate nightcap interchangeably to the fluid connection housing assembly.
