Abstract
A junk ring includes an upstream end, a downstream end, and a tapered outer surface between its upstream end and downstream end. The tapered outer surface extends at an angle relative to the upstream end and relative to the downstream end to allow the junk ring to tilt or tip during installation or removal without getting stuck in a fluid end bore segment.
