Description
API 6A Frac Head for Oilfield Fracturing Service
SGPE manufactures API 6A Frac Heads for hydraulic fracturing, frac tree connection, wellhead stimulation, plug-and-perf operations, drop ball fracturing, acidizing, and high-pressure pumping service. A frac head, also called a fracturing head, goat head, wellhead frac head, stimulation head, or API 6A frac adapter, connects multiple high-pressure treating lines to the upper section of a frac tree or wellhead assembly.
During fracturing operations, the frac head receives flow from several pressure pumping lines and directs fracturing fluid, proppant, chemicals, and stimulation media into the wellbore. Because it works at a key pressure control point, the final design must match the bore size, working pressure, outlet layout, valve configuration, material class, temperature range, API 6A requirement, and field connection dimensions.
SGPE supplies standard and customized frac heads in common sizes such as 4-1/16″, 5-1/8″, and 7-1/16″. In addition, common pressure ratings include 5,000 psi, 10,000 psi, and 15,000 psi. Customers can also choose 40° or 60° outlet angles, 4 to 6 outlet configurations, flanged ends, studded ends, hammer union outlets, manual valve layouts, hydraulic valve layouts, sour service materials, and OEM designs based on project drawings.
As an API 6A Frac Head Supplier and API 6A Frac Head Manufacturer, SGPE supports drawing-based production, configuration review, and project document preparation for oilfield service companies, frac fleet operators, drilling contractors, wellhead equipment suppliers, EPC contractors, and oil and gas project buyers. Therefore, customers can improve connection compatibility, reduce field modification risk, and source reliable high-pressure fracturing equipment more efficiently.

What Is an API 6A Frac Head?
An API 6A frac head is a high-pressure wellhead component used in hydraulic fracturing and well stimulation operations. It normally mounts on a frac tree, wellhead assembly, tubing head adapter, master valve, or pressure control assembly. In most field applications, its main function is to combine several high-pressure flowlines and guide the flow into the well through a controlled path.
Common Names in Global RFQs
Different markets use different names for this product. For example, buyers may search for frac head, fracturing head, API 6A fracturing head, high pressure fracturing head, wellhead frac head, oilfield frac head, frac head assembly, API 6A goat head, fracturing goat head, frac tree head, or stimulation head.
In most RFQs, these names refer to a multi-outlet pressure control head used for frac tree and wellhead connection. Therefore, when buyers send an inquiry, drawings or clear connection details can help avoid misunderstanding.
Equipment Used with a Frac Head
A frac head often works with API 6A gate valves, high-pressure plug valves, check valves, frac manifolds, treating iron, hammer unions, flowline pup joints, crossovers, and other pressure control equipment. Therefore, buyers should confirm size, pressure rating, outlet arrangement, connection type, material class, PSL level, PR level, and service condition before ordering.
When drawings or datasheets are available, the engineering team reviews the field layout before production. As a result, this review helps avoid pressure mismatch, outlet interference, wrong connection dimensions, limited access for treating lines, and installation delays.

Available Frac Head Configurations
Drop Ball Frac Head
A drop ball frac head supports staged ball-drop fracturing operations. Operators use this design when they need to drop balls into the wellbore during stimulation stages. In addition, the structure should provide enough access for ball dropping while maintaining pressure integrity, sealing reliability, and safe connection with the frac tree.
This configuration often suits shale oil, shale gas, tight oil, and tight gas wells. Based on the project layout, the design may include customized top access, side outlets, manual valves, hydraulic valves, and special connection arrangements.
Plug-and-Perf Frac Head
A plug-and-perf frac head connects treating lines to the frac tree during repeated pumping stages. This type requires a strong body, accurate sealing design, and practical outlet layout because crews often connect several high-pressure lines in a compact area.
The configuration can follow customer drawings, frac manifold layout, treating iron direction, valve arrangement, and pressure pumping procedure. As a result, the final assembly can match the job site more smoothly and reduce connection adjustments before operation.
Perforating Frac Head
A perforating frac head supports fracturing jobs that involve perforating and stimulation operations. It works with wellhead equipment, pressure control assemblies, frac trees, and high-pressure pumping lines.
Threaded or Screw-Connection Frac Head
Some projects require threaded or screw-connection frac heads because of existing wellhead equipment, local connection standards, or special field preferences. This option gives customers another connection solution when a standard flanged frac head or studded frac head does not fully match the assembly.
The thread type, sealing structure, outlet direction, pressure rating, material class, and inspection documents can follow project requirements. Moreover, this configuration helps customers match older equipment or special stimulation packages.
Conventional Fracturing Head
A conventional fracturing head provides a proven solution for standard hydraulic fracturing, acidizing, well stimulation, and pressure pumping service. It normally includes multiple side outlets and a main bore connected to the frac tree or wellhead assembly.
SGPE conventional frac heads cover 5,000 psi, 10,000 psi, and 15,000 psi working pressure requirements. In addition, customers may request manual valves, hydraulic valves, flanged outlets, studded outlets, or hammer union connections.
