When the kicker valve to the scraper trap was opened to launch a pig out of cottonwood station, a 3" plug valve and 3" gate valve on the scraper drain line were not in the closed position. A vac truck had its hose hooked up to the drain line assembly in preparation of draining the trap after the launch of the pig. As the trap pressured up, the vac truck hose also pressured up causing the release at the fitting connection on the drain line assembly.
