Connection using flexible
non metal pipes
When the connection can be easily
inspected in its full extent, there is the
chance to use a flexible pipe according
to the rules in force. The flexible pipe
must be tightly fixed using clamps
according to the rules in force.
The flexible pipe should be made ready
for use in such a way that:
- nowhere it can reach overtemperature,
other than room temperature, higher
than 30°C; if the flexible pipe, to reach
the cock, must run behind the range,
it must be installed as shown in the
diagram;
- it is no longer than 1500 mm;
- it shows no throttles;
- it is not subject to traction or torsion;
- it doesn't get in touch with cutting
edges or corners;
- it can be easily inspected in order to
check its condition.
The control of preservation of the flexible
pipe consists in checking that:
- it doesn't show cracks, cuts, marks
of burnings both on the end parts and
on its full extent;
- the material is not hardened, but shows
its normal elasticity;
- the fastening clamps are not rusted;
- expiry term is not due.
If one or more abnormalities are seen,
do not repair the pipe, but replace it.
IMPORTANT
Once installation is complete,
check the perfect seal of every pipe
fitting, using a soapy solution, never
a flame.
