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 ac-
cording to the rules in force.
The flexible pipe should be made
ready for use in such a way that:
- nowhere it can reach overtempera-
ture, 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 Fig. 2;
- 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.

Once installation is complete,
check the perfect seal of every
pipe fitting, using a soapy solu-
tion, never a flame.
