15.4 Flexible pipe connections
When the engine or generating set is resiliently installed, all connections must be flexible and no grating
nor ladders may be fixed to the engine or generating set. When installing the flexible pipe connections,
unnecessary bending or stretching should be avoided. The external pipe must be precisely aligned to the
fitting or flange on the engine. It is very important that the pipe clamps for the pipe outside the flexible
connection must be very rigid and welded to the steel structure of the foundation to prevent vibrations,
which could damage the flexible connection.
