If you have easy access to the connection, you can use a flexible pipe. The flexible pipe must be tightly attached by clamps.

In installation always use the pipe holder and the gasket. The flexible pipe can be applied when:

• it can not get hotter than room temperature, higher than 30 °C,
• it is not longer than 1500 mm,
• it has no narrowing anywhere,
• it is not twisted or tightened,
• it does not come in touch with sharp edges or corners,
• its conditions can be easily checked.

When checking the flexible pipe make sure:

• it does not show cracks, cuts, or marks of burnings on the two ends, and on its full length,
• the material is not hardened, but shows its correct elasticity,
• the fastening clamps are not rusted,
• expired term is not due. If one or more defects are visible, do not repair the pipe, but replace it.
