The flexible pipe (42, 44, 46) being connected to at least one actuating means provided by a system component associated with the operation of the pipe such that the system component is actuated in response to movement of the pipe arising from failure of, or damage to the pipe. The system component may consist of a valve (48) for venting pressure from a hydraulic circuit (16) used in offshore installations and actuation of the valve (48) may be provided by a lever (102A, 102B) connected between the valve (48) and one of the flexible pipes (42, 44, 46) by a lanyard (24).</p> |
