Abstract

An adjustment and restraint system for a subsea flex joint (143) may include a pusher saddle (200,300) to be installed on a flex joint top plate (156) and a hydraulic cylinder (270,370) to be disposed in the pusher saddle. The hydraulic cylinder may be used to adjust a tilt angle of the adapter spool (154). A holder saddle (400) may also be installed on the flex joint top plate. The hydraulic cylinders, the holder saddles, holder members, or a combination thereof may be used to restrain the adapter spool in the upright position.
