Can the inlet pipeline of a reciprocating compressor for combustible gases be connected using a hose?

Can the inlet and outlet pipelines of a reciprocating compressor for combustible gases be connected using hoses? Are there any regulations? For Class A gases, should one consider whether the hose is prone to leakage? However, the inlet and outlet pipelines of the on-site combustible gas reciprocating compressor are connected using hoses.
I have never seen reciprocating compressors with their inlet and outlet pipelines connected using hoses.
Vertical oil-free vacuum pumps use hoses at the inlet and outlet; they are used for vacuum creation and the pressure is not high
The main factors to consider should be leakage, pressure, and anti-freezing.
