I have a vertical in-line pump supported by a base plate bolted in a foundation. The pump is subjected to loads and moments in the nozzles greater than twice the allowables give in the table 4 of the Standard API 610.

In the annex F, numeral F2 “Vertical In-Line Pumps” [API 610] says textually: “Vertical in-line pumps that are supported only by the attached piping”.

Can I apply the Annex F numeral F2 criteria to my pump? Or what criteria I have to apply?
