Overall view of the LOX high-pressure duct.

It exits from the turbopump near the upper center of this photo, descends diagonally, curves back upon itself, and then turns 90° to disappear across the front of the engine at bottom right.

On the S-3D, the turbopumps were mounted on the missile frame, forward of the engine's gimbal bearing, which meant that the high-pressure ducts had to allow for the movement of the engine; to this end, the ducts incorporated braided-covered bellows sections to provide the required flexibility.

Also note the fuel high-pressure duct, located in front of the LOX high-pressure duct.
