specified positional relationship


Explanation:
所定 here means the way it is supposed to be, i.e. specified.
状態 is often used in Japanese rather carelessly and you need to interpret what this is supposed to mean in the context. Here, it appears to refer to positional relationship between pipes. You could say: specified way. But it is better to be more specific in patent.
