Special connections
In case of leakage, the following connection types are spray-protected even without a cover and have
been confirmed compliant with SOLAS by GL and DNV.
Plug-in pipe connection
The sleeve (4) covers the joint to prevent lateral spray.
Only leak-off along the line is possible, the pressure is decreased significantly if an O-ring (3) defect oc‐
curs.
The connection is confirmed as compliant with SOLAS by DNV and GL.
Plugs and sensors
Screw-in plugs (2) are sealed toward the outside either with a copper sealing ring (1), according to DIN,
or an O-ring (ISO).
In case of a loose thread or a defective sealing ring (2), the fluid first has to pass the thread.
The pressure is so greatly reduced by this and the faulty sealing ring (2) that any leakage is not under
pressure.
