Special connections The following types of union are spray-proof in case of leakage even without covers and have been con‐ firmed as being SOLAS-compliant by GL and DNV. Plug-in pipe connection Design precludes lateral spray as the point of separation is shielded by the sleeve (4). Only seepage along the pipeline is possible whereby the pressure is greatly reduced by a faulty O-ring (3).
