In the present case, when compared to screw connections, the modern quick connection elements produced by ACE have a distinct advantage: their material makes them resistant to the most diverse range of aggressive media, including salt water. Because of this, they provide protection to the housings which encase emergency pressure canisters that are used for the launch of lifeboats. In the most innocuous scenario, the housings would lose their stability through the effects of rust. In the worst case, damage to the pressure canisters could occur or to the entire davit construction.
