The collision bulkhead may be pierced below the bulkhead deck
by not more than one pipe for dealing with fluid in the forepeak tank, provided that the pipe is fitted with a
screw-down valve capable of being operated from above the bulkhead deck, the valve chest being secured
inside the forepeak to the collision bulkhead.
The Administration may, however, authorize the fitting of
this valve on the after side of the collision bulkhead provided that the valve is readily accessible under all
service conditions and the space in which it is located is not a cargo space. All valves shall be of steel, bronze
or other approved ductile material. Valves of ordinary cast iron or similar material are not acceptable.
