ABSTRACT:
A coupling sleeve (3) pushed onto the plastic pipe (1) and provided with barbs (3a) is drawn over a driving shoulder against the connecting piece (2) by a union nut (4). The opened-out pipe end (1a) is clamped between a curved end face of the connecting piece (2) and the coupling sleeve (3). Possible leakages caused by the flow of the pipe material are prevented by a spring (6), and the pipe (1) is prevented from turning during assembly by a sliding ring (5).
The device used for assembling the pipe connection has grips (13) for fixing the pipe in position with a toggle lock (16) and a press ring (26), which can be displaced in sliding manner on a stop (25) acting as a centering arbor, and can be actuated by a hand lever (31). With only a few manipulations, the coupling sleeve (3) can be pushed onto the centrally held plastic pipe (1).
Owing to the omission of the supporting sleeve required hitherto, the through-flow cross-section of the plastic pipe (1) is not reduced by the installation of this pipe connection. Heating up the end of the plastic pipe is no longer necessary during assembly. The pipe connection, which can be made cost effectively, is uncomplicated in its construction and absolutely liquid-tight.
