An assembled heatable media line, comprising:
- a media line with at least two heating elements arranged on and in direct contact with an exterior surface thereof and having at least one line connector,
- wherein to heat the at least one line connector, only one of the at least two heating elements is additionally arranged on and in direct contact with the line connector, such that the only one of the at least two heating elements is routed from the media line and is wound around or arranged on the line connector and is the only heating element provided for heating the line connector,
- wherein the only heating element provided on and in direct contact with the at least one line connector projects from the media line with a greater length (Δl) than any other of the at least two heating elements,
- wherein each of the at least two heating elements have no crimping and no connection points in a transition region between the media line and the at least one line connector, with one of the at least two heating elements routed directly from the media line over the transition region and either left open, connected in series to the other one of the at least two heating elements, or connected to a lead, and
- wherein the at least two heating elements consist of a single wire, strand or filament along their respective lengths.
