Abstract
A press fitting for a pipe connection is provided. The press fitting comprises a fitting body for connecting the press fitting to a pipe, a substantially cylindrical pressing sleeve fixed to the fitting body and having a pressing area, and a stop ring fixed to the pressing sleeve and limiting the pressing area in an axial direction of the press sleeve. The stop ring has a substantially cylindrical inner contour with protruding first regions and second regions receding from the first regions. The first areas of the first stop ring encompass an outer contour of the pressing sleeve in a clamping manner. The second areas of the stop ring are spaced from the outer contour of the pressing sleeve.

A press fitting for a pipe connection, comprising:
- a fitting body for connecting the press fitting to a pipe;
- a substantially cylindrical pressing sleeve fixed to the fitting body and having a pressing area;
- and
- a stop ring fixed to the pressing sleeve, which limits the pressing area in an axial direction of the pressing sleeve, wherein the stop ring has a substantially cylindrical inner contour only consisting of alternating protruding first areas and second areas arranged between and receding from the first areas,
- wherein the first areas of the stop ring encompass an outer contour of the pressing sleeve in a clamping manner, and
- wherein the second areas of the stop ring are spaced from the outer contour of the pressing sleeve.
An assembly group for a press fitting, comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical pressing sleeve having a pressing area;
- and
- a stop ring fixed to a first axial end of the pressing sleeve, which ring limits the pressing area in an axial direction of the pressing sleeve,
- wherein the stop ring has a substantially cylindrical inner contour only consisting of alternating protruding first areas and second areas arranged between and receding from the first areas,
- wherein the first areas of the stop ring encompass an outer contour of the pressing sleeve in a clamping manner, and
- wherein the second areas of the stop ring are spaced from the outer contour of the press sleeve.
