A connection device for a peripherally ribbed pipe (4), including: a pipe receptacle (1) having a receiving opening for receiving an end of the pipe (4); and a catch element (3) for fastening the pipe (4) in the pipe receptacle (1). The pipe receptacle (1) has a longitudinal center plane (M), which extends through the receiving opening. The catch element (3) has a first point (SI), which allows movement of at least part of the catch element relative to the pipe receptacle (1), and a second point (S2), which is designed to engage in a corrugation trough (41) of the peripherally ribbed pipe (4). At least when the pipe (4) is inserted and fastened, the first point (SI) lies closer to the longitudinal center plane (M) than the second point (S2) does. The connection device allows easy, leaktight, and secure fastening of a pipe.
A connection device for a peripherally ribbed pipe, wherein the connection device comprises a pipe receptacle having a receiving opening for receiving an end of the pipe and at least one latching element for fastening the pipe in the pipe receptacle, wherein the pipe receptacle has a longitudinal center plane which extends through the receiving opening, wherein the latching element has a first point which allows movement of at least part of the latching element relative to the pipe receptacle, and a second point which is designed to engage in a corrugation trough of the peripherally ribbed pipe, wherein, at least when the pipe is inserted and fastened, the first point lies closer to the longitudinal center plane than the second point, and wherein at least one recess is present at a periphery of the pipe receptacle providing a view into the connection device, wherein a seal is present, the seal being arranged in the pipe receptacle for axial contact with one end of the pipe and wherein the at least one recess forms at least one visual access point to the seal.
A connection device for a peripherally ribbed pipe, wherein the connection device comprises a pipe receptacle having a receiving opening for receiving an end of the pipe and at least one latching element for fastening the pipe in the pipe receptacle, wherein the pipe receptacle has a longitudinal center plane which extends through the receiving opening, wherein the latching element has a first point which allows movement of at least part of the latching element relative to the pipe receptacle, and a second point which is designed to engage in a corrugation trough of the peripherally ribbed pipe, wherein, at least when the pipe is inserted and fastened, the first point lies closer to the longitudinal center plane than the second point, wherein a seal is present, the seal being arranged in the pipe receptacle for axial contact with one end of the pipe, wherein the pipe receptacle forms at least one visual access point to the seal, wherein the pipe receptacle has at least one recess on its periphery, and wherein the latching element protrudes with its second point into this recess and wherein the visual access point is formed by the recess.
A connection device for a peripherally ribbed pipe, wherein the connection device comprises a pipe receptacle having a receiving opening for receiving an end of the pipe and two latching elements for fastening the pipe in the pipe receptacle, wherein the pipe receptacle has a longitudinal center plane which extends through the receiving opening, wherein each of the latching elements has a first point which allows movement of at least part of the latching element relative to the pipe receptacle, and a second point which is designed to engage in a corrugation trough of the peripherally ribbed pipe, wherein, at least when the pipe is inserted and fastened, the first point lies closer to the longitudinal center plane than the second point, and wherein at least one recess is present at a periphery of the pipe receptacle providing a view into the connection device;
