Pipe connector and an assembly of a pipe connector with at least two pipes

An assembly comprising a pipe connector and at least two pipes connected to the pipe connector via the first and second receptacles, the pipe connector comprising a first receptacle with a first insertion opening for inserting a pipe and a second receptacle with a second insertion opening for inserting a pipe,

• wherein:
• the pipe connector has at least one circumferential stop arranged between the first and the second insertion opening on an inner side of the pipe connector, the stop is configured to determine a maximum insertion depth of a pipe into the first and/or second receptacle;
• the pipe connector having at least one circumferential sealing lip arranged on the inner side of the pipe connector between the first and/or the second insertion opening and the stop, the circumferential sealing lip being configured to fluidically seal a pipe;
• the pipe connector has a flexible region arranged between the first and the second insertion opening and is composed of a deformable, compressible or expandable and/or elastic material, such that the first receptacle can be displaced in a translatory and/or rotatory manner relative to the second receptacle, wherein the flexible region comprises or is at least in part a bellows;
• and
• the pipe connector is configured for use in kitchen construction to connect the at least two pipes;
• and further wherein
• a. the longitudinal axes of the two pipes are oriented relative to each other at an angle between 1° and 15°, and/or
• b. the pipe ends of the pipes connected to the pipe connector have a distance and/or offset along the longitudinal axis of one or both pipes which is 1 to 2 cm greater or smaller than a depth t100 of the pipe connector, and/or
• C. the two pipes have a distance and/or offset substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pipes with respect to each other, in the direction of extension of a height h100 of the pipe connector and/or a width b100, which is between 1 to 2 cm.

• and
• a second receptacle with a second insertion opening for inserting a pipe,
• wherein:
• the pipe connector has at least one circumferential stop arranged between the first and the second insertion opening on an inner side of the pipe connector, the stop is configured to determine a maximum insertion depth of a pipe into the first and/or second receptacle;
• the pipe connector having at least one circumferential sealing lip arranged on the inner side of the pipe connector between the first and/or the second insertion opening and the stop, the circumferential sealing lip being configured to fluidically seal a pipe;
• the pipe connector has a flexible region arranged between the first and the second insertion opening and is composed of a deformable, compressible or expandable and/or elastic material, such that the first receptacle can be displaced in a translatory and/or rotatory manner relative to the second receptacle, wherein the flexible region comprises or is at least in part a bellows;
• and
• the pipe connector is configured for use in kitchen construction to connect the at least two pipes,
• the pipe connector comprising at least one pipe connector clip element arranged in the first and/or second receptacle, on the inner side, so that the pipe connector can be clipped to a pipe inserted into the first and/or second receptacle.

• and
• the pipe connector is configured for use in kitchen construction to connect the at least two pipes,
• wherein the outer surface of the pipe connector is or comprises a stiff and/or hard material having a first E-modulus and the inner surface of the pipe connector is or comprises a soft and/or compliant material having a second E-modulus compared to the material of the outer surface, the first E-modulus being greater than the second E-modulus.
