Gas-socket outlet

A gas socket with a housing (1) comprising an inlet port (2) for the establishment of a fixed connection of the gas socket with a gas piping installed on a wall (28) in a stationary way, with a shutoff device (10) for the connection of a gas connecting plug which, when the gas connecting plug is connected, does not release the internal gas path until external tightness is established, where the shutoff device (10) protrudes in a gas-tight way into the housing (1) with a tube-shaped nozzle (11) that can be shifted in a longitudinal way;

• with a retaining element (29) connected with the wall (28) in a stationary way, where, on the one hand, housing (1) is fastened in a torsion-proof way and, on the other, the shutoff device (10) can be mounted;
• and with a cover (35) open on its face-side which, in one of its side walls, has an opening (36) for the inlet port (2) and otherwise surrounds the retaining element (29) and the housing (1) in a freely movable way, while it is supported on the wall (28) on the one hand and on the shutoff device (10) on the other when the shutoff device is fastened.
