Fitting for connecting a pipe

Abstract

The invention relates to a fitting (1) for connecting a pipe, in particular for the installation field, wherein the fitting (1) comprises a hollow body (2), which extends in a pipe insertion direction (X) about a longitudinal axis (L), wherein the hollow body (2) comprises at least one pressing section (3), which can be plastically deformed in radial direction (Y) by means of a press tool (4) which can be attached prior to the pressing and which can be detached after the pressing, wherein the pressing section (3) comprises a circumferential bead (5) which projects outwardly in radial direction, which, on the inside, forms a groove (5a) for accommodating a sealing ring, wherein the pressing section (3) further comprises at least two cutting blades (6, 7), which are fixedly connected to the hollow body (2) on the inside and each of which comprises a cutting edge (6c, 7c), which is formed by a first blade surface (6a, 7a) and a second blade surface (6b, 7b), wherein one cutting blade (6) is arranged upstream of the bead (5), relative to the pipe insertion direction (X) and wherein a further cutting blade (7) is arranged downstream from the bead (5), relative to the pipe insertion direction (X). A sufficiently tight sealing is thus ensured, even when using a lead and nickel-free alloy. The invention further relates to a corresponding pressing system.
