Abstract
The invention concerns a connector for producing a press connection with at least one pipe, which is pressed tightly against the connector radially by irreversible deformation or by a collar. The invention also concerns a press connection consisting of a connector and connecting pipe. The connector is composed of a basic pipe-shaped body 12, on whose outer periphery there is at least one area 14 against which the pipe 16 is tightly pressed radially. The basic body 12 is made of polyvinylidene fluoride which has a long life and high pressure and temperature resistance.
Claims9
A connector for producing a press connection with at least one pipe, said connector comprising:
- a pipe-shaped body having an outer periphery with at least one peripheral area including a pair of ribbed sections having sharp top edges, wherein said peripheral area is adapted to be tightly pressed radially against said pipe when said connector is secured to said pipe;
- an O-ring axially secured to and projecting radially outward from said body, wherein said O-ring comprises an elastic material;
- first and second axial ribs for providing rotational safety in both directions of rotation of said pipe on said connector;
- and
- wherein said body comprises polyvinylidene fluoride.
