Device for connecting a pipe section extending along a pipe axis

Abstract

A device for connecting a pipe section (2) extending along a pipe axis (1) to an axis-parallel connection nipple (3) is described, comprising a cover sleeve (6) that can be slid onto the pipe section (2) and / or the connection nipple (3), wherein the pipe section (2) to be connected can be slid onto the connection nipple (3) in an insertion direction (5) into an installation position and can be fixed between the connection nipple (3) on the one hand and the cover sleeve (6) on the other. In order to reduce the risk of unwanted leaks due to an improperly made connection, it is proposed that the cover sleeve (6) and / or the connection nipple (3) be designed such that, in the installation position, the connected pipe section (2) is at least partially visible in a connection area covered by the cover sleeve (6).
