AI Technical Summary
Existing pipe connections suffer from uneven radial deformation of the outer sleeve, leading to wandering and poor sealing performance, especially with oval or eccentric pipe ends, and are difficult to assemble due to rigid connections between the crimp sleeve and support body.
A connecting element system with a flexible connection between the crimp sleeve and the connecting element using a retaining element as a separate component, allowing the crimp sleeve to be pre-assembled and mobile relative to the central axis, facilitating easy insertion and compensation for pipe eccentricity, and ensuring a leak-proof seal.
The system provides a leak-proof connection that compensates for pipe eccentricity, improves sealing along the entire length, and simplifies assembly by using a flexible connection design with a retaining element, reducing the need for additional fixation and material costs.
