A press fitting for a pipe connection is provided. The press fitting comprises a fitting body for connecting the press fitting to a pipe, a substantially cylindrical pressing sleeve fixed to the fitting body and having a pressing area, and a stop ring fixed to the pressing sleeve and limiting the pressing area in an axial direction of the press sleeve. The stop ring has a substantially cylindrical inner contour with protruding first regions and second regions receding from the first regions. The first areas of the first stop ring encompass an outer contour of the pressing sleeve in a clamping manner. The second areas of the stop ring are spaced from the outer contour of the pressing sleeve.

A mounting group for a press fitting is provided. The mounting group includes cylindrical pressing sleeve with a pressing area and a stop ring fixed to a first axial end of the pressing sleeve and limiting the pressing area in an axial direction of the pressing sleeve. The stop ring has a first inner contour on a side opposite the pressing area and as a first circular segment and a second circular segment, which extends over a smaller part of the first inner contour than the first circular segment. The stop ring has a constant cross-section in the region of the first circular segment and an element arranged in the region of the second circular segment which projects inwardly beyond the constant cross-section of the first circular segment and causes a tilting of an axis of symmetry of the pressing sleeve.

A metallic connection with a metal pipe, with a base body made of metal, with at least one supporting body made of metal and formed in one piece with the base body for insertion into a pipe end and with at least one pressing sleeve made of metal and connected to the base body for receiving the pipe end, the supporting body and the pressing sleeve being designed for radial pressing, the supporting body having a first sealing section arranged at the distal end with at least one radially encircling sealing tooth has a holding region adjoining the first sealing section in the axial direction, holding teeth which are distributed around the circumference and extend axially, and a second sealing section adjoining the holding region in the axial direction and having at least one radially extending sealing tooth.

A press fitting for an electrical conduit includes a fitting body and a press connector in a press-connection section of the fitting body to allow press-fit connection to a conduit. A conduit retainer in a conduit retainer section of the fitting body releasably grips and removably retains the electrical conduit in the fitting body before the press-connection section is deformed radially inward during the press connection process.

A garden hose has an inner tube for conveying water at domestic water pressure from a first coupler disposed at a first end of the inner tube to a second coupler disposed at a second end of the inner tube, the inner tube being waterproof and flexible, the first coupler adapted to threadedly connect to a conventional water faucet and the second coupler adapted to threadedly connect to a conventional garden appliance. The hose has a metal sheath disposed over the inner tube and extending from the first coupler to the second coupler, the flexible metal sheath having a first shoulder near the first coupler and a second shoulder near the second coupler, the metal sheath being flexible, and a fabric sheath disposed over the metal sheath and fixed to the metal sheath by a first constricting band disposed at the first shoulder and a second constricting band disposed at the second shoulder.

A press connection system comprises a press tool (50, 60), a fitting (1) and at least a first tube (2) of a first tube diameter (R13), the press tool (50) to act with force on a deformation zone (3) of the fitting (1). The deformation zone (3) is pressed either on first tube (2) of a first tube diameter (R13) or to a second tube (2) of a second tube diameter (R23), the second tube diameter (R23) being smaller than the first tube diameter (R13). Further, a press tool, inserts therefore and a tubing system and the use of these enable to connect tubes of more than one diameter to the fitting.

A coupling for attaching to an end of a tube, pipe, conduit or other round solid or hollow section. The coupling includes an inner body and a collar to be provided around the inner body. The inner body has an interior bore passing through at least a portion thereof to receive a tube and the bore has one or more interior annular protuberances extending into the bore. When the collar is provided around the inner body it applies a circumferential compressive force to deform the inner body such that the one or more annular protuberances engage the tube to seal with it.

An assembly having a fitting body, a structure, an annular cavity within the fitting body, a grip ring, a seal element, and a spacing element. The structure has an end that is received in the fitting body. The annular cavity is disposed within the fitting body between an interior surface of the fitting body and an exterior surface of the structure. The grip ring, seal element, and spacing element are disposed in the annular cavity in a side-by-side relationship. The grip ring includes a plurality of first teeth that engage the exterior surface of the structure. Both the seal element and the spacing element extend radially across a height of the annular cavity such that the seal element and the spacing element each contact and sealingly engage the exterior surface of the structure and the interior surface of the fitting body.

A metallic pipe connection may comprise a tubular body and a terminal tubular engagement portion configured to be engaged on a pipe and to be fixed thereto by means of plastic deformation of the engagement portion, and a terminal flange on the opposite side of the tubular body with respect to that one provided with the tubular engagement portion. The tubular engagement portion may include an annular seat for a sealing gasket, having a first housing groove for the sealing gasket which may be internally open towards the tubular engagement portion, and at least part of the tubular engagement portion and the annular seat may be plastically deformed such to generate a mechanical seal on the pipe on which the tubular engagement portion is fitted.

The press fitting for a pipe, is provided with a fitting body which has a supporting sleeve with a free end and a pressing sleeve. The pressing sleeve is held substantially concentrically with respect to the supporting sleeve by means of at least one spacer element arranged at the holding end of the pressing sleeve. I the region of the holding end of the pressing sleeve, the fitting body has a locking depression or a locking projection. At the holding end, the cylindrical wall of the pressing sleeve has at least one opening through which a locking element extends to the axial fitting of the pressing sleeve to the fitting body, wherein the locking element projects into the locking depression of the fitting body and ends in the depression, or the locking element engages around or behind the locking projection of the fitting body.
