Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for installing a Line pipe system and a device for the permanent connection of Elements or line pipe sections, according to the preamble of Claim 1 and 7 respectively.
  • DE-U 90 16 310.9 describes a method for installing a conduit system consisting of a compressible area with elements such as fittings, Fittings and molded parts and pipe sections known, in which Line pipe sections and elements pushed onto a nozzle and by means of a externally attached pressing tool are releasably connected to each other.
  • connection of the line pipe sections to each other or with the elements mentioned is either detachable, for example Screw or unsolvable via welding, soldering or pressing.
  • detachable for example Screw or unsolvable via welding, soldering or pressing.
  • Press systems have been developed, which are characterized by elements, the at least one compressible end area and one in this area have arranged sealing ring and in the cut to length, smooth-ended pipe sections inserted and by means of a portable press tool with the inserted pipe end connected (see prospect Mannesmann Brass GmbH, 1992 (in part); s.
  • multi-strand Line pipe systems for example in an installation shaft High-rise or on a ship is the gradual pressing of the respective element with an associated line pipe section or very expensive with another element.
