It is advantageous to tune the front end of the connecting nipple 12 to the bottom wall 24 in such a way that the annular groove 26 is maintained and the smallest possible notch effect emanates from the welding point, in particular on the outside of the connecting nipple. For this, a small angle ⁇ (FIG. 5) is advantageous.

  • Fig. 6 shows an embodiment in which the manifold 10 and the connection nipple 12 are made for example by forging as a unitary material assembly.
  • the connection recess is missing altogether.
