Definitions

  • the invention relates to an assembly device for producing a press connection between a fitting kit and a piece of pipe.
  • a component of the fitting kit is first of all a sleeve-like intermediate piece which is intended for the internal, axially introduced reception of a connecting end of the pipe section.
  • the fitting kit includes a press ring, which is intended to be slid over the intermediate piece by means of the assembly device—with the effect of creating a pressure-tight and mechanically resilient press connection between the connection end and the intermediate piece.
  • U.S. 5,398,394 is a hydraulic press tool for producing a press connection between a fitting kit and a pipe section.
  • the tool has an open, U-shaped, fixed first claw on which the intermediate piece of the fitting assembly is held.
  • the press ring is pressed by a U-shaped, open, axially advanceable second claw onto the intermediate piece in which the pipe section is inserted, resulting in the press connection.
  • the constructions according to U.S. 5,592,726 and WO 2016/179 070 A1 are based on the same principle.
  • the U.S. 5,694,670 relates to a pressing tool for the same purpose, in which a first exchangeable pair of jaws can be mounted on a fixed bearing, which serves to grip the intermediate piece of a fitting assembly in a fixed manner.

  • the proposed folding press tool consists of two half-shell-shaped housings connected to one another by means of hinges, which can be fixed in a closed position with a band to be looped around to carry out the pressing process. Due to the relatively light construction of this tool, its suitability is limited to smaller pipe dimensions.
  • the construction according to DE 10 2014 103 213 A1 discloses an assembly device according to the preamble of claim 1 and comprises a pliers-like pressing attachment, in which pipe sections to be pressed axially by means of a fitting assembly can be inserted in a non-detachable manner.
