- the carrier unit with the sealing element 206 is formed together from a metal, in particular from a metal sheet.
- the carrier ring 314 and the flat gasket 206 together form a one-piece ring, which runs closed around the sealing axis 212 in the circumferential direction.
- the carrier ring 314 extends to the sealing axis 212 radially outside the flat seal 206, which connects radially inwardly integrally to the support ring 314.
- clamping elements 322 are provided with clamping arms 332.
- the carrier unit has tabs 324 as an alternative or in addition.
- lugs 392 are still provided, which, in particular in one piece, to the support ring 114 and / or the flat gasket 206th
- the support unit 208 with the flat gasket 206 for example, during a transport of the clamp device to this, in particular clipped on one of its clamp jaws 216, 218 or, for example, during assembly of the pipe connection, the lugs can be applied to one of the pipe end pieces 102, 104 and with these, the support unit 208 with the flat gasket 206 are temporarily pressed against the pipe end piece 102, 104, so that for assembly these elements are fixed to the pipe end piece 102, 104 for assembly and assembly is facilitated.
- connecting flanges 142, 144 point toward the carrier unit 208, in particular its carrier ring 314, and the flat gasket 206
- sealing member 206 is formed as a flat gasket 206, in the
