Abstract: In order to simplify, and to render easier, and to avoid manipulating difficulties of small-diameter pipes, which have to be separated and singled in the processing at a separating distance (6) and which have to be transported after the processing either within a factory or to different manufacturing or treatment stations or between factories, and in particular of pipes (1) with the bulges present or to be applied at their ends, such as pipe-connection nuts (26), protective caps (27), it is disclosed that the pipes (1) are separated continuously with a fixed distance (6, 6a) in between the pipes and are disposed at such a distance in a direction parallel to their axis, and are further separated on a moving support (10).

Abstract: A pipe connection for thin-walled, small-diameter metal pipes, in particular for braking lines, for fuel lines, and for hydraulic lines for motor vehicles, is provided with a sleeve (3) into which is sealingly set at least one first conically flared metal pipe (1) (so-called flare according to ISO 4038) in a bore cone (25) under the compression force of a tensioning body (8, respectively, 9) resting against the flare (23).In order to provide a pipe connection without screw parts and taking into account the narrow assembly or mounting quarters and in order to achieve a satisfactory sealing effect for the full duration of the operation of the connection, it is proposed to employ a sleeve (12) with an axially fixed annular channel (18). A radially partially thin-walled pressure bushing (15) is shifted onto the first metal pipe (1) up to resting at the flare (23).
