Abstract: A flared screw fitting has a pipe expanded in an end section into a tulip flare. A connecting piece has a conical stop face situated on an end section, which is joined in the direction of a forward front face of the connecting piece by a groove. An internal mantle surface of a union element contacts an external mantle surface of the tulip flare in an area whose smallest diameter is larger than the smallest diameter of the stop face of the connecting piece. The union element may be provided with an external threaded section which works together with an internal threaded section of the connecting piece.

Abstract: A pipe connection has a aped pipe, a screw fitting body having an internal cone, a union nut, screwable onto the screw fitting body, having an internal clamping face, which, in the operating state of the pipe connection, works together with an outwardly projecting retention face of a retention bulge of the pipe which is produced facing away from the pipe end by reshaping and projects radially outward beyond the outer mantle surface of the pipe, and having an adapter ring which is supported on the side facing toward the screw fitting body by a conical clamping face in the internal cone of the screw fitting body. To provide an alternative pipe connection of this type, the adapter ring may be supported in the operating state on the side facing toward the pipe by a radially running contact face on the radially running front face of the pipe end.
