Patent number: 9664086Abstract: A heatable fluid line is disclosed having a tube, a connector that comprises a housing which is arranged at an end of the tube, and a heating rod that is arranged in the interior of the tube and enters into the housing through an inlet channel having a longitudinal axis and exits out of the housing through an opening arranged in a neck, wherein a seal is arranged in the neck, which seal surrounds the heating rod and is held in the neck by a plug (21). The object is to be able to achieve a reliable assembly in a simple manner. For this purpose, it is provided that the plug (21) comprises at least two parts (22, 23) which are connected to one another by an articulation section (24) having an articulation axis.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: NORMA GERMANY GMBHInventors: Ervin Birman, Carsten Eckardt, Stephan Mann
