Abstract: A fitting for a sealing, non-releasable pipe connection, including a main fitting body for accommodating at least one pipe which is to be connected, and at least one pressing sleeve. The main fitting body and the pressing sleeve have pressing surfaces, which are assigned to one another. The main fitting body has a pressing surface which, in the installed state, is directed towards the pipe which is to be connected, and is assigned to a peripheral region of the main fitting body. The pressing surfaces assigned to one another on the main fitting body and on the pressing sleeve are formed such that the action of pushing the pressing sleeve axially onto the main fitting body gives rise to the peripheral region of the main fitting body being narrowed radially.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting for producing a leaktight connection with a pipe end, having at least one pressing portion designed for pressing and the insertion of a pipe end, having at least one sealing and at least one retaining element. The sealing and retaining elements are arranged in the pressing portion. The retaining element is substantially annular. The annular shape defines axial and circumferential directions. The retaining element has two ends with respect to the circumferential direction. Specifying a fitting with a retaining element is achieved when the retaining element has, at each of the two ends, at least one contact surface extending at least partially in the circumferential direction. The contact surfaces are designed to be brought into contact with one another upon pressing the pressing portion. The invention relates to a system and method for producing a leaktight connection between a pipe end and fitting.
