A press fitting for pipes comprises a socket with an insert opening for a pipe end (4). An annular groove-shaped space (11) present in a press wall part (10) of a press region is delimited by a limitation edge (12). A gripping ring (17) is placed in the groove-shaped space. The press region is deformable from a non-compressed state a compressed state by a radially inward directed pressing action causing the press wall part to radially compress and the gripping ring to grip the pipe end. A check ring (19) is provided which has one or more break segments (32) and a coupling part (26, 28). The break segments can be forced to break free by the pressing action, while the coupling part then comes to lie visible at least partly in between the limitation edge and the pipe end. |
