The invention relates to a connector (1) for hinging a first and second pipeline (3, 5), in particular a first and second pipeline (3, 5) of an engine-powered hot air supply system in an aircraft, with an additional tolerance compensation capacity, wherein one pipe end (2) of the first pipeline (3) is hinged by a tie rod (32) with a pipe end (4) of the second pipeline (5) with the formation of a gap (39). According to the invention, the opposing pipe ends (2, 4) are enveloped by a sealing unit, in particular a metal bellows (11), for sealing the gap (39), and the first end (33) of the tie rod (32) has an adjusting unit (35) for length adjustment. Because the adjusting unit 35 is arranged on the edge, the connector 1 according to the invention is easy to assemble, wherein a separable V-flange joint is provided in the area of the pipe end (2) of the first pipeline (3). The metal bellows (11) as a sealing unit gives it a long service life and enables maintenance-free operation, in particular for media with a high pressure and/or high temperatures, e.g., of the kind encountered in engine-powered hot air supply systems in aircraft. |
