<p>The present invention relates to a fluid-bearing appliance, that is an appliance bearing a liquid or a gas, such as a laundry washing machine, a laundry dryer, a washer-dryer machine, a dishwasher or a steam iron, having an improved pipe connector (2). A fluid-bearing appliance according to the invention comprises one or more fluid lines (1, 7) having at least one pipe connector (2), Said connector (2) comprises a hollow body (10) having a first and a second open end (11, 12) each of them being adapted to be connected to a pipe (5, 20), said hollow body (10) further comprises a first outer wall (13) extending around a longitudinal axis Y of the connector (2) and joining said open ends (11, 12). Said at least one pipe connector (2) comprises a second inner wall (15), facing said first outer wall (13), inwardly extending around the longitudinal axis Y from one of the ends (11, 12) to the other (12, 11), for guiding a fluid flowing through said connector (2), said second wall (15) having a third free end (17) provided between the first and the second ends (11, 12) of said hollow body (10) for allowing said outer wall (13) to damp displacements that can involve one or both sides of the line (1) reciprocally associated through pipe connector (2).</p> |
