For connecting flexible corrugated hoses, which are not provided with fittings, for transporting preferably gaseous media in connection with high-pressure applications, a holder 3 is provided, which receives an exposed end of the corrugated pipe 6 of the flexible corrugated hose 2 and is pressed together with it to form a metallic seal. The metallic seal is achieved by the surface pressure between the interior wall 18 of an element 16 of the holder and the ribs 8 of the corrugated pipe 6 . Elastomeric seals 24, 25 , as well as a soldering joint 34 , if desired, can be provided as aids. However, in connection with a preferred embodiment the required sealing is already achieved by the strong pressure against each other of the metallic exterior of the corrugated pipe 6 and the metallic interior of the element 16 . A further element 17 of the holder 3 fixes a section 28 of the sheathing 11 of the flexible corrugated hose 2 in the axial direction, as well as in respect to tilting movements, so that pivot movements of the flexible corrugated hose 2 do not lead to a relative movement between the corrugated pipe 6 and the holder 3 , in particular the element 16 . Thus, the sealed area remains unaffected, even in case of mechanical tensile or bending stresses of the flexible corrugated hose assembly 1. |
