摘要

The device comprises a housing which can be tightly tensioned together by tensioners (40,46). The device also has flanges (22,24) which are configured in the shape of prisms that enclose the pipes of different diameters. The tensioners are correspondingly adjustable. Alternatively or additionally, at least one flange is configured so as to be adjusted in length relative to the remaining housing.
