A connection for use with lines and hoses is designed for joining up such lines with a fluid distribution unit. The connection has a body and an endpiece at one end which may be joined up with the distribution unit and undone therefrom and at the opposite end of the body there is a female endpiece, the two endpieces being joined together fluidwise by a hole running through the body and through the endpieces. In this hole, a spring-loaded stopper is placed so that it may be axially moved out of a shut-off position on pushing a piece of line or hose into the female endpiece against the force of the spring. The female endpiece has gripping fingers, separated by narrow cutouts, such fingers having a common outer conical face on which a gripping ring may be moved axially between a gripping position and a line released position. Furthermore, the stopper and the inner wall of the body have inwardly running shoulders for limiting sliding motion of the stopper into its opened position. A gasket ring, seated in a ring-like pocket in the wall of the hole through the connection, is designed for resting fluid-tightly against the outer face of the line or hose and its side turned towards the first endpiece encases liquid-tightly a collar on the stopper in the closed condition of the connection. |
