Fitting for a pipe, in particular a plastic pipe or a plastic / metal composite pipe

摘要

A fitting has a fitting body (12) for receiving the end (24) of a pipe (26) to be connected, and a fixing element (32) for fixing the end (24) of the connecting pipe (26) on the fitting body (12). The fixing element (32) has a shape-memory alloy and is transformable from a non-fixing state into a fixing state, in which the end (24) of the connecting pipe (26) is fixed on the fitting body (12).
