The invention relates to a device for the plastic sheathing of connections, which are produced by circular weld seams, of a pipeline comprising steel pipes which are provided with a factory-fitted plastic insulation and are reinsulated in the region of the circular weld seam by injection molding, having a split injection mold, which can be connected to an injection-molding fixture and, in the region of the weld seam, can be laid and secured, in the manner of a sleeve, around the steel pipes in such a manner that the injection mold in each case covers the end of the factory-fitted plastic insulation of the two steel pipes which have been welded together, the injection mold having an internal diameter, at least in the axial region between the factory-fitted plastic insulations, which corresponds to the external diameter of the plastic sheathing which is to be produced in the region of the weld seam and having an internal diameter, at its ends, which corresponds to the external diameter of the factory-fitted plastic insulation. In this device, in each case one cooling means, which runs in the circumferential direction, is arranged in the region of the ends of the injection mold.
