A push-fit connector for joining a fluid line to a pipe. The pipe has a retaining rib, and the push-fit connector has an angled pipe section. One end section of the angled pipe section can be connected to the fluid line and the other end section can be fitted to the pipe in only one relative rotational position by using a pair of retaining arms which can engage with the retaining rib when the pipe and pipe section are fitted together. To join the pipe section and the pipe together in a torsion-resistant manner at different relative rotational positions, the pipe section is fitted in a locking manner to a coupling ring. The coupling ring has retaining arms to connect one coupling ring, together with the pipe section, to the pipe. The coupling ring and the pipe section are protected from relative rotation with respect to each other by teeth which can be mutually engaged at different rotational positions of the pipe section and coupling ring.
