A heatable media line includes a connecting part, which establishes an electrical connection, and serves to introduce a heat conductor into a media line section. A connection of the heat conductor with contact-forming parts is set up in an end part, and the heat conductor is tightly accommodated in boreholes of a coupling part by means of two sealing bodies spaced apart from each other, as well as introduced into the media line section by way of a supporting body for purposes of heating a medium flowing in the latter. In order to produce a reliable seal intended to prevent the medium from penetrating into the end part, recesses in the walls of the coupling part and an interruption of a creepage distance are configured between the sealing bodies such that the heat conductor is directly in contact with the surrounding atmosphere.

Heatable media line

A push-in connector for releasably connecting the ends of two media lines consists of a push-in part () and a socket part () composed of a first socket section () and a second socket section (). In the installed condition, the push-in part () is axially latched in the second socket section () and accommodated in a manner that is rotatable about its axis, whereas the second socket section () can be accommodated in the first socket section () at different rotational angles about the common axis () in an axially latched manner. The second socket section () carries an actuation element () that is movable between a latched position shown by an axial pull-out safety device of the push-in part () and an unlatched position in which this pull-out safety device is lifted. This embodiment means that the rotational angular position of the second socket section () carrying the actuation element () with respect to the push-in part () as well as to the first socket section (), and thus the actuation position of the push-in connector, can be adapted to the respective installation conditions, such that unencumbered access to the actuation element () is obtained.
