The sealing arrangement includes a connecting device and one or more housing parts of a housing unit for enclosing of a component, typically an attachment component forming a head of the connecting device. The gas permeable end formed in such component can be isolated, so that the sealing arrangement is adapted for use in detecting a detectable gas in a hermetically sealed detection chamber. Thanks to a sealing structure configured at a passageway for the fastening of the connecting device, a housing unit is obtained with a tight radial contact around an intermediate portion of the connecting device. The device is fitted with a flexible hose end, preferably at a barbed nozzle forming the end at the opposite from the gas permeable end. With such arrangement, the hose mounting can be tested for its integrity.
