A heatable connection apparatus includes electrically heatable hoses and a junction piece having two nipples for corresponding ones of the hoses. Each hose has two electric heating elements embedded therein. The ends of the heating elements are routed out of the hose for connection. The heating elements from one hose end are connected to corresponding ones of the heating elements from the other hose end to form two heating-element pairs lying diametrically opposite one another. Each heating-element pair is bent downward and guided through with the crimp first from above under a bracket of the housing downward toward the housing bottom, from where it is deflected by 90&#xb0; along the bottom of the junction piece in tight contact therewith. On the opposite side, the heating-element pair is guided upward and pushed with the crimp first from below and through the bracket.
