Abstract
An insert coupling for connecting a flexible pipe section to another part comprises a housing with a first cylindrical bore, a sealing ring, which is effective between the flexible pipe section and the cylindrical bore, a clamping bush with a cylindrical inner surface, which in the region near the insertion side is followed by a conical part, and a clamping ring, accommodated in the clamping bush and provided with at least one radially inward projecting tooth. The conical part of the clamping bush by way of the clamping ring exerts a clamping force on the flexible pipe section when a load occurs on the flexible pipe section in the axial direction towards the insertion side. The clamping ring is formed as a ring cut through substantially in the axial direction at one point.
