Abstract
It shall be created a gas socket that allows a gas connector plug to get quickly connected and disconnected. When no gas connector plug is connected the gas socket should be tamper-proof and offer protection against the ingress of foreign matter. Also, the gas socket should be fit for concealed installation. Accordingly, the gas socket has a bonnet () that shuts the connector opening () at the outlet socket () by means of a cover () when the gas connector plug is disconnected, and where said cover () is equipped with a latching device (). Such latching device () is brought into a state ready for unlatching by a first attempt to insert the gas connector plug (), to which the cover's () latching device () is adjusted, into an uptake opening (). At least one additional move of the gas connector plug () is needed to make the connector opening () of the outlet socket () accessible for the gas connector plug () to be connected.
