Abstract
A connector with an additional tolerance compensation capacity for articulately connecting a first and second pipeline of an engine-powered hot air supply system in an aircraft. One pipe end of the first pipeline is articulately connected by a tie rod with a pipe end of the second pipeline with the formation of a gap. The pipe ends each include a bearing ring incorporating an essentially centrically arranged receptacle for attaching the tie rod. The receptacle is connected with a bearing ring inner surface by at least two braces pointing radially outward. The opposing pipe ends are enveloped by a sealing unit for sealing the gap. A first end of the tie rod includes an adjusting unit in the form of a screw-on ball head for length adjustment while the second end includes a fixed ball head.
