Abstract

A sanitary line attachment ( 1 ) is provided which is of sleeve-shaped design in at least one front end region ( 6 ) and, in the sleeve interior of the sleeve-shaped front end region ( 6 ), bears an internal thread ( 7 ) for attachment to an adjacent line portion, wherein at least one sealing ring ( 9 ) is clamped in a sealing manner between the adjacent line portion and the line attachment. On the ring outer circumference of the sealing ring at least one holding projection ( 10 ) protrudes, which holding projection ( 10 ) engages in the internal thread ( 7 ) in the sleeve interior of the sleeve-shaped front end region ( 6 ). The sealing ring ( 9 ) is produced from a dimensionally stable and/or inelastic material, and the sealing ring ( 9 ) has at least one and preferably at least two indentations ( 11 ) which are arranged at a distance from one another on the ring inner circumference and are designed as tool engagement surfaces.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sanitary line attachment ( 1 ), comprising a sleeve-shaped front end region ( 6 ), said sleeve-shaped front end region ( 6 ) including a sleeve interior that bears an internal thread ( 7 ) for attachment to an adjacent line portion, a sealing ring ( 9 ) produced from at least one of a dimensionally stable or inelastic material for sealing clamping between the line attachment and the adjacent line portion located in the sleeve-shaped front end region, the sealing ring ( 9 ) being a fiber seal or produced from a fiber material, a ring outer circumference of said sealing ring ( 9 ) including at least one protruding holding projection ( 10 ), said holding projection ( 10 ) engages in the internal thread ( 7 ) in the sleeve interior of the sleeve-shaped front end region ( 6 ), the sealing ring ( 9 ) further including at least two indentations ( 11 ) which form tool engagement surfaces arranged at a distance from one another on a ring inner circumference.

2. The sanitary line attachment as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sealing ring ( 9 ) has a thickness greater than a thread pitch of the internal thread ( 7 ).

3. The sanitary line attachment as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ring outer circumference of the sealing ring ( 9 ) cuts into the internal thread ( 7 ) at least with the at least one holding projection ( 10 ).

4. The sanitary line attachment as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one holding projection comprises at least two of the holding projections ( 10 ) on the ring outer circumference of the sealing ring ( 9 ).

5. The sanitary line attachment as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the at least two holding projections ( 10 ) are arranged distributed at uniform distances around the ring outer circumference of the sealing ring ( 9 ).

6. The sanitary line attachment as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the line attachment is a tube attachment and further comprises a union nut, and the union nut forms the sleeve-shaped front end region ( 6 ) of the line attachment ( 1 ).

7. The sanitary line attachment as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sealing ring ( 9 ) has a thickness greater than or equal to two thread pitches of the internal thread ( 7 ).
