Abstract

The invention relates to a coupling arrangement (10) for pipelines, with a female coupling section (20) and a male coupling section (40) as well as a locking element (60) which at least in regions engages between the coupling sections (20, 40) and is secured on a coupling section (20), one of the coupling sections (20) comprising a locking contour (34) which cooperates with a locking contour (64) of the locking element (60), and the locking element (60) having a blocking section (62) which cooperates with a blocking section (52) of the other coupling section (40) such that a lateral movement between the coupling sections (20, 40) can be restricted.
