Abstract
A connecting system for pressure lines, especially plastic pressure lines for brake systems, comprises a housing with a bore therethrough, a male connector having a stem adapted to be pushed into and pulled out of the bore. Locking of the connector in the bore is obtained by a resilient, preferably split retaining ring inserted into an annular groove open towards the bore, which after insertion of the connector into the bore will partially engage in a circumferential groove provided in the stem of the connector.
