Abstract
A connecting arrangement for connecting two hollow components of a hydraulic circuit to one another, especially a pipe or hose to a mating component, includes a guiding formation on one of the components, especially the mating component, and a mounting formation connected to the other component, these formations having correlated cross-sectional shapes such that the guiding formation guides the mounting formation in a predetermined direction, especially the longitudinal direction of the one component, and prevents relative displacement in all other directions. The mounting formation is advantageously constituted by a separate mounting element which is affixed to the other component by a threaded connection, such as by a screw cap. The formations advantageously have complementary dovetail-shaped cross-sectional configurations. The formations have respective passages which register with one another in the assembled position of the components and which are surrounded by a seal arranged in the interface between the components.
