The connection is of the T type with a straight portion (10) closed at one end and a side branch (19) connected to the pipe (8). The closed end of the straight portion (10) has an end wall (14) having a zone of sufficiently slight thickness to permit its perforation for the purpose of injecting a gas into the tube.
