Abstract
The press-fitting device for the connection of a tube, particularly a plastics tube or a plastics/metal/plastics compound tube, is provided with a connection body (12) comprising a substantially cylindrical connection portion (18) adapted for mounting thereon the end of the tube (39) to be connected. At least one deepened portion (20) formed in the connection portion (18) of the connection body (12). The annular sealing element (28) provided for sealing the connection body (12) with respect to the tube (39) in the connection portion (18), is made from a cross-linked polymeric material, the sealing element (28) extending over the at least one deepened portion (20). A pressing shell (42) is provided for radially pressing the tube end to the connection portion (18) of the connection body (12).
