Abstract
A joint for connecting ducts for fluid distribution systems under pressure or under vacuum. The joint element has, on its periphery, a collar (18) having a diameter that is greater than the external diameter of the joint body (15), and which forms a support surface (19), with its foremost frontal-radial face, against the head of the hollow bar, and with its opposite frontal-radial face, a shoulder (20), which interacts with one or more locking brackets (21) to be fixed to the hollow bar.
