Abstract
The invention concerns a connector for producing a press connection with at least one pipe, which is pressed tightly against the connector radially by irreversible deformation or by a collar. The invention also concerns a press connection consisting of a connector and connecting pipe. The connector is composed of a basic pipe-shaped body 12, on whose outer periphery there is at least one area 14 against which the pipe 16 is tightly pressed radially. The basic body 12 is made of polyvinylidene fluoride which has a long life and high pressure and temperature resistance.
