Abstract

A high pressure conduit connector is provided. An insertion fitting is partially inserted into a high pressure conduit, and a press-in sleeve is provided that extends over the insertion fitting and the conduit for effecting a pressure-tight connection between them. A safety sheath, preferably embodied as a cylindrical coil spring, is secured to the outer side of the press-in sleeve, and to a portion of the insertion fitting that projects out of the high pressure conduit and the press-in sleeve, at least frictionally.
