The system includes clamping systems (2) or clamping systems (2) coupled with straight or hinge-shaped connection elements with axially and radially movable tie-in points. Threaded bolts, that (6) can be arranged centrally, straight, T-shaped and crossed and acute-angled and obtuse-angled connections of pipe sections (8) with one another or of pipe sections (8) with solid sections, elbows, pipe bends, plates and the like can be easily mounted and are invisible.
