Abstract
A line connector (1) for pipelines and/or hose lines, in particular fuel lines, comprising a connecting body (2) together with at least one line-connecting element (4). The or each line-connecting element (4) is connected to the connecting body (2) via a transitional section (16) which can be deformed elastically and/or plastically in such a manner that it can be bent or buckled transversely to a push-on axis (12) of the line and relative to the connecting body (2) while keeping the media sealed in. The line-connecting element (4) together with the transitional section (16) and the connecting body (2) is formed by a single-piece molding (18) produced monolithically in a plastic molding procedure in a multicomponent injection-molding process from at least two different materials.
