Abstract

A flange connection for pipes, especially for sanitary installations. The flange connection comprises a connecting piece which can be joined at each end to a pipe to produce a sealed connection. The flange connection further comprises a flange which is arranged radially outside on the connecting piece and which is fixable to a further component to make an indirect connection between the connecting piece and the further component. The flange has an opening through which the connecting piece is guided and the flange is fixed on the connecting piece by a retaining element.
