Abstract

In a sealing arrangement, in particular for the connection of a manifold to a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, a flat support (1, 3) has at least one sealing element in the form of a ring element (17) that forms a mold seal. The support (1, 3) and ring element (17) form a unit that holds the ring element captively on the support (1, 3).
