Abstract
A pipe guide adapter for drawing pipes into a channel with the aid of a traction means is provided with ribs which are arranged conically on a base pipe. The ribs ensure guidance of the pipe and, at the same time, a simple construction of the adapter. In addition, the pipe guide adapter can be provided with rollers, which are arranged in the free spaces between the ribs and facilitate the guide function of the pipe guide adapter.
