- A method of connecting coupling halves of a pipe coupling, comprising the steps of;
positioning coupling halves having flat end sides on a hook and a hook rail such that they bear against one another in an axially aligned manner and cannot be axially removed from one another; and pushing a shutoff sleeve on a connector by telescopic movement into a socket end, thereby producing the pipe coupling without shortening an overall pipe length.
