1. A connecting apparatus for lines comprising:
- a pair of connector elements having end pieces which have opposed end faces, said opposite end faces of said pair of connector elements coming into abutting contact with each other, said end faces having a plurality of complemental shapes to each other, at least one of said end pieces being provided with an outer peripheral threaded portion and the other end piece being provided with an abutment; and
a nut member in which said end pieces can be inserted so that said threaded portion of the end piece is screwed in the nut member, said nut member being provided with a counter abutment which can be engaged by said abutment of the end piece, so that, when the end pieces are inserted in the nut member, the end pieces can be integrally connected in and to the nut member by the screw engagement between the threaded portion of the end piece and the nut member and by the engagement between said abutment and the counter abutment.
