An integrally formed connection sleeve (10) for introduction into a cylindrical tube (22) has a substantially cylindrical base body with an outer diameter adapted to a tube diameter. A catch element (12) extends outward from the base body in a radial direction (14), the catch element being designed to engage in a cavity in the tube (22) in such a manner that a movement of the connection sleeve (10) in an axial direction (16) relative to the tube (22) is prevented in the engaged state. The catch element (12) further comprises an abutment (18) for a locking element (32). The invention combines the functionality of connecting the connection sleeve (10) to a tube (22) with the provision of an abutment for a connection element for connecting additional components to the tube (22) in a single catch element of an integrally formed, easy-to-assemble component, which can reduce the manufacturing costs for the connection sleeve (10) and save time and expense during assembly.
