Abstract: A pipe connector for connecting a first element to a second element. The pipe connector includes a pipe segment, a first flange located at a first end of the pipe segment and configured to be connected to the first element, and a second flange located at a second end of the pipe segment and configured to be connected to the second element. The first flange includes a circumferential anchor flange that is fixedly connected to the pipe segment at the first end. A flange insert is displaceable in the axial direction of the pipe connector in relation to the anchor flange between a retracted position and an extended position, and a mechanism for displacing the flange insert in relation to the anchor flange. The flange insert in the extended position protrudes in the axial direction in relation to the anchor flange.
