1. A coupling having a connector for inserting into a receiving depression in a housing, and having the housing with the receiving depression,
the connector having a stub with a flow channel formed therein, the flow channel extending as far as a frontal end of the stub and being surrounded by a lateral surface, wherein a bracing ring surrounds the lateral surface at the frontal end,
wherein the bracing ring is designed and constructed so that, as a result of an axial force acting on the bracing ring and directed towards the frontal end, the bracing ring can be pushed all the way onto the lateral surface and an external diameter being increased, establishing a rotationally fixed connection between the connector and the housing,
wherein the receiving depression is designed and constructed to complement the connector.
