1. A system for connecting rigid pipes and for connecting flexible pipes, wherein the pipes have corresponding outer diameters, the system comprising:
a press jaw having a press contour,
at least one first fitting for press-fitting to a rigid pipe,
wherein the at least one first fitting is formed as an externally sealing fitting and externally seals a rigid pipe to be connected, and
wherein the at least one first fitting comprises a first press sleeve having a first outer contour,
at least one second fitting for press-fitting to a flexible pipe,
wherein the at least one second fitting is formed as an internally sealing fitting and seals a flexible pipe to be connected from an inside, and
wherein the at least one second fitting comprises a second press sleeve having a second outer contour,
wherein the first outer contour of the first press sleeve and the second outer contour of the second press sleeve are each adapted at least in sections to the press contour of the press jaw and can be pressed by the press jaw.
