Fitting in accordance with any of claims 1 to 10, characterized in that the cover (4, 25) consists of a metallic material, a plastic, or a hybrid material. 12. Fitting in accordance with any of claims 1 to 11, characterized in that the cover (4) can be spring-mounted and can be mounted at least by frictional resistance on the substructure (42). 13. Fitting in accordance with any of claims 1 to 12, characterized in that the substructure (42) has at least two inwardly directed blind holes (47), which are spaced some distance apart and have a constriction (48) towards the outside. 14. Fitting in accordance with claim 13, characterized in that a stepped pin (50) is installed in the blind hole (47) between a spring (49) and the constriction (48). 15. Fitting in accordance with any of claims 1 to 14, characterized in that the substructure (42) has at least two outwardly directed locking elements (57) spaced some distance apart. 16. Fitting in accordance with claim 15, characterized in that the locking elements (57) can be inserted in bores. 17. Fitting in accordance with claim 15 or claim 16, characterized in that the blind holes (47) and the locking elements (57) are formed on opposite longitudinal sides (46, 51) of a rectangular substructure (42) and are oriented in axial alignment with each other. 18. Fitting in accordance with any of claims 1 to 17, characterized in that the cover (4) has at least two grooves (55) spaced some distance apart on the inside. 19. Fitting in accordance with any of claims 1 to 18, characterized in that the cover (4) has at least two openings (56) spaced some distance apart. 20.
