On the side of attachment of the end piece the branches have a hole and a slot, and on the side of the branch the end pieces have a stiffening rib and a hole aligned with the branch hole. A rivet-shaped component is installed in the holes of the end piece and branch. The stiffening rib is positioned and closed up in the branch slot, and the branch and the end piece are additionally soldered to each other on the adjacent surfaces.
