German term

Steckweg

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) spigot and socket joint
Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass die Mechanik der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung einen Steckweg festlegt, um den die beiden Rohrabschnitte zusammengesteckt werden.

Another advantage is that the mechanics of the fixing device of the invention define "EINEN STECKWEG" (an insertion? a coupling path? ) around which both of the tube sections are coupled.

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment or suggestions.

socket depth

If that's too literal, I'd go for connection length.
