The flange features a first surface for contacting the support and an opposite second surface, maintaining a constant thickness along axis (B). The flange comprises a first portion, a deformation zone, and a second portion, ordered from the shank along axis (B). A groove, designed to receive a seal positioned between the support and flange, is delimited by the shank, the first portion, and the deformation zone. The first portion is located further from the crimping section than the second portion along axis (A).
